State governor Tim Walz said he had spoken to the White House about the incident.
Fuck the Whitehouse. Deploy the National Guard to get ICE out of town, Tim.
I’m sure they’ve taken Tim’s stern criticism on board and will begin withdrawing ICE from the state any day now.
It’s a game of chicken. Whomever blinks first loses and starts a further escalation.
Always the passive voice. Even international media is apparently scared to say what we all see clearly from multiple angles on video: ICE grabbed him, wrestled him to the ground, beat him, held him still and unloaded about 10 rounds into him at point blank range.
Whoa whoa whoa. You’re missing the most important inflammatory point. He approached them “with a 9mm handgun ^being legally carried and holstered like a responsible gun owner and it had been removed from his possession prior to
his murderdefensive shots^”.
I bet those Democrats who voted for full funding for this public execution are proud and we should call them up and congratulate them on directly causing another murder of an American citizen.
Representatives Henry Cuellar (Texas), Tom Suozzi (New York), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (New York), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Jared Golden (Maine), and Don Davis (North Carolina).
I will never understand how we can push the second amendment so hard, and then use having a gun as an excuse to kill civilians. Furthermore, I will never understand how the 2A crowd will then also use that excuse as a justifiable reason for someone to be killed by law enforcement.
“No, bro, the way I carry MY gun is totally different. He wasn’t doing it right.”
California started restricting guns when the Black Panthers started exercising their 2A rights…
Reagan did that. It’s always been the right wing nuts who control what others do.
Systemic white supremacy
The people who pushed the 2a are in ICE though. “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.”
“The only moral ___ is my ___” is a template applied to many things by right-wingers. Abortion, gun, healthcare, insurrection…
This was done one purpose to instill fear of protesting.
Pretty sure “a gunshot is heard and then several more are fired. The man then falls still.” is inaccurate. Video shows the man fell still at the first shot. Which means all the others were overkill.
And they’re pretending that he was brandishing the gun/had it illegally. Just came out that he had a permit to carry.
That was an execution.
I watched the video but I cannot tell which agent shot the guy
The first one was overkill.
The man was on the ground already when the first shot happened. I call total bullshit on the narrative DHS and ICE are trying to cook up.
