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.
-
"Open carry is legal in Minnesota. The videos I have seen do not support the idea that he was trying to shoot ICE agents.
We also know that ICE tried to prevent local law enforcement from securing the scene and collecting evidence. ...
The simple truth is that none of this would have happened if Trump had not sent thousands of out-of-control, masked agents to terrorize people in an American city."

"Zeteo spoke with two doctors who knew the victim to shed light on the man whom federal agents senselessly killed on Saturday.
'He was just a super nice guy, a super capable nurse,' Dimitri Drekonja, a doctor who knew and worked alongside Pretti, told Zeteo. 'And we are in a worse place for him being killed.'”

@wdlindsy they've managed to find two white people called Good and Pretti. Who's next? Angelic? Perfect?
-
@wdlindsy The video recorded by the woman in pink has meanwhile been published.
@deadinside Yes — thanks to @RainbowFrog for linking it in this thread.

Dr. Aasma Shaukat, who co-led the trial with Drekonja, echoed the sentiment. 'He was just so sincere and very kind, just a sweet young man and eager to learn,' she told Zeteo."

It is really unbelievable to be witnessing this evil thug and his helpers, I feel like I am in a remake of the 1930s... surreal...

History shows that tyranny will never win, it is what the USA were built on. To be free from tyranny. Let us hope for the best and that truth and law will prevail

Republicans hate Americans because they hate America. -
Warning that video footage of this killing is graphic and disturbing, Prem Thakker and Asawin Suebsaeng say,
"A swarm of agents mob an individual, pushing him to the ground. After the person is surrounded, agents then shoot him multiple times. The shots appear to continue as the individual lies motionless on the ground."

I feel like ICE is under orders to create the most egregiously disturbing media to provoke a violent response, so that Trump can invoke the insurrection act, and send in the military.
Trump wants a civil war.

@Edelruth @wdlindsy though I'm not truly happy, it's good to hear other voices finally realizing the shit show that's been launched against the USA. It's why Trump blocked the bipartisan immigration bill that was going to be passed if it was placed on Biden's desk in 2024. It helped him win the election.

/30@wdlindsy I normally would never share something from commercial social media, but I can't find another source. The slowed down video clearly shows an agent remove the victim's firearm from the holster and then walk away with it, then they opened fire. It's the same gun that dhs paraded out to day he was threatening them with a firearm.
He disarmed the victim, then called out "gun", then they opened fire. In that order. This was an execution.
I can only surmise that they were looking for such an opportunity, in order to say that they were attacked by a gun toting lunatic. This could be it. If cooler heads don't prevail, if there's anything resembling rioting, you know what comes next.

@xs4me2 @MostlyTato @wdlindsy Hope so but the road ahead is looking distinctly bumpy. The law no longer seems to count for much. While tyranny does tend to fail, it can last many years. The US was built by people escaping oppression. Will it accept being oppressed?

They think they can win.@MostlyTato @xs4me2 @wdlindsy What’s not clear is where the military stand. Seems Trump has put is own people in top positions but will that be enough? Will the US military fire on US citizens? I guess we’re getting close to finding out.

/31"Again we have an ICE killing in which the Department of Homeland Security gets a story out first which, on its face, appears to describe an armed civilian in the process of committing a massacre of federal law enforcement officers. …
As now happens 100% of the time, these early DHS narratives are willfully absurd and don’t survive contact with abundant video evidence emerging from the scene."
