Federal agent shoots man officials say assaulted officer in Minneapolis, prompting protests | CNN
www.cnn.com
For the second time in a week, a shooting involving an immigration agent sparked heated clashes in Minnesota – prompting the president to threaten to use the Insurrection Act.

A person was shot by a federal law enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening after resisting arrest and “violently assaulting” an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, as the city is still reeling in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.

    I don’t mean to sound divisive, but it really seems like only one of these groups is consistently doing the shooting.

    Gotta love how CNN just parrots whatever DHS says happens because they’re too lazy, stupid and afraid to do any real reporting.

    Let me put this into my trusty fascist translator and see what we get.

    Bleep bloop. Whhhrrrrr. Pop. Bloop bloop DING!

    An innocent person was illegally shot by fascist brownshirts for no reason other than the psychopathic joy of expressing violence on people who are temporarily morally constrained from fighting back.

    The Department of Violating the Constitution under the tacit approval of a collapsed congress, a corrupt supreme court and the oathbreaking military says the individual was begging for their life with arms raised in a defensive posture instinctually preparing himself for his anticipated state sanctioned murder.

    In the laaaand of the Naziiiii…🎵

      These are probably those “defensive shots” that hit people in the back. Law enforcement can bend the laws of physics with their reports and testimonies.

      Apparently there was a video posted and 911 call made in the same part of Minneapolis at the same time stating that people had been chasing her husband and ramming him with their car and that they shot him through the front door of his house as he ran inside to his wife and children.

        The acceptable alternative to a dead Nazi is leaving the last one just barely alive but still beaten to a pulp, so thry can spread the word to their ilk.

        Also, nice username, but also kinda ironic in this context?

            Well generally you don’t kill all the Nazis in one fell swoop, sadly. So “the last” generally refers to the last person within the grouping you were exterminating at any given moment where the statement is applicable.

    Frey said. “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another.”

    Really, the state and city government are not fighting anyone. They are complaining to a federal government who does not give a shit about them or the people they represent. If they were actually fighting the feds we would see police siding with the people, power cut off to ICE facilities, and local arrests of federal agents who are assulting people. What they are doing is loudly complaining while doing nothing to protect people who are rightfully defending themselves and their neighbors.
