I’m old enough to remember when @GovMikeDeWine said he supported gun violence prevention policies after the Dayton mass shooting.
Instead, Ohio just became the 23rd state with permitless carry — legislation that is associated with INCREASES in violent crime.

Amir Locke was a lawful gun owner and not listed in the warrant requested by police.
These shootings are often deduced to being split-second decisions, when in reality, there is/should be planning done beforehand as is the case when serving any other warrants or orders.
Coalition to Stop Gun Violence retweeted
This is now the second [highly publicized] incident of an innocent Black person being murdered by law enforcement during the execution of a no-knock warrant that had nothing to do with them.
We need accountability for Locke’s killing and policy change to ban no-knock warrants.
Coalition to Stop Gun Violence retweeted
Deaths that occur during the execution of no-knock warrants are never acceptable. Accepting any number of deaths in the execution of this practice reinforces the notion that Black bodies are expendable.
Amir Locke’s life mattered.
