ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis

What I worry about is that, as it gets more and more apparent that there’s no realistic scenario where the administration won’t protect them, how lawless will they get?

This is the second shot, but you can see the casing flying through the air on the left. I think this is the guy who took the first shot, too. Yes shooting in the back, he’s on his knees.

Still, I guess I have assign some blame for the idiot going to a protest strapped.

[89th]

Very true.

[jodi]

Yes. He was an idiot. Why anyone thinks going to a protest with a gun is a good idea is beyond me. But none of this should be happening. This is the asshole in charge’s fault.

This one is an execution - there's a video of an ICE officer applauding the execution.

said in ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis:

There used to be second amendment types that would argue that carrying a weapon was not a reason in itself for cops to tackle you, let alone shoot you. I’m not sure if any of those guys are still around.

Sounds like there’s a few just not in the GOP.

He was an ICU nurse.

Pretty good summary here.

[jon-nyc]

Read the thread.

Apparently he deleted the tweet.

Good grief

Why did this man go armed to a peaceful protest?
Why did he not simply do as directed and get off the public road? Why not even after pepper sprayed by an officer?
Actively interfering with law officers' duties.
Why did he not simply comply with law officers instructions?

Why did he continue to resist arrest by multiple officers, even when restraining him on the ground?
Why did he(attempt to) stand up?

Why did the officers not give him an extra second to get back on the pavement?
I cannot hear, but why did so many officers suddenly rush to the spot.
Why when his gun was removed were the other officers not clearly informed?
Why did he attempt to stand(continue resisting), why was he shot in the back by an officer when attempting to stand?

Clearly not a defensive shot, the officer needs to go on trial.
The incompetence of the law officers beggers belief. To talk and de-escalate; and to restrain efficiently.
The stupidity of the man also.

So many questions, clearly neither public nor law officers have learnt much from the previous incident.

Someone made a good point. If DHS and ICE really thought these killings were justified, they wouldn’t be doing everything in their power to stop normal-course investigations from taking place.
