As for the Minneapolis ICE Shooting:

We just witnessed the next Kyle Rittenhouse.

The Rightwing echo chamber will justify this murder and make the ICE murderer a hero.

They are fabricating a story for cover. But fitting for a day so close to January 6th -- my lying eyes.

Saw a murder as clear as day. Shame State Sec wear masks.

There is already a bunch of video showing what happened and there is going to be a lot more coming out. Aside from the obvious murder, there is the fact that a) the ICE agent fired his weapon in the direction of a crowd of people who were standing on the other side of the street -- if he'd missed the car, he could have easily hit a bystander -- and b) after the woman died her car accelerated away at speed and was only stopped by a parked car. So the ICE agent shot a woman in a car that was moving at about 2mph, and caused it to accelerate away at high speed -- if people had been standing on that side of the street, they could easily have been killed or injured.

Nothing about this shooting did anything to protect anybody from anything -- in fact, it put more people's lives in danger. Just multiple levels of failure here.

They Should have desk jobs. I mean if you're so afraid and trigger happy, maybe you should have a desk job. But by the looks of most of these ice guys they probably can't read. Just saying.
