A person was shot by a federal law enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening after resisting arrest and “violently assaulting” an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, as the city is still reeling in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.
Frey said. “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another.”
Really, the state and city government are not fighting anyone. They are complaining to a federal government who does not give a shit about them or the people they represent. If they were actually fighting the feds we would see police siding with the people, power cut off to ICE facilities, and local arrests of federal agents who are assulting people. What they are doing is loudly complaining while doing nothing to protect people who are rightfully defending themselves and their neighbors.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun
Yup. And the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
The acceptable alternative to a dead Nazi is leaving the last one just barely alive but still beaten to a pulp, so thry can spread the word to their ilk.
Also, nice username, but also kinda ironic in this context?
Leave the body as a warning
Super ironic.
And yes, staking up the ones we have as a warning to others…perfect.
If they have ilk to spread the word to, they aren’t the last one. /pedant
Well generally you don’t kill all the Nazis in one fell swoop, sadly. So “the last” generally refers to the last person within the grouping you were exterminating at any given moment where the statement is applicable.
DO NOT BELIEVE A FUCKING WORD THIS REGIME SAYS!
THEY ARE MURDERERS!

Jackasses of all trades, really.
I need a headline stating that ICE was shot by members of the community.
The problem is that’s what they want. They wear mask because they claim people are harassing agents at home. We all know that’s bullshit, but I suspect shooting ICE is an exactly what they are hoping for.
They don’t need someone shooting ICE to do whatever they want though, they’re already doing it.
Venezuelan citizen reportedly.
It’s exceptionally fucked up that the USA basically destabilized the country…annnnddd then continues to send people there. :(
Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.
Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.
While I appreciate this. It is accurate in what the law says. It’s not really helpful beyond a point.
I think Americans need to quickly realize that their “rights” have been demoted down to the average black person. (I’d say before the civil rights movement. But really I don’t think that’s too much different given recent history).
The same lies and tactics used for decades will be used and justified on all of us now. And it will not stop there. That is just the first bar.
The same tactics and lack of due process is already escalating to the degree of how Israel treats Palestinians in the west bank (not that bad yet obviously). But there is a reason ICE is literally being trained by that genocidal state.
This is what we will experience. Fascism is just Imperialism turned inward.
So, while it is good to “know your rights” as it may for a time or a certain situation be helpful as a tactic. That is just quickly not making any difference anymore.
I really think we need more focus on forming forms of community resistance. “Your rights” are not going to save you. You need numbers and the pressure of your community that has your back. This is the time to get to know your neighbors and the people forming resistance in your community. That is where we are. The law, state, and your “rights” matter less each day.
The day is coming when they will treat some chosen Blue city like Gaza, and burn it to the ground. They’ll think it will send a message, but as usual, these Dumb Apes will send the wrong message.
Sadly, it won’t be the first time the US dropped bombs on its own citizens.
Me to DHS:
Gotta love how CNN just parrots whatever DHS says happens because they’re too lazy, stupid and afraid to do any real reporting.
Vuolentky assaulted? Did they throw another hotdog towards them?
“I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, calling the gathering an “unlawful assembly.”
Fuck right off. The proud boys can gather in public and yell slurs and wave hate symbols that are banned in many countries, but we can’t even protest in public because there’s thugs killing innocent people?
You have to love it when people whose frickin’ job is the law just stand there and say “unlawful” followed by a word from the bill of rights.
I mean, we are way past that, but still fuck this guy.

A snow shovel is an unwieldy piece of plastic on the end of a stick, not a deadly weapon. The only useful technique I can think of is as a shoving bar. And you think the Delta-force cosplayers should naturally escalate to gunfire.
Which was definitely not applied to the leg during a melee by an expert marksman like a video game. The leg is just what happened to be hit, and since the reports were of multiple shots, who knows where the other ones went in this residential neighborhood.
You know the reality was he was shoveling the snow minding his own business when Jack booted thugs ran up on him and accidentally discharged their weapon while slipping on a patch of ice.
We’re all domestic terrorists these days…
but if this is true and someone attacked a cop, being shot in the leg doesn’t seem like an unfair response
I think that’s the crux of it…
What’s the chance of a federal officer involved shooting where they show a reasonable reaction?
Like, it’s not exactly common, and even when obvious murder they immediately claim it was defensive.
It’s “boy who called wolf”, no one is going to believe them. Even if there’s video of a guy charging ICE, to say they’re not at fault in anyway is stripping all context from the situation.
I don’t believe a single fucking word — and that’s an earned reputation.
Fucking brown shirts.
If he didn’t want to be attacked with a shovel he shouldn’t have put on that uniform.
Only cowards delete comments.
Damn well I was pretty high and don’t even remember what it said lol. I probably put it on the wrong post or something
Don’t worry, he’ll be sued for every penny he’s worth. Hopefully he dies bankrupt and alone.

A man was shot in the leg Wednesday night during a federal immigration enforcement operation in north Minneapolis.
Witnesses say a series of gunshots followed a car chase and foot chase involving federal agents. The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired “defensive shots” that hit a man in the leg
These are probably those “defensive shots” that hit people in the back. Law enforcement can bend the laws of physics with their reports and testimonies.
Apparently there was a video posted and 911 call made in the same part of Minneapolis at the same time stating that people had been chasing her husband and ramming him with their car and that they shot him through the front door of his house as he ran inside to his wife and children.
Yes, defensively shooting the man running away. Of course.
I don’t mean to sound divisive, but it really seems like only one of these groups is consistently doing the shooting.
“A person was shot”. Gotta twist things into the passive voice when performing state stenography.
Complicit media. Take note. Remember authors and editors.
Yeah. That needs to change.
And then lying about why.
Hm. Maybe something should change.
