Letters of Note

@theoklept Take a breath.

@LettersOfNote Unimprovable? Unimprovable??? How about capitalize that "c" for starters?

Happy birthday to this unimprovable letter.

@LettersOfNote @LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS @SenKatieBritt @SenEricSchmitt @ICEgov That woman tried to kill the ICE agent let that sink in

I was meeting with @POTUS, @SenKatieBritt and @SenEricSchmitt in the Oval Office this afternoon when we viewed the footage of the assault on the @ICEgov officer and the eventual defensive shooting of the woman who tried to run him over. We watched the video several times with the President. I am told the officer who was struck by the vehicle is recovering in the hospital. This could have easily been prevented by complying with the officer’s command. If an officer lawfully asks you to exit a vehicle but you do not comply and then strike that officer with a vehicle, you may get shot. The takeaway for me is simple. If you try to run over a law enforcement officer with your vehicle, it is at your own peril. The ICE agents in Minneapolis were performing their duties as assigned. The level of violence and animosity toward ICE agents is unparalleled. In Minneapolis and elsewhere, they risk their lives to protect the rest of us. Every law enforcement officer has the right to protect themselves when someone tries to run them over, not only for the benefit of the officer, but for anyone who could be in harm’s way.
