Letters: Violence of Trump administration is creating fear
"I looked at the recording of the murderous incident in Minnesota. I did not see a lawbreaker driving at a sworn officer. What I witnessed was a hysterical ICE agent cursing at somebody to get out of the car;that same car pulling away from the ICE agent; and the driver of that car, by all accounts a virtuous citizen, shot and killed ruthlessly when deadly force was completely uncalled for."
"In his letter, John Griggs concludes, Don't drive at a sworn officer. OK, Griggs, simple question: Were you there? Did you witness all the preceding events? No? I didn't think so. So your input has exactly zero relation to reality. Try getting your information from a reliable, trustworthy source instead of the fiction that ICE and Kristi Noem want you to spout."
"Thank goodness European countries have stepped in by putting those very important boots on the ground to deter Donald Trump from an action that could destroy NATO. What an incredible insult to Denmark, an ally whose soldiers fought and died in support of America's military. The Trump administration's approach, by Vice President Vance, is so insulting that it is embarrassing"
Lawful resistance to unjust laws and alleged government misbehavior is presented as a long-standing American practice and a civic right. A recorded Minnesota incident is described as showing an ICE agent cursing and a car pulling away, followed by an allegedly unjustified lethal shooting of a purportedly virtuous driver, prompting fear of state-sanctioned violence. Another writer challenges a call to avoid driving at officers by questioning the writer's eyewitness status and reliability of sources. A separate letter praises European deterrence against potential Trump actions, condemning perceived insults to allies and NATO risks.
