Walz accuses Trump administration of spinning 'nonsense and lies' about shooting​

Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, is delivering a blistering speech against the federal government’s anti-immigration surge into Minneapolis, that has been going on for several weeks now.

Less than six hours after a federal agent shot a man dead today, Walz accused the Trump administration of spinning an account of the shooting that “is nonsense and it’s lies”.

He has been saying, since local resident Renee Good was shot dead by ICE on 7 January that federal personnel were creating a less safe situation on the ground in Minneapolis, not more safe.

Walz just said, abstractly addressing the Trump administration: “You ask for peace, we give it – and we get shot in the face on the streets, coming out of a doughnut shop.”

If the National Guard is there to usher ICE out, that would be the only good use of their time and energy. MN citizens aren't the problem.

I think he has to bring in the National Guard, before Trump erratically decides it is an insurrection and declares martial law.

Border Patrol Union expresses 'full confidence' in agents using 'justifiable force'​

The Border Patrol Union says it has "full confidence that when more facts are revealed, our agents and officers will be shown to have utilized justifiable force in eliminating the threat".

In a post on social media, it says "Border Patrol agents are trained extremely well to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and innocent third parties".

The statement adds that when a protester brings a weapon with them, "there are going to be severe consequences and repercussions".

It's legal with a permit to open carry in Minnesota. Just because he was carrying a gun, doesn't mean it was out and he was threatening someone with it.

MOO

I can hear at least 10 shots in this video, possibly 12 since there’s a lot at the end that kind of makes it hard to count. 10 shots directly into a man as he’s laying on the ground.

The video shows what looks like an execution by a group of ICE agents.

My opinion.

The statement adds that when a protester brings a weapon with them, "there are going to be severe consequences and repercussions".

Or ... "when an American citizen carries their lawful weapon on their person, they will be shot and killed."

And where are the witnesses?

You mean the ICE agents who left the scene not in proper condition for Minneapolis police to examine and secure?

Hopefully, they're there to protect MN residents from the brutality of ICE.

Hopefully, they're there to protect MN residents from the brutality of ICE.

I sincerely hope so.

Hopefully, they're there to protect MN residents from the brutality of ICE.

If ICE left, as the state has asked them to do, that would protect residents from the violence the agents brought to Minnesota.

Opinion, mine.

Presser upcoming from Minnesota BCA (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension).

 

[SouthAussie]

Sure, and ICE agents who have next to 0 training and a ton of anger storming the streets with a God complex and weapons they barely know how to use can also kill citizens in cold blood.

I know what my money is on.

MOO.

This guy, like the ICE person who killed Renee Good, is a longer-term CBP person. Which says to me that the shooter knew exactly what he was doing.

Officer who fatally shot Minneapolis man during protest is an 8-year Border Patrol veteran, federal officials say​
