“These unprecedented tactics – which even the former top lawyer of the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel – have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens,” the Obamas said.
The Obamas accused the Trump administration of “escalating” the tension in Minneapolis by offering the public explanations of the shootings of Pretti and Renee Good “that aren’t informed by any serious investigation – and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence.”
Yes Obama was part of the problem too. Refusing to acknowledge the surveillance and rights to authorities as soon as they claimed terrorism were way beyond what’s healthy for a democracy. Unfortunately Obama too was very “American” in that regard.
