Because much commentary is now being posted about the killing of a man in Minneapolis today by armed and masked federal agents, and because my previous thread about this today has grown long, I'm starting a separate thread about this now.

"And that just looked like a flat out execution. I mean, even if the man was trying to struggle, even if as early... early reports from DHS are that he had a gun.
There's just no way that he could have, with that many people on top of him, really be a threat that would justify that kind of use of force."

"The old, wretched status quo is thrashing violently as it dies.
It’s time we grab a pillow and suffocate it to death.
Minneapolis is suffering one wave after another of brutal attacks. Children kidnapped. People beaten. Two murders that we have now witnessed with our own eyes."

The MAGA death cult believes everyone with a gun is on their side (seriously). I’ve seen posts saying “the libs don’t have guns” -
@alex_p_roe @wdlindsy He's already got it. Shooting and burning are now routine here.

Facing reality is not a strength of theirs -
"It isn’t. And if nobody pushes back, it will never stop. …
This is not a call to violence, not a push for bloodshed, and not about taking the offensive against anyone. This is about self-defense, deterrence, and preservation, plain and simple."
There are plenty of ways to sabotage ICE that don't involve gun battles in the streets. Be smart, people. Use your anger - don't let it use you.

"Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: 'I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?'"
