Statement summary

Rep. Janelle Bynum called the shooting state-sponsored terrorism and said it was not law enforcement. She said it was the second shooting that week by agents following the orders of a "wannabe dictator," and that she wants the agents gone.

“This isn’t law enforcement, it’s state-sponsored terrorism Stop fucking with us. This is the second shooting this week by agents following the orders of a wannabe dictator who is trying to take over cities and rule by instilling terror in the hearts of American people. When the President deployed his guardsmen to our city earlier this year, we told him their presence was unwelcome and unhelpful. Today, we saw just how dangerous this is – we need these goons gone. Get to steppin’.”
