“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.”

      The US is the epitome of the idea that if you have an appointment 45min away at 8:45 and it’s 8:40 if you just pretend to be in a hurry you might make it on time. You will not be calling ahead to tell anyone where you are because you’re “on the way” and obviously you’re still stopping for a little coffee because you’ve had a stressful morning.
