ICE kills a US citizen in Minneapolis

Guns don't "go off". They are fired. Still idiocy on all parts.

Also Noem and Bovino would have worked into their narrative that Pretti ‘had shot at officers’

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.”

You’d also think the CBP guy carrying the gun away from the scene would have had some reaction visible in the video had it unexpectedly gone off in his hand.

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

[jon-nyc]

No he was filming them and he tried to help the woman they pushed to the ground who was also filming them. That got him pepper sprayed, tackled, and then shot 10 times.

Looking for an off ramp?

[Mik]

He damn well should be.

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.

[jon-nyc]

By the way that was the prosecutor who was leading the corruption case against the Somalis and had hinted that there was some government involvement or acquiescence.

First casualty?

[jon-nyc]

They're going to take her out back only for her to see a dog holding a shotgun.

[jon-nyc]

They even suspended Bovino's access to his social media account.

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.)

[Horace]

Good breakdown here.

This approach is becoming a political liability and he’s acting on it. I’ll take the W however we get it.

This has aged well..
