Minneapolis January 7, 2026 -- Have We Finally Reached a Tipping Point?

[Noogies]

Whatever the circumstances, it sounds like a protester has been killed at the hands of a federal LEO.

Again.

K, so I saw the video. Initial impression: 5 ICE officers appear to mass on a protester, wrestle him to the ground and beat the shit out of him. Apparently, this doesn't subdue him enough so somebody shoots him.

I saw no evidence that the protester was armed in any way. Again, first impression only.

However, if this impression is borne out, you guys are fucked.

I'm afraid to say this is starting to seem like business as usual. Do you suppose that's the intended effect?

DHS says the man was "armed". Zoomed in video show one goon disarming the man, while he was on his knees facing the ground, before he was shot. Not brandishing, not threatening, not intending to "massacre ICE agents" as Bovino claims. It all started as he was recording and they tried to make him stop.

Man recording @ 1:01
Man being disarmed @ 4:31
Then he was shot. It's going to be real interesting if we ever find out, where the bullets hit his body.
Minnesotans are allowed to carry if they have a permit which Minneapolis police chief said he had. Multiple videos are coming out to debunk the criminal administration's lies.

Thanks for link. The state is reacting hard on this one. National Guard activated, and a perimeter to be put around this shooting site, though it's heavily compromised at this point. But I want ICE to get used to the idea of respecting Minnesota perimeters. There should be a lot more of them.

If you think the is something now just wait until the Repukes hit the Sunday morning news shows. Personally I'll pass because my BS meter would explode.

Just so we're clear...

My BS meter tends to give me big trouble on Sunday morning even if it's politicians I support, let alone Repukes.

Right?!

Anybody else growing weary of watching these ICE-produced snuff movies?

Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis

There must be a thorough and impartial investigation into yesterday’s Minneapolis shooting, which is the basic standard that law enforcement and the American people expect following any officer-involved shooting. For this specific incident, that requires cooperation and transparency between federal, state, and local law enforcement. Any administration official who rushes to judgment and tries to shut down an investigation before it begins are doing an incredible disservice to the nation and to President Trump’s legacy.
