“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.”

    This is such a tired response at this point. If you really have no idea, go take a nap. Your country is better off without your help. When Americans do finally act, they’re not going to want you underfoot asking for directions.

    But let’s be real- you already know full well.

    What you’re really asking is “what would you have us do that requires very little work and doesn’t put me at any risk?”

      Tired of not being able to answer a simple question? Yeah. I would be too if I kept trying to suggest people send themselves off to be slaughtered.
