Jones: Raid On Home Was Intended To Get At ‘Contacts’ And ‘Scare People’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Be well Rebekah Jones and Family.
This is BS 24-7 fascist Bully boy tactics.
It’s gangster style intimidation. The link between her whistle blowing and this retribution attack, needs to be investigated and established, so it can be punished.
Way to many hamfisted idiots in Americas police forces.
Seems the police are practising for the dictatorship.
A REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP!! Not a democratic dictatorship!! NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN EVER AGAIN!!!
They didn’t even take off their shoes … so disappointing.
They have always been in this state of mind.. Only thing gonna come out of this is citizens standing there ground fight back against these pigs
@rstevewarmorycom
Agreed, sorry I didn’t make it clear that is the Repugnants trying to dismantle democracy not the incoming President ByeDon
DeSantis is just following the lead of his idol, lord and savior, Donald Trump.
Be safe and well with your family.
Stalin’s ‘black ravens’
Storm Troopers of Fuehrer Trump?
@
riccihershey – It’s even worse imo–this was done by the governor. Donnie and Trumpism have metastasized; little wanna-be Donnie Trumps are popping up all over the place. His term squatting in the White House was proof of a concept: the GOP is ready for authoritarianism and fascism, and so are over 70 million Americans voters…
…not to mention the likely millions more who (luckily) didn’t vote.
Chilling Effect. All responsible should be relieved from their jobs.
no one will be relieved from their jobs because the sheep have been long asleep and still asleep which led to this situation
Relieved from their jobs???
Charged with mass MURDER and treason
@Truth sam there was this letter Jefferson wrote that during the Obama years Republicans quoted alot….
“I dunno, this Desantis guy’s scare tactics seems a little extreme.” – Kim Jong Un
“I don’t know what she’s up to. It was a normal decent state visit.” – Alexander Lukashenko
Face of fascism in 21st Century Amerika…
They’re trying to get anything they can, for Donny’s revenge, and the Governor’s revenge, on behalf of Donny. It’s gangster style intimidation. The link between her whistle blowing and this retribution attack, needs to be established, so it can be punished.
I’m so sorry that happened to you and yours. Mr. De santis is a crook. Keep going!
DeSantis is a Trump crony that tries to copy him (even doing the hand flapping and scowls too) and wanted to downplay the pandemic too. This was retaliation.
Mini Trump down to the tiny hands
The police should not have raided her home for refusing to manipulate Covid data.
Its alot of sick trump supporters out there doing anything to support the that covid dont exist
We don’t train our police to “Protect and Serve” anymore.
Now it is, “Demand Respect! And use any force necessary to attain it!”
👍👍👍
You hit the nail on the head. Absolute control absent of any diplomacy.
Their slogan — “…to protect and serve” is only half of the slogan. The full slogan is below.
“…to protect and serve those who sign our paychecks.”
The police are Proletariat traitors, because they surveil, arrest, and fine OTHERS in the Proletariat, to the fiscal and political benefit of the Bourgeouisie.
They do NOTHING to either protect or serve the general public.
@DrumWild
Can’t say that I agree with a blanket statement like that, but you are entitled to your opinion.
Keep in mind, the taxpayer pays their paycheck, so in theory they should be protecting their bosses. As anywhere else, corruption can change the dynamics in a negative way.
.
I just hope MSNBC is protecting her.
Poor woman and her children. This is proof (as if we didn’t know) that police are also corruptible political puppets.
Desantis and his goon squad need to be accountable… he is responsible for many deaths and injuries from covid
In any other western democracy DeSantis would be voted out of office. Not in Florida though!!!!!
Not in a number of states apparently
… this is not America … this is Dictator-ship in the Making …
Ah, I take it you have never been black?
Not really in-the-making, but already made.
It’s akin to watching the rise of the 4th Reich. So if Agolf Tweetler had managed to steal the election, what was the game plan for the next four years ? Russian tanks on US soil?
@Douglas Clyant it’s new for them…maybe we’ll see real change now? 🤷🏾♀️
@LVW I hope so ,as I live and die I hope so .
After hearing about the CDC emails it all makes sense. Numbers being fabricated to re open Florida….whoa.
I’m just glad that she’s not African American. The end game might have been different… Sorry to say… Stay safe ✌️🇨🇦😷
The USA is looking more and more like a Third world country every day.
