Good, it would be about time that officials get held accountable for their decisions. Decisions that resulted in deaths.
In several of her tweets this is how the mayor has responded:
I firmly believe that HER decision was political. She wanted the chaos to harm Trump. She wanted no help and to run her own city. She mocked rather than allow help or to put an end to the violence.
