1. Fucking blood thirsty jackals.

3. That's fucked up...

In every way.

[in2herbs]

41. This video should be thrown in the face of the Eighth Circuit that told ICE it was OK to break down the doors of

citizens w/o a judicial warrant and ask them if they had intended to include murder in their decision!!!

[Jim__]

4. When is enough enough? The American people need to put a stop to this.

[JustAnotherGen]

6. I understand

That even though Minnesota is heavily armed . . . Minneapolis is not.

When they do this in a stand your ground state - that's when it ends.

ETA - I'm personally over the 'they will enact martial law'.

Minneapolis is already there. My 16 year old 3/4 Latina niece is going to school with her passport. If that's happening? We are already there.

20. +1 They're avoiding Stand Your Ground states

TX and FL have gazillions more potentially "undocumented" immigrants than MN or ME

7. Fucking hell, here we go again.

Looks like there were 4 or 5 ICE agents wrestling the guy to the ground, then one of them shot him.

That stretch of Nicollet Ave. is called "Eat Street" because it's several blocks of small, mostly ethnic restaurants and coffee shops where a lot of immigrants would be working.

[NickB79]

10. TWO agents shot him

You can see a second guy draw and fire down as well 🤦

[yellow dahlia]

31. Apparently, the video was taken by an employee inside a coffee shop, across the street.

I'm spitting angry and crying.

[EarlG]

8. Just watched the video. That's bad. Really bad

There's one guy on the ground with a number of ICE agents trying to restrain him. There's a gunshot, and all the ICE agents back away. After they do so, another ICE agent pumps several bullets into the guy's body as he lies motionless on the ground, from about six feet away.

Looks like a straight up execution.

Edited to add, after watching it again it sounded like one gunshot, after which they all back away, then an additional 11 gunshots as he was lying on the ground.

[Hugin]

16. Eleven gunshots...

Overkill.

[Sympthsical]

28. I watched the video about a dozen times

And it looks like the agent kneeling on the left pulls from his right hip then points his arm forward before the first bang. His right arm and shoulder jerk back with the bang. Then they all back away.

So it currently appears that agent fired the first shot they all backed away from.

Then they just went to town.

[yellow dahlia]

37. The jackboots are trying to say he was going for one of the guns. I saw someone trying to wriggle away.

He was trying to push against the guys holding him and escape, from what I could see.

Execution - yes.

Untrained punks have been given guns.

[James48]

9. I am seeing reports that he died- can anybody confirm?

And the report I heard was he was just citizen videotaping, and was shot multiple times.

I can’t get confirmation and I have NOT seen any video myself.

[EarlG]

12. Video is at the Reddit link above

and on the Star Tribune site here:

I'm not sure if it's been confirmed that he died. He was taken to hospital. From the number of gunshots it sounds like he was shot 12 times in total.

Edited to add: Tim Walz just confirmed that the man who was shot has died, per MS NOW.

[underpants]

13. Twitter too.

[dflprincess]

29. It has been confirmed by the chief of police. Nt

[indigoth]

11. This

Is about six blocks from me. These nazis must be stopped.

[democrank]

46. Stay safe, indigoth.

[bluestarone]

14. So, after reading this, i'm thinking here, is their new plan to

have 12 or 13 scumbags shoot to kill, so nobody can be charged with murder?

[OGBuzz]

19. I'm sure they planted a gun or a knife...

so that the MAGAt propagandists will have their talking points.

[yellow dahlia]

38. Of course they diid.

[Diraven]

49. Reportedly

According to people who have seen videos that I have nor seen yer, he had a holstered gun that the ICE thugs they took away from him before they shot him. According to the DHS, he drew his gun on the agents and they were forced to shoot him in self defense. From what I can make out on the video, one of the agents was pistol whipping him and that gun went off accidentally so a couple other agents freaked out and unloaded their weapons into him while he was laying on the ground.

[paleotn]

33. Accessories. Charge them all.

Better yet. No need for courts.

[bluestarone]

40. Agree. One thing for sure here

If we (TRUE Americans) don't get a handle on this, WE will be screwed!! I do not have the answers, but somebody better come up with them!!!!

[JokeHer]

57. We're heading towards a 2nd civil war

F*CK ICE!!!!!!

[RetiredParatrooper]

15. This is the end result of no holding these people to account

Schumer and Jeffries have anything to say yet?

[Johnny2X2X]

17. Horrific

They’re going to claim he grabbed someone’s gun. Count on that.

This was murder. These people are monsters and I don’t know what will stop them.

[OGBuzz]

24. 3%ers, Proud Boys, and pardoned J6 insurrectionists.

This is what they dreamed of when they chanted 'fight for Trump'

[orangecrush]

18. He was on the ground

They were beating the shit out of him and then shot him multiple times.

[PatSeg]

22. One account said an agent

was beating him in the head with a gun before he was shot.

[orangecrush]

25. Can see that in the video.

And still they aren't getting arrested.

[yellow dahlia]

39. Ah. Perhaps the gun went off.

I wonder if we will ever get the right info.

[PatSeg]

47. Hopefully more videos will surface

There was the woman on the sidewalk who was taking video just a couple yards from the incident.

[yellow dahlia]

50. Someone mentioned a woman in pink.

I hope someone (trustworthy) has the video.

[PatSeg]

52. Yes, that woman

Also, I hope she is safe from the goons.

[dflprincess]

21. Local news reporting that more ICE agents arriving on the scene

Complaints from local authorities that they are making it impossible to secure the scene.

Looks like ICE is doing all they can to escalate the situation.

[orangecrush]

26. They are moving on the protesters

[orangecrush]

27. Open season in Democratic cities

[Duncanpup]

30. FUCKERS.

[progressoid]

32. Shot?

More like murdered.

[MLWR]

34. Trump's Gestapo is made up of NAZI THUGS.

[LuvLoogie]

35. They just need a little more billions for better training.

Dems need new leadership.

[Efilroft Sul]

36. This is the shit or get off the pot moment for Walz. It was coming sooner or later.

[muriel_volestrangler]

44. For him to do what?

To say, via metaphor, that he has to do something, without giving us a clue as to what you think that something is, is unhelpful. I hope you do actually have an idea, rather than just saying "this is Walz's problem".

[Efilroft Sul]

48. Force the issue. Deploy in the guard to protect the people in the streets. Demand ICE to stand down or leave. Lead.

Learned helplessness is what's unhelpful now.

[infullview]

53. Exactly.

National guard should be shadowing ICE fuckers and film every move they make. Document for future legal action. Also, make new laws requiring no masks be allowed etc..

[muriel_volestrangler]

54. "Demand" means nothing here. The fascists are intent on seizing people with violence

so they'll continue to do so while physically able. "Deploy the guard" is a meaningful suggestion; I presume you mean "to arrest the ICE/CBP/etc. people when they make unlawful arrests/home invasions". The question of what use of force against ICE will be wise is a more complicated one than a simplistic urging to "shit or get off the pot" says.

[Efilroft Sul]

55. I can be a lot more specific about what should be done, and someone would alert. So let's leave it at that.

[SunSeeker]

42. OMFG. Another straight up murder by ICE! The video is horrific.

Looks like they were beating him to to death, with one of the agents clearly using a gun to beat the guy in the head with it. Then one of their guns discharged, maybe the idiot who was using his gun like a brass knuckle.

Looks like when one of the agent’s guns discharged, that spooked the rest and they ran off from the immediately limp body. Apparently then one of them got the bright idea to then make sure the guy was dead by filling his body with bullets. This is one of the sickest things I have ever seen.

Like Rodney King, but they shot the guy in addition to beating him.

[HipChick]

51. Execution in broad daylight

[sarisataka]

43. Two agents were standing there pumping rounds into the victim, who is laying still on the sidewalk

I wonder if they will have internal bleeding too?

[Maine Abu El Banat]

45. Imagine what sick spin they will put on this.

[Buckeyeblue]

56. Waltz needs to order local and state police force to protect citizens from ICE

People can protest all they want but they can't defend themselves against the illegal actions of ICE. We need the state to protect its citizens.

All of the ICE agents on the scene should be arrested for murder. If I'm committing a crime with someone else and they kill someone, I'm also guilty of murder. Every ICE thug on the scene is guilty of murder.
