I wish the governor would stop hammering on the "untrained" note. Both of the murderers were 8+ year veterans of police and border patrol. They're not untrained. Rather, they have been consistently trained that a. anyone not on their side is the enemy, and b. they can murder anyone they like with no consequences.

That asshole Chauvin (the single exception to the “no consequences” rule in recent memory) was himself a police trainer. They're not untrained, they've been carefully groomed into being the new gestapo.
