The ICE agent was wrong

The more I watch the video of the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, the clearer it becomes that the ICE agent who killed her was NOT in front of the vehicle when he killed her.

I support the goal of lower energy prices. There are two very different problems with this plan, though: First, how is this going to work if the socialist regime does not want to cooperate? Yes, we have leverage, but enough for this?!? And second, at some price, and it's probably around $50, many oil companies will simply stop drilling. That will be fine but Trump needs to be aware of the fact that as with lots of markets, "the cure for low prices is low prices."
