ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis
-
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.

Your thoughts mirror my own.
One thing going around (that I have not heard any confirmation of) is that his gun did accidentally discharge while the ICE agent had it in hand, and the other agents were not aware that he was disarmed. They knew he had a weapon, heard the gun go off, and responded.

Guns don't "go off". They are fired. Still idiocy on all parts.
The P320 model is widely carried by armed civilians and US law enforcement, including ICE — but has been the subject of more than 100 allegations that it has a defect that allows it to fire “uncommanded.”

Either way, from what I can tell, the whole thing about him obstructing the agents looks to be complete crap.

It would do a lot of good if this one got a real investigation and a prosecution if warranted. Which it looks like it is.

Unlikely. The head FBI agent in Minneapolis office resigned because they wanted him(?) to look more into Good and her wife than what actually happened.

Interesting.
I guess that President Trump does not have the President Truman "buck stops here" sign on his desk.
(But, in President Trumps defense, it is a rare politician who take responsibility when something goes wrong. Even if they gave the "order", some staff member is the one caught.)
