Cynthia Brehm is head of the Bexar County Republican Party in San Antonio. She also drew attention and condemnation last monthRepublican Texas Gov.

The post is no longer on Brehm’s page. She has not publicly addressed calls for her resignation and did not respond to requests for comment Thursday.
The issue is not just about the black lives matter, but the fact that ethnic communities all around the globe matter to all human lives, because racism in every corner of the planet in a modernised hidden form drives a well-designed institutionalised system.
Dont open churches because wuhanvirus. Go protest in groups by the 1000s. 🤷♂️
The killing of Floyd was absolutely devastating. But making him a hero was also wrong! Floyd was a career criminal. Did several years in prison for drugs, stealing, and pointing a gun at the belly of a pregnant woman while others stole from her. NOT A HERO
Protesters are responsible for the choices they make. Quit punishing law enforcement for doing a good job.
Two Buffalo officers suspended after video shows man badly injured during protest. What happens to protesters who injure officers ? They are bailed out by celebrities.
Do you know ? your organs will stay intact . Hong Kong protesters will not
Kids
The streets must be occupied by the people till reforming the police and especially reducing their cost and budget be a fact! Most police officers are monsters and mainly abusing the Law!
Good!
I've heard of suicide by cop .. but never suicide by protest.. it's like he was trying to go out swinging ..he just needed a caregiver/family member to stop him from doing that..it was just sad
You say that officers “made orderly arrests without batons or riot gear.” That’s not what I saw. I saw protestors bleeding out of their head at the hands of riot cops in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Do fucking better with these headlines! The police shoved a SENIOR to the ground and hit his head on CONCRETE. WTF is wrong with you all?

Salt Lake City man no longer a 'tough guy' after getting his sorry ass kicked by people he threatened
Hey what up with this?
This is why everyone hates you. The two Buffalo police officers pushed a 75 year old sown and seriously injured him. Then they lied and said he tripped and fell.
Good. Put him away for a long long time!
Why the passive voice? This man was badly injured, huh? What's wrong with: man shoved by officers
RotoKyleNBA No mention of over 200 injured police officers in NYC. I guess that doesn’t fit narrative
So glad bow and arrow guy was arrested. I guess he didn't know there was video of him waving the bow around with an arrow ready to launch.
DeBlasio is useless and needs to be removed from office.
“matter”?
Glad they arrested him.
“Badly injured” You mean cops attempted to murder him ACAB
This you?
The aftermath of peaceful protests in NYC. The media won't show you !
No mention of the officers who have been seriously & critically hurt nor the people who have died because of the rioting.
That’s how you do it!!! “He was reportedly pushed to the ground on Saturday after pointing the bow and arrow at people protesting the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. People then flipped over his car and set it on fire.” BlackLivesMatter AmericaOrTrump
Salt Lake City doesn't fuck around...
'Two Buffalo officers suspended after video shows them badly injuring a man during protest' Fixed it for you. Write accurate headlines.
He also lied about 2 black men assaulting him to Fox News. To be fair, people of all races gave this idiot a beating for being dangerously stupid and threatening. BlackLivesMatter JusticeForGeorgeFloyd PoliceReformNow
'tripped & fell' until the vdo surfaced
DavidBegnaud
TeresaMWalker no no no. that man in buffalo wasn't part of a 'protest' he was completely alone on the street and got assaulted by some jackbooted thugs
That passive voice again: it should be “man injured by police during protest” not “man injured during protests.” Maybe folks at AP could see if there’s anyone who publishes a ‘style guide’ of some sort?
covid testing for protestors is something you should spin up if possible. it really needs discussing. between the arrested, our government, a militia, and a lot of itchy people if we can roll out national testing then we can quickly prep/redistribute supplies in advance.
Somehow I think “shows man badly injured” is a little passive for “is thrown to the ground head first by manic psychopaths who don’t move to help the injured 75 year old bleeding from the ears and attacking those who do move to help.”
Dems are showing fake Solidarity with Blacks over George Floyd murder. Minneapolis is controlled by you ain't black enough JoeBiden Dems. RealDonaldTrump GOP
'man badly injured during protest?!' A 75-year-old man went up to them peacefully, they pushed him, saw him bleeding, ignored him, walked over him & then LIED in a press release saying he tripped. He was 'injured' b/c the cops aggressively pushed him & ignored him. DO BETTER.
The fact he's alive shows the resolve of the protestors. Using a hunting weapon on human beings like they were animals could have got him killed. I'm shocked it didn't.
Why is no one talking about this?
To be clear, this man is a moron and in no way represents the general sentiment of its citizens.
Bill Barr is trying to get protesters infected He knows black people are more likely to die of COVID19
IF BLACK LIVES MATTER to you just take two seconds to hear me out THANK YOU 💜💜 blacklivesmatter
