So he must live in my city of Portland OR now.

Geez, that was so hard to read

I voted for JoAnn Hardesty because we haven't had.a Black person on the City Council since 1994. (She's the first Black woman on there ever.) I'm white but I'm woke haha. Ok, not really

And a petty reason I voted for JoAnn is because I used to wait on her all the time when she brought in her dry-cleaning in the '80's. She was an activist way back then. I liked her.

I think she ran on more police accountability . That's the impression I got. We have a Black woman for Police Chief who's from Oakland and I have the idea she's all about the Thin Blue Line.

Sorry to ramble about minor stuff in relation to his story.

We have a bottomless need for more woke people who know that we're in this mess together.

I know the beginning of what he's going through because of my brother's 5-year ordeal with repeated police brutality in front of his children, repeated forced entry into his home, false incarceration all because of no longer allowing parking of a principal at a school across the street at the house he just bought. Principal made good on his promise to sic his best friend, a police chief, on him. It was horrifying not knowing if he'd end up dead in prison due to being jumped by white supremacists they sicked on him, too.

I can't tell you of the devastating aftermath and disruption of his family let our parents and his siblings. Recovery will take the rest of our lives and McKelvey's life, too, even if his ordeal goes no further. But Thank Goodness McKelvey is alive and gaining support. Those are the first blessings because where there's life he can fight with everything he's got. What the racists hate is a light shined down on them like fucking roaches.

Thanks for the alert, irisblue.
