Trump’s DOJ refuses to commit to a proper investigation into the murder of Renee Good by an ICE agent and instead plays semantic games, trying to lull the public into disinterest.
Blanche recently said there was no need to investigate Good’s murder because everyone saw the video.
He continues to denigrate her death.
Q: So you’re saying that the shooting investigation of Alex Pretti is now a civil rights investigation. You’re saying, you’re implying that that’s always been the case.
Can you also say, what about the shooting of Renee Goode? I mean, is she, is that, why or why not is that a civil rights investigation?
BLANCHE: I didn’t say it was always the case. I said it’s the same thing that we said as of last Sunday, with respect to last weekend.
There are thousands, unfortunately, of law enforcement events every year where somebody is shot. The civil rights division of the Department of Justice does not investigate every one of those shootings. There has to be circumstances or facts, or maybe unknown facts, but certainly circumstances that warrant an investigation.
So when we talked about, when I talked about last weekend, and when others have talked about this week, the fact that President Trump has said repeatedly, of course, this is something we’re going to investigate.
