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.

Fascism is when you aren't replacing white people fast enough or when a law reddit doesn't agree with gets enforced.

Fucking literally. That's the working definition in the 21st century.

When real fascism shows up, if it ever does, you won't hear it condemned above a whisper if at all.

You have convinced me, and countless others I'm sure, that you are correct. That crying from laughter emoji has made me rethink my entire political beliefs. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways Mx. Redditor.

This is not to downplay Higby's good work at all, but rather, highlights the FBI and DHS's complete, utter incompetence. We should not need to have independent journalists uncover and investigate insurrection and domestic terrorism for us. That is literally what the FBI and (especially) DHS are for.

This has been one of those things that really pisses me off for the past 10+ years. The utter incompetence and tech illiteracy of governmental agencies.
Those people are all active in public groups that can be found with minimal effort using public search engines.

It is inconceivable that police forces around the world lack basic google competency, yet here we are once again.

[EDIT] Takes 5 seconds to find a place to start looking for info on how to get into group chats. It really isn't that hard.

You're confusing incompetence with malice.

They could have done this and more, they specifically choose not to, much like the Minneapolis PD chooses to not do their fucking jobs, or how DOJ hasn't issued any arrest warrants.

You can also lump Trump not making an example of liberal, activist judges under this.
 
Here's some more nonsense:

You know, I'm convinced that Hans Landa was not actually the talented and perceptive investigator he portrays himself as. In the second half of the film, he finds a napkin signed by Bridget Von Hammersmark at the tavern where the shootout between the Basterds and German soldiers. Because of this, he knows beyond any doubt that she is working with the Basterds. However, he withholds this clue and pretends to have ingeniously deduced her guilt by connecting her recently broken foot to the discarded shoe found at the scene.

The same, I think, occurs in the opening scene -- he knows, going in, that the LaPadites are hiding the Dreyfuses under the floorboards, presumably from a tip or some other similarly straightforward item of evidence. He carries out this theatre of deducing from goodness-knows-what that the Dreyfuses are hiding under the floor. He chooses not to arrest the LaPadites and he allows Shoshanna to escape so they can all propagate his legend as a kind of Nazi Sherlock Holmes. Landa is full of shit.

ICE & BP will keep existing after Trump is gone.

Deportations will keep happening after Trump is gone.

The left is retarded if the hill they choose to die on is preventing potential illegals from being sent back.

Also, you don't show up to a "peaceful" protest with a handgun and two mags. Just because it's your right, that doesn't mean you should. This is just another FAFO.

I haven't seen from what this all started from, but if he really did brandish his gun then that explains why so many officers went up to him. I doubt he was "just recording" in the middle of the street.

I don't think so. ICE and BP are existential threats to the Democrats flooding the country with illegals and would gladly eras both groups via the current clusterfuck. To hell that it would also mean telling the rest of the world that it is now open season to do another 911 style terror attack.

On the contrary, they both of existential importance as "THE ENEMY" when convenient, meaning when under control of a Republican White House.
They will disappear from the news cycle the second a Democrat is President, just like nobody gave a shit about deportations and arrests under Obama.

The Democrats happily use the same system and agencies, to enact the same arrests and deportations (including children), but will scream bloody murder about someone else doing the same, because its all about feelings and the message, not truth or facts.

This thread has by far come the closest to provoking a serious, genuinely angry rant from me during my time on this website.

But I have work in the morning, so I'll just say this:

Nuremberg 2.0 is going to be lit af

The left won't do Nuremberg 2.0 because at this point, they know their only chance to keep power is to go full Cambodian genocide on the right and any normie not in lockstep with the lunatic left.

You're going to have to decide whether they executed a disarmed faggot or battled a valiant rainbow warrior.
