Unmasking the masked men

ProPublica identifies the agents who killed Alex Pretti because there’s no place for secret police in America

In this short On-Target video, Steve Beschloss and I discuss the Trump regime’s dangerous push for law-enforcement secrecy. In our view, transparency is important in a democracy whether law enforcement are public servants, not our masters. This issue was at the forefront after the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, when the Trump regime refused to identify the two Border Patrol agents who shot him. But ProPublica, an important independent news outlet, discovered the names and published them.
