In the recent past, police shootings have been scrutinized in the US. The Trump Administration seems to be breaking from that tradition.

Across the US, if local police shoot someone, it is taken seriously and there are investigations. When ICE shoots someone, such as the Good case in Minneapolis, the Trump Administration plans no investigation, it's immediately justified and the administration doesn't take it that seriously.

While I normally sympathize with most local police who have a difficult job, it is important that political leaders scrutinize their work. It seems like, with the corrupt Trump Administration, scrutiny isn't done. It's a vey different situation than how things were dealt with in the recent past, such as in the George Floyd case where there was scrutiny which lead to those officers being found guilty.

Now, at least at the federal level, it seems like scrutiny isn't a priority anymore.
