(Reuters) - When a senior Republican state lawmaker demanded that Minnesota's Democratic governor apologize to "moms out in the suburbs scared to death" about protests over racism and police brutality, Jamie Becker-Finn responded on Twitter with the "#IAmASuburbanMom" hashtag.
"I don't need an apology," Becker-Finn, a Democratic member of the state House of Representatives and a mother from the Minneapolis suburb of Roseville, wrote in response to Minnesota Senate Republican leader Paul Gazelka's comment last Friday.
"I need the GOP Senate to be more than just sad and sorry that George Floyd was killed by police," Becker-Finn added, using shorthand for the Republican Party.
Tens of thousands of people have since taken to Twitter with the hashtag, saying they are suburban women standing with protesters over the death of Floyd, a black man, after a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis last month.

'Law and Order!' just does not cut it nowadays. People counting on it are battleship admirals in a carrier war.
