The articulation of murder is never easy. As a political commentator I have never felt so helpless as I have over the past 48 hours trying to accurately represent the facts surrounding what happened to Renee Good.
I went to bed last night mentally exhausted terrified that I had not done justice to the messaging that needed to be out there in response to the vile attacks that the right had launched to excuse the murder of a Minnesota mom who had just left behind all those that loved her.
It made me feel physically sick that the President of the United States, his Vice President and the Secretary of Homeland Security, were spearheading a campaign to depict Renee as a ‘domestic terrorist ’ while standing behind an ICE officer who had flouted all the DHS use of lethal force guidelines to put three bullets in the head of a woman fleeing in fear of her life from an aggressive masked man hurling expletives at her while attempting to access her vehicle.
I think Jasmine Crockett perfectly articulates exactly how I was feeling.
