A person was shot by a federal law enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening after resisting arrest and “violently assaulting” an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, as the city is still reeling in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.

I don't mean to sound divisive, but it really seems like only one of these groups is consistently doing the shooting.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 50 points 1 month ago

And then lying about why.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 month ago

"A person was shot". Gotta twist things into the passive voice when performing state stenography.

[-] Shirasho@lemmings.world 32 points 1 month ago

Just a friendly reminder that resisting arrest is not a reason to arrest somebody. That charge comes second, not first, and if that is the first charge then the police deserve any and all harm that befall them.

Citizens should legally be able to defend themselves with violence if they are being arrested or assaulted for resisting arrest.

Hey now… it’s the pedophilia that they REALLY should be known for.

Jackasses of all trades, really.

Based on ICE's previous track record...

A man was shot in the leg Wednesday night during a federal immigration enforcement operation in north Minneapolis.

Witnesses say a series of gunshots followed a car chase and foot chase involving federal agents. The Department of Homeland Security said an agent fired “defensive shots” that hit a man in the leg

These are probably those "defensive shots" that hit people in the back. Law enforcement can bend the laws of physics with their reports and testimonies.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Yup. And the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Frey said. “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another.”

Really, the state and city government are not fighting anyone. They are complaining to a federal government who does not give a shit about them or the people they represent. If they were actually fighting the feds we would see police siding with the people, power cut off to ICE facilities, and local arrests of federal agents who are assulting people. What they are doing is loudly complaining while doing nothing to protect people who are rightfully defending themselves and their neighbors.

I need a headline stating that ICE was shot by members of the community.

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago

The problem is that’s what they want. They wear mask because they claim people are harassing agents at home. We all know that’s bullshit, but I suspect shooting ICE is an exactly what they are hoping for.

[-] MBech@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

They don't need someone shooting ICE to do whatever they want though, they're already doing it.

“I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, calling the gathering an “unlawful assembly.”

Fuck right off. The proud boys can gather in public and yell slurs and wave hate symbols that are banned in many countries, but we can’t even protest in public because there’s thugs killing innocent people?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

You have to love it when people whose frickin' job is the law just stand there and say "unlawful" followed by a word from the bill of rights.

I mean, we are way past that, but still fuck this guy.
