By Brian Daitzman
One day after Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot in the head and killed during an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, GOP Representative Randy Fine of Florida appeared on Newsmax and said he did not feel bad.
I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved, Mr. Fine said, adding that if you impede the actions of our law enforcement
you get whats coming to you.
A Republican member of Congress, Mr. Fine described the shooting as completely justified, despite the fact that no court or jury has ruled on whether the agents use of lethal force was lawful. He warned that more Americans will die if they impede law enforcement, remarks that intensified national outrage and focused attention on how elected officials have publicly characterized the killing.
During the interview, Mr. Fine framed Ms. Goods death as a deterrent rather than as a loss of life, language that drew criticism as the investigation into the shooting remained ongoing.

And here we are. We keep throwing non whites, non Christians under the bus, choosing order over justice.

The Republican Party has lost its way and needs to be voted out, and condemned

And since republicans own the companies that make the machines and program the machines and the reporting sites, they have a pretty good chance of winning
