Dear Gen. Bergman:

Another week, another (homicide) in Minneapolis.

An American citizen, held face down on the sidewalk, shot 10 times in the back by masked, unidentifiable federal agents. His crime? He tried to help a woman who was being tear-gassed. Their punishment? Reassigned to another part of the country where they are free to kill again.

And we are forced to listen to the scurrilous lies of their superiors, contrary to what we can see with our own eyes.

Where is Harry Truman, who famously said, “The buck stops here”?

And where are you? Staying silent to appease our corrupt, lying, egomaniacal, bully of a leader, who sent those thugs there in the first place, not to keep the peace, but to punish people who voted against him.

I have some advice for the good citizens of Minneapolis: Don’t stand around in sub-zero weather carrying signs. Go inside and research where there are vulnerable Republican members of Congress and do whatever you can to help their opposition in the mid-term elections.

This is not a time to stand on the sidelines, Gen. Bergman. This is a time for ex-Marines to stand up and be counted. History will remember the heroes who did and the cowards who didn’t.
