Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the city has only had three homicides so far this year. “Two of them were ICE," he added.

“The relief we are asking for is stopping this Operation Metro Surge” immediately, he said.

Fuck the tone and language policing pseudo-intellectual pedants who paved the road for fascism with their “don’t call them fascists” bullshit.

They were fascists then and they sure as hell are fascists now.

Walz criticized the narrative put out by the federal government about the shooting.

“Thank God we have video,” Walz said. “Because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them, or something.”

The Department of Homeland Security said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him.

At least five of the ten shots were fired into his dead corpse. This was an execution following a brutal and bodged arrest.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."
