I just spoke with a member of LPD outside the hall of justice after protesters left to the Capitol. He told me that law enforcement was instructed not to be out tonight. Says it is part of their de-escalation tactics. Seems to be working.

An interesting note...
Instead of using nitrogen gas, Nebraska state senator Megan Hunt of Omaha (
@NebraskaMegan
) amended the bill, suggesting a ‘legislative firing squad.’
This would require members of the legislature to physically carry out capital punishment themselves.
Could Nebraska become the 4th state to legalize nitrogen hypoxia for the death penalty? The mother of a murdered Omaha girl, whose killer now sits on death row, shared her opinion with me.

Hey Dave, guess what? We’re human and mess up sometimes too. Just because two numbers got switched in one tweet doesn’t mean the reporting in the article isn’t good. Your bio says dad of 4 kids. I hope strangers don’t tell them that their work isn’t good because of one mistake.
