Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered by federal agents. The video is unambiguous regarding this conclusion. You can see it with your own eyes.
US law enforcement has never been entirely fair, as any person of color will tell you. What makes these killings unnerving isn't that one of them involved a white, hetero male (though that is shockingly novel), it's that every fed up to the president immediately labeled him a "domestic terrorist" without evidence, and despite the video that clearly shows he was shot at close range when he was clearly not a threat. This is then compounded by a justice department that appears unwilling to conduct an investigation, is hiding evidence from state and local agencies, and is unlikely to charge anyone with a crime.
The agents involved acted as judge, jury and executioner, without due process. Calling it a cascade of civil rights failures is an understatement.
Congress must act. If the spineless bastards aren't going to impeach the president, they can impeach the leadership of these federal agencies. They're not qualified to lead.
