    "There is some dispute now whether that was ICE or Customs and Border Patrol, wrestling an individual to the ground. He appeared to be motionless."

    @wdlindsy I guess it's useless to as these questions these days but why are customs and border patrol agents doing enforcement in a city several hundred miles away from any border?

          @knutson_brain Oppressors often imagine they've made those they want to oppress learn a lesson, but often the lesson they've imparted turns out to be different from what they imagine: it ends up firing resistance.

              @xs4me2 @wdlindsy That’s the whole point - they won’t be investigated. Trump wants this. The provocation is deliberate and it’s intensifying.

              We all saw the mad dictator rambling in Davos, the guy is crazy. His poll numbers and below 40%

                  @xs4me2 @wdlindsy Nope. Strongly suspect Trump and his cronies want to provoke a civil war. A state with a Democratic governor has been targeted deliberately - then Trump can lie that Democrats started the war. Nobody seems to be able to stop this, alas. Republicans seem to want it.

                      Over 10 shots can be heard in the video, but it’s unclear if more than one agent fired a weapon."

                        "Open carry is legal in Minnesota. The videos I have seen do not support the idea that he was trying to shoot ICE agents.

                        We also know that ICE tried to prevent local law enforcement from securing the scene and collecting evidence. ...

                        The simple truth is that none of this would have happened if Trump had not sent thousands of out-of-control, masked agents to terrorize people in an American city."

                              @xs4me2 @wdlindsy Indeed, Trump is digging in although I suspect his health is not too good. If Trump does go to meet his maker, his replacement will be evil lying fanatic JD Vance with devil’s spawn Miller at his side. Buckle up, it’s going to be a rough ride.

                                    This is what I hear indeed... there is a bunch of criminals in the White House...

                                    They do not intend to go peacefully, Trump has shown that before...

                                    They have all the power, they want a war. They lack numbers, but they have all the strength and arguably still the support of around a third of the population. They think they can win.

                                      "Open carry is legal in Minnesota. The videos I have seen do not support the idea that he was trying to shoot ICE agents.

                                      We also know that ICE tried to prevent local law enforcement from securing the scene and collecting evidence. ...

                                      The simple truth is that none of this would have happened if Trump had not sent thousands of out-of-control, masked agents to terrorize people in an American city."

                                        @wdlindsy they've managed to find two white people called Good and Pretti. Who's next? Angelic? Perfect?

                                          "Bystander videos depict a gruesome scene in which Pretti was swarmed by a mob of agents, who shot him repeatedly. Multiple shots appeared to have been fired at him when he was already lying motionless on the ground."
