The vibe here in Minneapolis is so, so heavy. We've had so much go wrong - since George Floyd, the murders of the Hortmans, the Annunciation Church shootings, and now this... I'm seeing the footage of people gathering at the site of the murder of Rene Good. It's not far. I think I have to go there.

The FBI & ICE both under the DHS tied to the DoJ. Overseen by the SCrOTUS.

Maybe Minn can get somewhere with that.

This is no accident or coincidence .The proof being that the chronically day late and AWOL apricot addled Antichrist was issuing dictums before Renee Good’s wheels had stopped spinning.

This is premeditated payback for George Floyd and BLM. The one thing that the Retrumplican canon says cost the 2020 election aside from the COVID debacle.

Former Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper said President Donald Trump inquired about shooting protesters amid the unrest that took place after George Floyd's murder in 2020. He recounts that incident, and many others, in a wide-ranging interview with NPR's Michel Martin on All Things Considered.

Esper said he stayed in the administration because he worried that if he left, the president would more easily implement some of his "dangerous ideas."

The former Defense chief also said he hopes Trump does not seek the presidency in 2024.

"We need leaders of integrity and character, and we need leaders who will bring people together and reach across the aisle and do what's best for the country. And Donald Trump doesn't meet the mark for me on any of those.
