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.

@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?

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

@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.

@alex_p_roe @wdlindsy

Then we know where this will be going, terribly wrong...

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

This will not end well...

"He [i.e., the federal agent doing the killing] emptied a clip into this guy who was lying on the ground already. I mean, it was just absolutely horrific, and I caution people against watching the video without being emotionally, you know, kind of prepared for it."

"In graphic video now circulating on social media, six federal agents appear to wrestle the man to the ground in front of the New American Development Center. One of the agents hits the man three times with what appears to be a firearm."

"Bystanders are surrounding the group and filming on their cell phones.

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."

"The Trump regime has murdered another citizen. And now they’re lying about it. The cover-up is in full swing. But we have the footage. From multiple angles. We’ve heard from multiple witnesses. And we have cameras on the ground, thanks to our partners at Status Coup."

@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.
