Because much commentary is now being posted about the killing of a man in Minneapolis today by armed and masked federal agents, and because my previous thread about this today has grown long, I'm starting a separate thread about this now.

"I don’t have all the details yet but it appears that Trump’s goons have murdered another American in Minneapolis.
This is the third shooting involving federal agents in the city this month, including the murder of Renee Good, 37, on Jan. 7.
The person who was killed is believed to be a 37-year-old man, an American citizen who lived in Minneapolis."

"The old, wretched status quo is thrashing violently as it dies.
It’s time we grab a pillow and suffocate it to death.
Minneapolis is suffering one wave after another of brutal attacks. Children kidnapped. People beaten. Two murders that we have now witnessed with our own eyes."

@wdlindsy A city which exemplifies social justice, community and values is being targeted by Trump deliberately. He wants to destroy humane behaviour and replace it with “do as I say or else you may well die” brutality.

"And that just looked like a flat out execution. I mean, even if the man was trying to struggle, even if as early... early reports from DHS are that he had a gun.
There's just no way that he could have, with that many people on top of him, really be a threat that would justify that kind of use of force."
@wdlindsy he did have a gun, from all angles i’ve seen, he never pulled it out, an ice agent did.
Outrageous execution in broad daylight, and political violence on a level i never hoped i would witness.

@alex_p_roe @wdlindsy He's already got it. Shooting and burning are now routine here.

The MAGA death cult believes everyone with a gun is on their side (seriously). I’ve seen posts saying “the libs don’t have guns” -

@LukefromDC @wdlindsy Seems to be getting pretty darn close. I guess we’ll soon see a stand off between the national guard and the regular military. Then things could really head towards #civilwar.

Facing reality is not a strength of theirs -
"It isn’t. And if nobody pushes back, it will never stop. …
This is not a call to violence, not a push for bloodshed, and not about taking the offensive against anyone. This is about self-defense, deterrence, and preservation, plain and simple."
There are plenty of ways to sabotage ICE that don't involve gun battles in the streets. Be smart, people. Use your anger - don't let it use you.

@MissGayle @wdlindsy The goons WANT gun battles. They WANT to shoot everyone. Don't give them a reason to.

@MissGayle @wdlindsy This is why I never got an FID. I didn't want them knocking on my door with guns drawn.
Guerilla warfare is my gig, oldschool H to H.

"Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: 'I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?'"
~ Aaron Rupar
@wdlindsy Yes, how many more need to die before you ORDER YOUR CITY POLICE TO PROTECT THE CITIZENS, Mayor Frey? Or the National Guard, Governor Walz?
Or are you both too busy planning another strongly-worded protest?

"The incident was the third shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis in seventeen days, following the killing of Renée Good and the shooting of a Venezuelan man Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, and occurred amid mass protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
"An analysis by The New York Times found that several agents wrestled a man onto the sidewalk, one officer struck him with an object, and then ten shots were fired within five seconds."
