She then promised to expose these cowards and said, “You don’t want this smoke.”
Right-wingers are having a big reaction to this.
“Good afternoon.
I’m Rochelle Bilal, the sheriff for the city and county of Philadelphia. And I say her name: Renée Good. Renée Good. Renée Good. This shouldn’t have happened, but we’re here today,” Bilal said at a press conference.
“Let me note that law enforcement professionals, real ones, not the fake, made-up ICE that Trump probably created to attack American citizens,” she continued.
“Did you hear what I said? No real law enforcement officer wears a mask. None, none. Those who come into our communities wearing a mask to commit a crime — and thank God for our district attorney, Larry Krasner, who said he will lock them up — and I’m saying now, we are not going to take you away to hide your identity because when you do that, you get arrested there.”
“No taking you away to hide your face.
None of that here. None of that here,” she went on. “Law enforcement professionals do not shoot at moving vehicles. Not saying fleeing because she wasn’t fleeing. She was getting out of the way.”
“Law enforcement professionals do not stand in front of moving vehicles, doing something that’s illegal,” said Bilal. “
No, we don’t. And so we stand here today with all those who stand against the made-up, fake, what you can call ICE, professional law enforcement.”
“I don’t call them none of that.
I call them made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement,” she said. “Because what they do is against not only the law, but the moral law.”
“So I’m with the DA and we will work with them.
If any of them want to come into this city and commit a crime, you will not be able to hide. Nobody will take you away,” she continued.
“You don’t want this smoke because we will bring it to you,” said the sheriff.
“And the fake, whatever they call them, because I can’t say the name, but the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep you from going to jail.”
“Renée Good should be here today and to her family, we are saying law enforcement professionals are not the ones here in this city that would do that,” said Bilal.
“But here’s the last thing that I will say. Law enforcement professionals around the country do their job and we have been fighting for years to build that bridge between us and our communities.”
“You had one bad person that caused this problem and now we all have to fight again to let people know law enforcement works with communities.
These crimes would not be down if we didn’t have communities work with us. Thank you,” she concluded.
Predictably, the same right-wing extremists who celebrated the brutal murder of an innocent mother are now demanding this sheriff be fired.
Social media is full of angry Republicans calling her “incompetent” and Fox News is covering her comments obsessively. It’s time for us to show her that we support her completely. Speak out!
