Prime example is Margaret Hodge MP, who spent years roaring into cameras about the hideous political bullying and hate that she was subjected to, and then finally produced a dossier of… anonymous Twitter dorks calling her an asshole, a thing that happens to footballers and video game actors.
Honestly think it’s more that she’s the type of person who noisily Doesn’t Take Shit From Anyone, a phrase that in practice means “I hold terrifyingly intense grudges if subjected to any slight or disrespect, and I scream at waitresses who get my order wrong”.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
This is who we lost yesterday.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.
They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.
But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.
