Bump

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

They want children in Minneapolis and beyond to understand: The state can kill, can make people disappear. It is to be feared. The message: Your existence may be marked as criminal. Dissent is criminal. It is dangerous to you and your family. Obey. Obey. And even then.

Now the cover up begins.

Another horrific ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Man wrestled to the ground by federal agents, then shot multiple times. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli... @startribune.com is there: www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification? Is this right?

This is unfortunately where we are at #ICE #Minneapolis

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

I hope every blue city mayor is paying close attention to how this shakes out & developing concrete plans to ensure ICE can’t muscle its way into investigating itself when they kill people in that jurisdiction

NEW: ICE just executed another person in Minneapolis.
