First they came for the Palestinians in Gaza and I did not speak up because I don't live there

Then they came for minorities here and I did not speak up because I'm not a minority

Then they came for white activist lesbian and I did not speak up because I'm not an activist nor a lesbian

Now they came for a guy with concealed carry permit and there's no one left to speak out for me

    If this happened in any other country, we'd be talking about sanctions and "human rights concerns." After this administration, it's absurdly hard to even take any accusation by the US government seriously, and, I don't mean this in a "whataboutism," but because it's hard to not dismiss their accusations as political when they can't even take care of their own home.

    They’ve got a half dozen cop and they can’t hold down one scrawny individual? “Getting winded” is now a reason to use deadly force?

    Yeah I'm only a few blocks away, but we're out here protesting and documenting even if it is cold af. ICE are deploying gas, and there's tons of folks out here already.

    American brainworms are wild. Man in a Vietnam hat (proud of terrorizing peasants in another continent) gives an interview about how he will die to ensure everyone VOTES, and then he screams at other protesters for getting too confrontational with the pigs. What a fascinating example of the vibe-soup of American political thought

    Oh no, a bunch of the protestors are now getting on the ground with their hands up. Guys your faces will be right in the tear gas. And they will sweep in and arrest you. Stay on your feet and learn how to de-arrest, don't pre-arrest your whole protest.

    Edit: they did gas the people on the ground before they left

    Classic cop move to pull a gun and mag dump into a corpse so it looks like a firefight rather than an execution.

    ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

    The feds gassed everyone and then ran away, and now it's state troopers who are confronting the protesters, while Waltz gives press conferences about how ICE is bad and has to leave.

    Tim Walz has said police officers are outnumbered, but he could order Minnesota police to deputize citizens who want justice. Keith Ellison could argue it's the 2A right for citizens to do so and not charge anyone.

    Only two hours after Walz gave his press conference, the local pigs are gassing everyone in the streets while they're escorted by the state troopers. Lol, but sure it's numbers that stop the cops from being on the side of justice

    Not to say this in a fed way, but I'm surprised they haven't been shot yet. Aren't there tons of guns in the Midwest?

    It looks like Porkfucker #1 who opened fire first (it's hard to tell) was also trying to smash him with what looked like his gun (maybe a taser, it looks blocky) before shifting his grip and shooting. Then a SECOND cop aims and opens up immediately after

    The Republicans suddenly becoming anti 2A is not unexpected but also hilarious. They've spend literal decades running their entire messaging on being against gun control, and now they're just saying if you have a gun you're a terrorist. Something even more extreme than what any liberal position on gun control has ever been.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing chuds declare resisting arrest equivalent to terrorism and punishable by summary execution. They've probably already started.

    That was her father-in-law (her dead husband's father, who doesn't acknowledge Renee Good's wife, and plans to take her son, his grandson, because he considers the child to "be alone"). Her own father hasn't said much of anything as far as I'm aware, and her parents have hired lawyers to investigate the shooting (the same lawyers who represented George Floyd's family)

    There was that guy who went viral last week when directly asked by his son

    what if I'm at the mall or something and ICE or Delta force or something comes and kills everyone including me?

    Dad says to his face:

    Well Trump had a reason for them to be there, guess it's just wrong place wrong time, you probably shouldn't live in California or things like that could happen

    A photo of the murdered man.

    This is Alex Pretti.

    This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

    The murdered man's name is Jeffrey Pretti.

    Federal agents fatally shot a man this morning in south Minneapolis, setting off confrontations between protesters and agents at the scene. It was the second fatal shooting involving federal agents who have swarmed Minnesota as part of a massive immigration enforcement operation. The Department of Homeland Security said the man was armed with a gun and two magazines of ammunition and circulated a photo of the weapon. DHS said the agent fired in self-defense.

    Two people familiar with the incident told the Minnesota Star Tribune that the man was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37. The two people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose details of the incident. Video shows several agents wrestling the man to the ground and shooting him multiple times.
