Photo: Aaron P. Bernstein/Getty Images In 1979, Maxine Waters was serving her first term as a California state assemblywoman from Los Angeles when one of her constituents, a 39-year-old widow named Eula Love, was shot eight times and killed in her own front yard after a dispute with police over a $22 gas bill.
Maxine Waters: I’ve been reflecting on what was going on back in the day, when I was confronting Daryl Gates, starting when the police shot Eula Love, which brought me in contact with the police commission and brought me to taking a look at what was going on with police community relations. Take a look at one of the quotes from Daryl Gates on choke holds.
MW: I had a long talk with my grandson who is very politically aware and pays attention even though he’s in the entertainment industry, about what’s different [about this moment].
MW: Look, the criminal-justice system has never really worked for black people. It’s not designed to work for black people. For the most part, police officers have been majority white and juries have been majority white, and it’s just in the past ten years that we’re starting to see black people who are judges and attorneys general and higher up within a criminal-justice system. So we have always had to struggle in a criminal-justice system.
RT: I thought of him when you were talking about Daryl Gates line about “blacks” versus “normal people,” and his statement this weekend that his supporters “love the black people,” that made so explicit that he sees black Americans as wholly distinct from his base, and his vision of “making America great again.” It’s an acknowledgment that he doesn’t see African-Americans as part of the whole of the nation he leads.

RepMaxineWaters Younare a disgusting mean liar.
lollybowean RepMaxineWaters Black tangible actions not words are needed from Representative Waters and that applies to the rest of the CBC. The quote, well that's obvious to anyone with common sense.
RepMaxineWaters St*u. Strealing a TV has nothing to do with Floyd's death. And this professional propagandist lives in a big expensive house and enjoys governmental security. She doesn't give a s*** about the small businesses destroyed by rioting. Literally. ST*U. Pathetic white pandering.
RepMaxineWaters Yes, i love this & it is REALLY important!

RepMaxineWaters There’s a few things to consider here: 1-The veil is lifted- you see clearly, 2: maybe Americans of color should have our own constitution- there wasn’t one black man in the room in 1776? So let’s start with our own constitution

RepMaxineWaters Most young kids don’t graduate from high school, poverty is through the roof and hating the cops is taught from birth. If RepMaxineWaters cared about anybody of color, she would resign because she has FAILED them for decades. 💙🖤💙
