Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said during a news conference that federal officers blocked his agency from the shooting scene, and when they returned with a signed judicial warrant, they were still blocked.

And then, despite having the police and national guard available to secure a crime scene from the murderers themselves, they threw up their hands and tutted disapprovingly.

Trump shared images of the gun that immigration officials said was recovered and said: “What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers?”

Note that these are the same Republicans who have lectured us for decades about people's right to carry guns legally.

Also, the image they circulated seems to have been on the internet for a while. It's not this man's gun:

And who are the national guard going to be guarding here?

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 1 points 5 minutes ago

Whoever they are ordered to, they don't get to decide. And history is shown repeatedly that the united states president always wins when in legal battle with a governor starts.

Asking the important questions

If ICE thugs won't get punished for the 2nd time, I'd expect a 3rd one

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Im guessing that this is going to escalate until either martial law or ICE leave MN.

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 29 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, ICE ain’t leaving. TACO has no force compelling him to do so.

I’d bet a fiver on a 3rd killing in the next couple weeks. As soon as the first person fights back it’ll be martial law.

I really home the general strikes take off, but the movement needs leadership and direction. Fuck.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 19 points 2 hours ago

Couple of weeks? I'm betting the end of the weekend.

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 13 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The guard was activated to assist police. UsA is cooked

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 48 minutes ago

And the police are more concerned with protests and property than enforcing the law against lawless invaders.

Here's a multi angle link that's being updated regularly as new video comes in.

They decline to identify the man because he’s white.

The victim's name is Alex Pretti

Alex Pretti was a nurse and researcher who worked for the VA. He was executed for attempting to block Nazi Gestapo from assaulting/kidnapping a woman. 8 Nazis wrestled him to the ground and then shot him 11 times. The first shot appeared to go into his back.

No one should die because of ice, but there’s an extra level of hurt when it’s a person whose life is about helping others.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 47 minutes ago (1 children)

1000x more valuable to society than every agent there combined.

Seriously. Huge loss.

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 21 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

My only question: will this administration federalize Minnesota national guard?

[–] n0respect@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 minutes ago

The "State's Rights" crowd is gonna love it. Unironically.

And if so, will they listen?

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 hours ago

National Guard Activated FINALLY to HELP the ~~Protesters~~ ICE!

[–] Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Who is the person running away with the gun!? They join the huddle then walk towards camera to leave.
