The large, macho males from Immigration and Customs Enforcement who’re storming round American cities like Visigoths are a bunch of cowards.
They arm themselves as if they’re battling ISIS terrorists in Iraq whereas the one risk they face is widespread Americans with whistles and protest indicators. They break into personal properties with out warrants, they gasoline faculty children, they sort out ladies on the road, they smash into the vehicles of Americans. And one among them summarily executed a mom of three kids as a result of – nicely, as a result of he may.
They assume they’re powerful, however they’re punks hiding behind masks. They’re poorly educated thugs dressed up like actual troopers who assume they’re dwelling out a online game the place they get factors for assaulting anybody who will get of their manner. They’re the furthest factor from the actual cops who police communities with restraint, self-discipline and a data of the regulation.
These mercenaries don’t serve the nation; they serve a regime that excuses their unjustified violence and lies about their lawless actions. President Donald Trump falsely alleges that Renee Good, the mother of three gunned down in Minneapolis by an ICE agent, was a “professional agitator” who showed “disrespect” for law enforcement. His toady, press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who will say any despicable factor to please her boss, accused Good of being “a lunatic.” The Homeland Safety boss, Kristi Noem, branded Good a “home terrorist.”
There is zero evidence of any of the Trump administration’s slander. Renee Good was, certainly, out on the road to observe the actions of ICE, however, as anybody can see within the video taken seconds earlier than she was killed, she was smiling on the ICE brokers and telling them she was not mad at them. She was, in truth, doing what she had been ordered to do, shifting her automobile out of the best way.
Trump and his crew are even greater cowards than the cosplay cops they’ve despatched to terrorize immigrants and punish Democratic cities. It takes leaders with maturity and guts to confess fault and settle for accountability. The merciless clowns within the White Home won’t ever be courageous sufficient to do this.
