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.
Right?! Why the fuck weren't the agents blocking the investigation arrested for obstruction of justice?! What the hell is going on?
How little attention do you pay to things?
This is a new world order. They stole the election and killed the western world order from ww2. Replaced it with a bunch of con rapist rapist pedophile fascist traitors on task to destroy America.
Like come on. We are being occupied. They declared war on us in July 2024.
See this is why I fucking hate democrats. How they don’t get the message that they literally fucking declared war on everyone they say isn’t them is proof dems are a failure.
Rule of law has eroded in the USA. Death by a thousand cuts.
Signed warrants. Jurisdiction. This means nothing to this administration.
If ICE thugs won't get punished for the 2nd time, I'd expect a 3rd one
Im guessing that this is going to escalate until either martial law or ICE leave MN.
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.
Couple of weeks? I'm betting the end of the weekend.
There are going to be betting pools on who future victims will be, and someone will win big.
The US is fucked. 😞
I mean someone already bet that Maduro would fall and won big so honestly I'm not even surprised. Though they most likely had inside info.
And a fourth. And a fifth. And then world war 3.
And who are the national guard going to be guarding here?
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.
The hierarchy means little if the common soldiers agree and band together. They're the ones with the guns.

Not the soldiers, their commanders. Soldiers won't be able to coordinate much beyond the scope of their platoon, maybe across a company. A rogue force of company size does not a rebellion make.
So unless a battalion command gets together and decides to rebel, it'll be on too small of a scale to make anything but a tactical difference. And the soldiers knows this, and they know that they'll be severely punished. I don't know the Minnesota national guard laws and regulations, but I suspect that soldiers helping ICE kill Minnesotans, could be facing a firing squad or the gallows.
So no, I wouldn't be afraid of having the national guard protect Minnesotans under the command of Tim Waltz, who himself was a command sergeant major in the army national guard.
What would be scary would be having the national guard federalised, something we've seen Trump do with the same enthusiasm as raping 12 year olds. And if army commanders goes against Trump, then there'd be a real civil war, when national guard units from the Dakotas, Iowa and Michigan are federalised.
in legal battle
Like they give a fuck about the law.
I mean the systems they are using mostly do, so the law is still important.
Asking the important questions
Here's a multi angle link that's being updated regularly as new video comes in.

holy shit, thank you for sharing that.
You're welcome.
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:~~
EDIT: I have been unable to confirm this last claim, or that the image search results below are real. The source of the search results image is this Threads post.
It does seem the gun was not in his possession when he was shot: https://imgur.com/a/ice-taking-victims-holstered-gun-before-shooting-started-NtnH5Hv
That 5 days ago link is just a weekly discussion thread that was made 5 days ago. The gun image was posted in the thread after the shooting.
Thanks. Yes, I'm starting to think this is a red herring so I updated my comment above.
We all may feel some impulse to act, even violently, but have a great feeling of uncertainty because there are no leaders. We need direction based off of game theory, or something. We need strategies that are surgical, because be real — we are outgunned. Yes, there are gun owners on the left, but come on, you know who has the lion’s share. Not only that, but we are different in that we hesitate to harm, because it’s the last thing we want. My dad kills animals for pleasure, but I do not. Also, if you aren’t armed now, you better do so immediately, because the gun nuts are not going to blink an eye when we are inevitably denied access.
We need real strategy. Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.
Are there organizations or groups that do this? They would have to do it in secret, so how could we know? So it seems we’d have to assume we couldn’t know and form our own? Honestly, please clue me in!
Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.
If you're proposing what I think you are, it's sounds like something we tried in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Our lesson was that this tactic won't solve a systemic problem, at least in isolation. Action without a surrounding social movement is lost. Just ask Luigi - despite the widespread bipartisan approval of their action, there weren't many copycats nor long-term changes in our conditions. And, if you saw much of other Lemmy instances at the time of that event, you may have seen various people denouncing it as 'adventurism', despite how cathartic it was.
So, many of the socialist organizations aim to develop the surrounding movement needed to cause systemic change.
The guard was activated to assist police. UsA is cooked
And the police are more concerned with protests and property than enforcing the law against lawless invaders.
National Guard Activated FINALLY to HELP the ~~Protesters~~ ICE!
My only question: will this administration federalize Minnesota national guard?
The "State's Rights" crowd is gonna love it. Unironically.
They’ve always been the parrot cuck crowd
And if so, will they listen?
It looked like an execution to me, I believe the world will see it that way within a couple days as well.
This looks like the way a civil war begins.
