Dave Matthews says he doesn’t need “my taxes to pay for ICE, to masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities and rip households aside.”
The singer-songwriter shared an impassioned rebuke of ICE and the Trump administration following the deadly capturing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this previous week. “We ought to be caring for one another. We ought to be minding one another. We ought to be housing the homeless. We shouldn’t be, you recognize, throwing individuals to the bottom,” the Dave Matthews Band frontman mentioned in a video posted to Instagram on Friday.
“Which brings me to Renee Nicole Good. Murdered in entrance of her fellow residents in Minneapolis, murdered within the streets. And it doesn’t matter what narrative this administration is attempting to promote us, we will see the movies,” Matthews continued. “Perhaps in the event that they present you one they usually sluggish it down they usually let you know the place to look, you would possibly assume, perhaps there’s an opportunity, perhaps there’s an opportunity. That the gunman was felt threatened. However from most angles, close to and much, it appears like she was attempting to get away, and he shot her thrice within the head, murdered in chilly blood.”

“This administration, these people who find themselves attempting to inform us to not imagine what we see,” Matthews continued. “It’s so horrific. I don’t perceive how one can declare that [Good] was ramming their vehicles, or that she was attacking them. There’s nothing to recommend that. And it’s mind-boggling and it’s deeply upsetting. To me and to so many individuals, and we will’t simply let it slide.”
