Bovino is a complete and utter nutjob who wouldn't recognize the constitution if it punched him in the face. But I don't think even he believes himself here.
Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

DHS not even trying to come up with a credible cover story at this point
Police Chief Brian O’Hara said he’s seen video of the federal agent shooting but doesn’t know “what happened prior.”
DHS says the victim "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

ICE are stopping and assaulting police officers now

What's striking to me about the memo is that breaking glass and engaging in the violent extraction of individuals who are passively resisting, pose no threat, and whose crimes they acknowledge may be minor at best is taught as protocol.
Memo leaked to me reveals shortly before the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis, homeland security was worried about officer confrontations with vehicles - foreshadowing the exact circumstances of Good's death:

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Like they did in Chicago, feds are abducting unhoused people in Minneapolis: in this instance, four members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Also as in Chicago, “homeless people… told the Minnesota Star Tribune that ICE apparently detained the four men without looking for credentials.”
The Oglala Sioux Tribe is still trying to locate four members kidnapped by ICE agents in Minneapolis last week, and many Native people in the Twin Cities have felt scared to leave the house to go to work or get groceries.
