United States Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has said that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will not be investigating the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who killed Renee Nicole Macklin Good, while also confirming reports that it is looking into charges against top Minnesota officials for encouraging protests.

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday night, Blanche said the civil rights unit of the Justice Department would not bow to pressure to investigate the shooting death of Minneapolis resident and mother Good, 37, earlier this month.

    That’s a bad take. If people lose faith in the legal system, they’ll go vigilante. Justice is a strong human need.

      That’s why it’s a good take. Instead of a sham trial they skip the kangaroo court and people finally seek justice. Trump is awesome.

        That is the world’s greyest silver lining.

        That said,I won’t be sad when it happens. Just sad that it needed to get to that.
