Washington (USA), Jan. 27 (LaPresse) – “What happened in Minneapolis over the past month betrays our core values as Americans. We are not a nation that kills its own citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows its own citizens to be treated brutally for having exercised their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples on the Fourth Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized.” This was written on X by former U.S. President Joe Biden. “The people of Minnesota have stood strong, helping members of the community in unimaginable circumstances, denouncing injustices when they saw them and holding our government accountable for its actions. The citizens of Minnesota reminded us what it means to be Americans and have suffered enough at the hands of this administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when our own government targets American citizens,” the former Democratic president added. And again: “No one can destroy what America represents and believes in, not even a president, if we, all of America, rise up and raise our voices. We know who we are. It’s time to show it to the world. But above all, it’s time to show it to ourselves.” “Now, justice demands complete, fair and transparent investigations into the deaths of the two Americans who lost their lives in the city they called home. Jill and I send strength to the families and communities who love Alex Pretti and Renée Good, while we all mourn their senseless deaths,” Biden concluded.
