EDITOR:
The Platte County Democratic Women condemn the actions of ICE in the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
We believe this is not a time to be silent in the attacks on innocent people, citizens and women. We have seen with our own eyes the events on January 7th and we are asking for accountability with an independent investigation that is objective and fact-based.
Minnesota officials say the U.S. Attorney’s office has prevented the state from taking part in an investigation to be led solely by the FBI. This cannot ensure the public’s trust. No one is above the law and there need to be answers to an unarmed U.S. citizen being shot three times in the face in broad daylight.
We are seeing attacks from this administration on women at every level and we will not be silent and we will never stop fighting for our rights and our safety.
This could have been any of us and it will not stop until we stand up and fight for change. Renee Good was not a threat. She was a wife, a mother, a neighbor. She was us–we are all Renee Good.
