While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans.
Congress needs to act!

Good morning, beautiful friends. Just like butterflies find shelter from the rain to preserve the beauty of their wings, you too can find solace in the storms of life, knowing you'll soar again when the storms pass. #Jaye’sMorningLight

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

BASH: But he wasn't impeding. He was filming, which is a legal thing to do in the United States

What is Trump Really Threatening with the Insurrection Act?
Following another shooting, Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, calling legal protestors "professional agitators and insurrectionists," but what can we really expect?
