How much time have you spent in #Cambridge, Massachusetts? If I had not commented on the Sayed Faisal case, would you have done it? Be honest, @rasheednwalters. #mapoli

Rasheed N. Walters @rasheednwalters

In the People’s Republic of #CambridgeMA politicians, comrade citizens, and far left activists expect a officer to not defend themselves against a man charging at them with a Kukri Knife which is akin to a machete. These people are insane! They all wanted that officer to die!

I will say this for the @JimLyonsMA crowd - They are quick to weigh in on the events that others first highlight, without adding insight or offering any solutions. Isn’t that right, @rasheednwalters? 😉

Gun violence is rampant in our community! Transparency is a beginning. Change won’t happen when an injustice is normalized for any reason. Mishandling a firearm is violent- it can discharge fatally. 12 years defending that a loaded firearm is dangerous is too long #mapoli

Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley

Words are not enough. Again & again, my heart is broken.

We must root out gun violence in all forms, everywhere & end this vicious & devastating cycle.
