It comes as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that all immigration officials in Minnesota would be fitted with body-worn cameras

You’re fucking joking. NOW? After the guy was killed for holding a phone? “Oh I guess maybe they should have body cameras.”

We’ve known that these shitty assholes needed cameras as much or more than the police. But they didn’t care until now.

Kristi Noem is subhuman. Unconscionable.

Body cams haven't prevented those assholes from assholish behavior either... how bout they just get the fuck out of an area they just aggravated further with another murder? And also jail the ones who did murder individuals. I'll let someone else hold their breath for shit that matters to happen... never before in my life have I armed myself in public til recently.
