So I'm just sort of wondering how you in the DOJ are viewing whether your colleagues may have gone too far.

after with all due respect with all due respect sir my question is more pointed do you believe your colleagues may have gone farther you are an attorney a doj 18 us code 2331 it has a legal definition of domestic terrorism and it doesn't appear to most of the country that have watched the available video and we'll see if there's body cam video i'd love to know if that's going to come out if there was such a thing but it does not appear to have met that definition of domestic terrorism so i'm just sort of wondering

how you in the DOJ are viewing whether your colleagues may have gone too far.

Why?

In one city, in one place, do we have these problems?

We deport 10 times the number of illegal aliens out of Texas than we do out of Minneapolis.

Why do we hear nothing?

out of Texas about any of the same problems that we have in Minneapolis.

I'll tell you why.

Because in Texas, we have the cooperation and support of local law enforcement so that we can do these operations safely, keeping US citizens and others protected and safe.

That is not what we have in Minneapolis.

And the fact that it's the administration that's being blamed for the utter failure

of leadership in Minneapolis is not right.

It's not appropriate.

But he brought a gun.

You're saying he wasn't protesting peacefully and yet the video before shows him holding up a cell phone, directing traffic.

The video after shows him being pummeled by these law enforcement.

Everyone has now seen this video across the country.

with this man holding up a cell phone.

And part of the outrage that people are expressing is that they feel as though the federal government is asking them to believe something that they don't see with their own two eyes.
