There's a new video of a new ICE shooting in Minneapolis, it'll be easy enough to find/hard enough to avoid.
There's a new video of a new ICE shooting in Minneapolis, it'll be easy enough to find/hard enough to avoid.
It's disturbing on multiple levels, the first being merely for what it shows--multiple ICE "officers" surrounding a man who had been recording them on his phone (I included his photo from one of the videos), dragging him toward the ground, and pummeling him. One "officer" grabs what appears to be possibly a gun from the man's belt and runs toward the camera. A moment later, multiple shots are fired (it's difficult from the video to make out exactly who shot him first, but there appears to be at least two shooters), and the man is dead on the sidewalk.
At no point in the video is there any indication that the man posed a threat to the "officers," especially given that multiple "officers" were enaging with the man.
I think they're going to make a lot of the "fact" that the man was supposedly armed (a fact I'm hardly conceding b/c the DHS has been thoroughly dishonest and unaccountable), but concealed and even open carry isn't illegal in MN. Regardless, the man does not appear to have posed any danger. And again, to the extent a gun was removed from the man (which the video suggests may be the case), the shots were fired *after* he was disarmed.
Every element here adds up to murder, and I can only hope that these thugs, who reportedly tried to intimidate witnesses immediately after, will be held accountable.
ICE needs to be dissolved completely, it's basically a terrorist organization acting under color of law. They don't need "better training," either, they need to find jobs where they can't kill people through their malevolence.
