Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.

A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.

The officers appeared to scatter after the barrage of shots went off, according to the footage.



The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post, sharing a photo of the firearm.

In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.


“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.

More than 100 protesters had been at the scene when the encounter occurred. The man’s condition was not immediately known.





On Friday, protesters yelled obscenities at two people wearing plain clothes who they believed to be agents after protesters claimed their rental car was linked to the incident, according to video reviewed by The Post.

Neither person was an officer.



Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) posted about the incident on X late morning Saturday as the details of the shooting were still unfolding.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” he wrote.

“The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”


Neither the White House or the Department of Homeland Security have said what precipitated the shooting, and did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Despite what the Post says about the protestor's condition, Fox News is reporting he died. Spiciness inbound.

My local (non Minnesota) news dedicated an entire segment to this retard immediately after giving a shooting within the city 2 lines of acknowledgement.

Saying what these people deserve would be radioactive levels of fed posting, but a mislaid bullet to the dome wasn't unearned for this gangly fuck.

You sure about that?

Looks like the Norwood reaper reached him long before the actual reaper.

Can I get a Norwood # on this?

Still not a nigger.
That's really going to piss off the libtards who have already started making their celebratory "politically poignant" banners.

I haven't seen BLM make any noise about all of this. I do find it ironic, however, that after being told over and over that white protesters should use their bodies as human shields for black protesters because white privilege means cops won't shoot them that in the short time that these protests have been going on, there's a much higher body count than there was during all of the months of Ffloyd protests and they're all white.

Crickets from them, yet I fully expect that the next time a black gets shot by a cop, there will be people in the streets shouting, "Say her name!" and claiming that black people get shot by cops more often than white people, even though no one is shooting them as they loot and burn the cities around them.

way bigger one: armed protestor shot

I just drove by a protest here in California. About sixty people, all at least 70 year old former hippies, except for a scattering of I'd guess 5-10 fat, Millennial women.


Obama CRUSHED the Occupy protests and they were fine with it. I mean, they had the police come through and arrest everyone they could grab and rough up/kick out everyone they couldn't, then they smashed all their shit and had it bulldozed in a few hours. That's one thing I have to give Obama-- he knew how to deal with the trash when it was inconveniencing the people he actually cared about.

I saw one guy at an intersection yesterday with a sign that said something about ICE and Noem. Couldn’t really read it. This is in a really conservative area (oddly enough we also have a lot of trannies) so the leftists are everywhere. It’s insane, this country is in deep trouble.

24 hours in the ground..

Guy could be home sipping a latte rn but he wanted to stop someone with domestic violence charges from being deported. lol.

I don't even know what to make of this one. I'm hearing "he deserved it he waved a gun around, he picked a fight with ICE" and "he didn't do any of that and was killed unfairly because of X reason"

The videos kind of suck and it's hard to tell what's going on especially with the absolute retards blowing their whistles like a toddler hyped up on pure sugar.

All I do know is that if the state would just cooperate with ICE, none of this would have happened but Tim Waltz rallied his useful idiots and successfully turned the narrative away from the fact he was involved in a billion dollar scam and will likely get away with it.

I'm just tired boss.

The correct answer is that a shitty thing happened and people want to weaponize it just like they weaponized the situation to cause it in the first place and if anyone is to blame it is the government and people who allowed us to reach this point without doing more to stop it.

Certainly not some CBP dudes just trying to make it to the end of their shift.

So really, it’s everyone’s fault and no one’s fault.

Started shit how though? He seems to just stand around filming then ICE walks up to him and start shoving him around. It doesn't look to me like he's impeding their operations in any way, unlike Renee Good, so I question why they were even interacting with him to begin with.
This whole thing stinks.

I think the guy was trying to intervene with the woman that ICE shoved down.

The lady might have been interfering or obstructing and the guy may have technically been interfering with an ICE operation to detain a the lady that originally obstructed but as you said this whole thing stinks.

Perhaps the agent that fired the first shot didn't see the gun being taken by his fellow ICE officer and fired in some haze of confusion but that was a really serious fuck up.

Personally, I would have sent this to a federal grand jury. I don't think Trump or his Admin should try to pull the Feds in Charge now line.

 

[grump]

What I don't get is in what world is the correct course of action in an 8 man grapple to draw your gun? Even if the gun WAS in the guys hand how does adding a second gun to this pepper spray flavored tangle of limbs help the situation?

Are you for real dude? If a criminal draws a gun on you you as a cop are forbidden from drawing your own gun because 'that just makes things more dangerous'? Since when has this been policy for any law enforcement agency in history?

But the guy is already down, he can't even see he's being drawn down on so theres no intimidation factor.

Uh...why would you think visual intimidation would be only reason for an officer to pull out a gun during an armed struggle?

I don't know what bizarro world you guys suddenly live in that you started telling us about after these shootings.

Maybe the world will be more racist and all these leftists will be like "UghhH! Where are all the black people! Well, except the one who sexually assaulted me in the country jail! It's not fair, I posted for them and EVERYTHING on Reddit! ARgh! This boils my blood! I... I... I AM STORM FRONTING AHHHHHHHH~"

I haven't seen BLM make any noise about all of this.

My impression was that joining the pro-Palestine side of the Middle Eastern question prompted their Jewish handlers to cut them off. Also they dgaf about whitey getting shot for illegal latinos who call them negroes.

There are plenty of prior cases of officers shooting 'unarmed' armed men.

Both of these times the officers were acquitted. The Philando case arguably had some factors less in favor of the officer.

This are high profile police on black incidents. There are almost certainly many other cases that shooters got off without any attention from the public.

If the officers get convicted it will be a clear break of established precedent. And police officers all across the nation will have to be retrained to a much more dangerous standard because a bunch of white liberals are butthurt about ICE cracking down on somali fraudsters. .

Wait, ICE killed Nick Rekieta?

 

[Day of the Cope]

You know what, I feel like slapping someone around for a little... hmmmm...

MIGA cheers for another White person killed.

No one is cheering that this retard spilled his blood out and some poor bastard is going to have to work extra hard to clean the biohazard.

He even had a gun permit and was lawfully carrying.

When did gun permits allow you to get into physical altercation with police officers?

But principles don't matter with team sports politics.

Yes, yes, we know that shitlibs will lie, cheat, and steal in order to get what they want because "the ends justify the means".

Truly the kikes never had a better populace under their control.

If this is the best that duh j00z can do, I have some serious fucking questions.

Imagine the irony if some white protesters are show by ICE agents who are black men.

But the guy is already down, he can't even see he's being drawn down on so theres no intimidation factor. The dumbass ice agent just whipped out his gun first and only started thinking after he reflexively put several rounds in the guy from hearing the ND.

My understanding, from more videos now, is that when his gun was removed the agent ND'ed it, causing them to think the victim was firing. I don't know how accurate that is, it's just 1 slowed down vid I've seen on this. No matter, it was a fucking cluster fuck.

I fully support ICE, but these dudes fucked up. Part of being a pro team is admitting and taking that into account, moving forward and correcting shit. At least IMO based on shit right now.

Like when the white retards in Seattle were killed by a black guy driving the wrong way on the freeway during the Summer of Love. Or when Gauge Retardkruetz was run over by a black man after Kyle "The Kenosha Kid" disarmed him. Gotta love it.

I fully support ICE, but these dudes fucked up. Part of being a pro team is admitting and taking that into account, moving forward and correcting shit. At least IMO based on shit right now.

Part of not being a retarded faggot is realizing that it's hardly a "fuckup" to blame ICE when they're being deliberately fucked with by our own government. They acted completely reasonable given the totality of the circumstances. We already understand they're humans who have to deal with dangerous situations all the time, so anybody going out of their way to ensure those dangerous situations happen more frequently = a retarded faggot.

It'd be like having your kid jump out at a server carrying your dishes away. When they get scared and drop them, anyone acting like their boss should fire them for fucking up is retarded and gay. Also, in this scenario, the restaurant was staffed by illegals and the stupid kid fucking with you is an illegal's anchor baby.

The biggest fuckup would be the agent who disarmed the retard didn't make it clear he had disarmed him (which I'm not sure he did or didn't). The agent almost certainly didn't ND it. It's a known defect in that gun. It's not like they were expecting the SIG to ND and make them think the retard is shooting at them. Plus, the clown could easily have another gun, so even knowing the agent disarmed him doesn't invalidate reflexively airholing the leftoid at the sound of the gun.

But the guy is already down, he can't even see he's being drawn down on so theres no intimidation factor. The dumbass ice agent just whipped out his gun first and only started thinking after he reflexively put several rounds in the guy from hearing the ND.

The gun is because lunatics who are fighting with you and armed will likely try to fatally wound you. When you've been dealing with the local politicians telling their base of retards that you're an actual Nazi disappearing people, you're on the ready.

It's actually reflexively normal to fire at someone you think is shooting at you. Pulling a gun on someone for the "intimidation factor" is actually what would be retarded.

The agent who ND'ed the gun did NOT act reasonably, he was being retarded. That's some butterfingers bullshit. The one who fired, sure, they thought it was the guy on the ground. That's why you investigate.

But in the end, if you pull the trigger then it's on you. I'm not saying I think these guys are some "BLOOD THIRSTY RACIST MURDERERS!" I'm saying they fucked up, there were a lot of failures here. I'm also not saying this was "MURDER", but it was a fatal accident. It sucks (not because of a dead dork) because now this is going to just make shit even harder for the agents who aren't boners like ol' boy who NDed.

And I totally agree, that fag should not have been out there. But he was allowed to be, it was his right to be out there. He's still a fag.
