I just want you to remember. That we live in a world where octopuses dream, otters have a favorite shell that they carry with them all their lives, cows have best friends, and bees have different "dialects" of dance depending on the region. Cats purr at a frequency that accelerates bone healing, the forest grows flowers first after a fire, and dolphins give each other names and respond to them. Penguins make proposals by giving each other the most beautiful pebble
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents shot a man in the leg as he ran into his own home… while a pregnant woman and children were inside, in Minneapolis.
In the video, the family is heard calling the police for help, saying ICE agents followed the man for about 30 minutes.
When he reached his home, he ran inside. An agent then opened fired toward the house, hitting him in the leg.
Let’s be clear about what that means.
Law enforcement is not allowed to use lethal force just because someone runs.
Law enforcement is not allowed to fire toward an occupied home.
Law enforcement is not allowed to seize someone inside their home without a judicial warrant, absent extremely narrow circumstances.
This shot was fired in the direction of a house with children inside.
This was not a split-second traffic stop.
This was not an imminent threat to anyone inside that home.
If families are calling the police because federal agents are firing toward their house, the question isn’t whether this is normal. The question is how much longer the government will keep violating the Constitution before someone else is killed.
It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it.
By far the most disturbing ICE video I’ve seen from Evanston, IL today.
An ICE agent points his gun at unarmed citizens. Twice.
Then, he goes around the SUV, drops to his knees, and presses his full weight onto a man’s back. Moments later, that same man’s head is beaten into the pavement while the agent holds his head down.
When they finally pull him up, his face is swollen and dazed… clearly concussed… and then they slam his head into the SUV and pin it there with their shoulder.
You can’t watch this and call it law enforcement. This is excessive force and criminal assault.
