“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.”

      What would be the difference? Much easier travel to your state representative? Easier to find them? Easier to set up a chat group and organise your friends and family?

            Naaah… I’d rather just have clueless people who don’t live here make failed attempts at armchair-quarterbacking the entire thing.

            You know, since it’s so cut-and-dry.

              I’ve petitioned my government many times, I’m doing so again in a couple of weeks face to face with my representative.

              For the ‘home of the brave and the land of the free’ your really are sounding like an easily controlled pussy.

                It’s fucking hilarious you think these people can be reasoned with. Makes me wonder if you think the Jews should have tried to have a sit-down face-to-face with Hitler to see if he would just…… you know, stop.
