The Berks County Democratic Committee joins with all Americans of good conscience in expressing our condolences to the family of Renee Good of Minneapolis. We should all be horrified that a human being was shot and killed by an agency of our federal government.<\/p>\n
It has been stated many times that Immigration and Customs Enforcement being responsible for a death was predictable and preventable. We are aghast that the investigation has now been taken over solely by the FBI, and local law enforcement has been completely sidelined.<\/p>\n
In the immediate response by Homeland Security and the president, the victim was referred to as a domestic terrorist, and the killing was being called an act of self-defense prior to any investigation of facts.<\/p>\n
We have all seen the videos. The American people are smart enough to know when their government is gaslighting them instead of taking responsibility.<\/p>\n
This is a true tragedy and needs to make us all aware of what an authoritarian regime looks like. Terrorizing communities does not make us safer.<\/p>\n
