#Minnesota governor #TimWalz expressed doubt that a “fair outcome” will be achieved following the killing of #ReneeNicoleMacklinGood by a federal immigration agent in a press briefing today.

The Minnesota #BureauofCriminalApprehension (BCA) announced that it would be withdrawing from the #investigation into the fatal shooting after #federalauthorities blocked BCA from accessing #evidence and materials from the case.

“Now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation, it feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome,” Walz said. “And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment, from the president to the vice president to #KristiNoem have stood and told you things that are verifiably #false, verifiably #inaccurate. They have determined the character of a 37-year-old mom that they didn’t even know.”

He went on to say that Noem had assumed the role of “judge, jury and basically #executioner yesterday.”

"It's almost like stealing people's data and giving it to hyper-intelligent AI as part of an unregulated tech monopoly was a bad thing."

While technically ridiculously inaccurate bullshit this #movie is still #hilarious. And full of references to tech and pop culture that it becomes a sport to catch them all f̶u̶r̶b̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶o̶n̶e̶?̶

It's called The Mitchells vs The Machines, it's older but I only saw it today

Ah, yes, another ☕️ "comprehensive" dive into robotics history that admits upfront it's #inaccurate. 🤖 Why let facts get in the way of a good tale when you can just slap on a trendy title and call it a day? 📰
