Twitter Lets Verified Users Spread Fake Photo Linking MN Cop to ‘Make Whites Great Again’ Hat

18

It is not a surprise that Twitter would allow a fake photo to circulate, so that the Left could exploit the tragic Minneapolis Police situation. It’s all about vilifying President Trump and trashing the United States!

Department of Justice, remove the immunity Twitter enjoys under Section 230 of the FEC code.

Twitter Lets Verified Users Spread Fake Photo Linking MN Cop to ‘Make Whites Great Again’ Hat

By Breitbart, May 27, 2020

Twitter has failed to take action as several verified accounts on Wednesday posted a photo falsely linking a Minneapolis police officer — infamous after he was caught on video kneeling on a now-deceased black man’s neck — with a man wearing a “Make Whites Great Again” baseball hat.

The video, which has sparked national outrage, shows police detaining 46-year-old George Floyd in south Minneapolis on Monday evening.

The clip shows an officer, believed to be Derek Chauvin, kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over seven minutes as he uttered, “I can’t breathe. Please, the knee on my neck.”

Floyd later died at Hennepin County Medical Center.

Hours after the video went viral, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced the firings of four Minneapolis Police Department officers.

“This is the right call,” Frey wrote on Twitter.

“Being black in America should not be a death sentence,” he said. “For 5 minutes we watched as a white officer pressed his knee to the neck of a black man, for 5 minutes. When you hear someone calling for help, you are supposed to help, this officer failed in the most basic human sense.”

On Twitter, users upset with Officer Chauvin began sharing a photo collage which falsely suggests is wearing a red baseball hat that reads “Make Whites Great Again,” a reference to President Donald Trump’s 2016 election slogan “Make America Great Again.”

However, the man on the right is not Chauvin but appears to resemble former federal prisoner Jonathan Lee Riches, who has reportedly claimed to have filed over 4,000 lawsuits.

One of the first verified accounts to share the photo, around midnight eastern time, was far-left activist and radio host Talbert Swan. He wrote: “Here is Derek Chauvin, the racist cop who kept his knee on #GeorgeFloyd’s neck, cut off his air passage and murdered him, wearing a ‘Make Whites Great Again’ hat, a clear sign that this piece of excrement should’ve been taken off the streets a long time ago.”

After being called out for sharing fake news, Swan has refused to delete the misleading post and told the people asking for a correction to “go to Hades.”

@js; IF or when “section 230” is removed, then these Anti-American “platforms” will be free to REMOVE EVERY ONE THEY DISAGREE WITH. Add something like this to “section 230”; “name of platform” cannot ban, shadow ban, delete, control the search feature or censor ANY comment given by any individual that the 230 organization disagrees with. If they can be proven to CENSOR, in any form, they CAN be SUED!!!!!

Habla Español? [I don’t either.. well, a bit, una poco..]
Completamente en español, cada página, incluso las columnas laterales y encabezados [Completely in Spanish, every page, even the side columns, and headings]
So that may be how Venezuelans and Russians read Geller Report. They translate it. Someone is reading Felix1999 in Russia. Is good, No?
Maybe I’ll try Hebrew next.
update: Yeah Hebrew Geller Report works beautifully. Pamela’s website translates very well, because the underlying web design is simple and logical. With just some simple support, Global Geller could be done, in ALL major languages. So when I post my stupid jokes, people in Israel will wonder what is wrong with me.

Why am I not surprised this is Trump’s fault?
There is no excuse for the looting, violence and stealing going on.
Go to court and get justice like other civilized people do!
I’m betting SOROS is behind this using ANTIFA.

felix1999 en Mientras Minneapolis se quema, el representante de Jihad, Ilhan Omar, tuitea en parte: ‘Nuestra ira es justa. Nuestra ira está justificada.
and I am translated as “Reglas de la democracia” [Rules of Democracy]:

Some cops in some communities were hired to catch slaves in the antebellum days …

However, most police departments formed in the 19th century were formed after slavery had been outlawed by most American states … and slave catching was not their function

… in fact this was one of the issues leading up to the Dred Scott decision – and following upon it – as almost all Americans in Free States did not want their police forces used to catch runaway slaves …

As for this instance … it appears to be just one asset-hole cop … but we don’t know that yet since – as usual – we have to deal with riots incited by black grievance mongers before we can deal with the issue of Mr. Floyd’s death …

Ironic is it not that Leftists wanted to force cops to catch slaves before the Civil War, employed them to harass law-abiding black citizens after the Civil War, and now want them to protect criminals – especially those from foreign nations who entered the nation illegally …

… makes one wonder what kind of law enforcement officer the Left really wants …

Makes one think lowering standards for cops does not increase professionalism of our law enforcement agencies …

Oh & it got way worse than this. ICE TEA shared it too. He got vile!

It is not the cop! The cop is awful & so is this guy! But they are NOT the same person. This sick guy does stuff like this all the time when horrific things happen. And social media just lets him. Arrest him!

But I think this guy & all these Anti-White Racist blue checks blue idiots that got tricked should ALL be arrested. They helped fan the flames!

Haters and racists are going to hate the race they hate …

… and the race they hate is ‘Whitey’ …

… so any conduct by any person of light skin color

… condemns us all

… even as POC commit totally unrelated crimes

… and only Orange-Man-Bad and ‘Whitey’ are blamed

The entire episode matches the Demoralize, Destabilize, Crisis, Normalize agenda of the Left … one could be forgiven for wondering if the cops killed Floyd

… BECAUSE America is on the verge of kicking the Leftards to the curb …

… and desperately need something to feed their narrative of hate and bigotry …

Exactly, they feel they’ve been denied opportunities despite the fact that the entire system is geared to advancing the Ivy League families and minorities. If someone ends up with a criminal record THEY are the one responsible for their own crap life. If they drop out, they did that.

The biggest problem is this:

the Hackerw group “Anonymous” has identified Minneapolis Police officer actually doing the vandalism and fires so as to blame blacks

To an objective mind the riots, arson, arrests,and killings that followed the death of Floyd illustrate the tremendous stress to which cops are subjected daily performing their lawful duties in black and Muslim neighborhoods. Once in a while excessive force may be used and like in any war zone overreaction may occur due to the stress, but not to any overt hatred on the part of the police.
