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.

    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.

      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.

    “I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, calling the gathering an “unlawful assembly.”

    Fuck right off. The proud boys can gather in public and yell slurs and wave hate symbols that are banned in many countries, but we can’t even protest in public because there’s thugs killing innocent people?

      You have to love it when people whose frickin’ job is the law just stand there and say “unlawful” followed by a word from the bill of rights.

      I mean, we are way past that, but still fuck this guy.

      but if this is true and someone attacked a cop, being shot in the leg doesn’t seem like an unfair response

      I think that’s the crux of it…

      What’s the chance of a federal officer involved shooting where they show a reasonable reaction?

      Like, it’s not exactly common, and even when obvious murder they immediately claim it was defensive.

      It’s “boy who called wolf”, no one is going to believe them. Even if there’s video of a guy charging ICE, to say they’re not at fault in anyway is stripping all context from the situation.

        I don’t believe a single fucking word — and that’s an earned reputation.

        Fucking brown shirts.
