Call your Rep. John McGuire and tell him what you think about federal agents, law enforcement, and possibly even military members on standby to deploy in Minneapolis to shut down civic protesters. Two phone numbers for his offices are below this message. Here’s suggested wording to the McGuire staff:
“Thank you. Please tell him that as a voter in his district, I’m deeply concerned by the lack of transparency surrounding the shooting of a U.S. citizen and reports of federal agents using chemical weapons on peaceful crowds. I don’t want the US military to be deployed against those who are protesting. I expect constitutional due process and government accountability, no matter which state it’s happening in. Can you confirm this comment will be shared with his legislative team?”
ALSO:
The Justice Department’s civil rights office has refused to investigate the killing of Renee Good. It’s their job to investigate and prosecute civil rights violations (like the use of excessive force) by law enforcement officers. One thing you can do today is call the head of the office, Harmeet Dhillon, and demand a thorough and immediate investigation.
The office line is (202) 514-3847. Please leave a message if no one answers.
