USA Today Shortly after news of the ruling broke, #blacklivesmatter started trending on Twitter. In the hour afterward, there were more than 13,000 tweets using the hashtag, according to Twitter analytics tool Topsy. The Washington Post As thousands of people tweeted on Wednesday night, many of the messages were serious. Others were random, highly political, and, indeed, irrelevant. There’s no way to verify the #CrimingWhileWhite confessions in the tweets, but the hashtag represents an expression by whites who are disturbed by the continuing racial disparities in the criminal justice system. ABC News Critics attacked the NYPD after it posted a tweet in response to the Eric Garner decision, writing, “The #NYPD is committed to rebuilding public trust. #Wehearyou.” At about 4:15 p.m., city officials were notified by New York City’s digital director to “stop all outbound social content until further notice.” New York Daily News “My prayers are with the family of #EricGarner during this most difficult time. #TheSystemIsBroken,” tweeted Michael Brown’s attorney, Benjamin Crump. “Guess I should not be stunned. But I am stunned & angry,” tweeted Brad Lander, the city council’s deputy leader for policy. “Video. Prohib’td chokehold. Coroner says homicide. This is not justice.” Upload a Photo on Social Media, and Toyota Will Donate 10 Car Seats for Kids (Adweek) Toyota is turning mobile photo uploads on Twitter and Instagram into a philanthropic opportunity.
