@justincates @MrAzSports@TaylorLewan77 Not sure where you are but Dirty Drummer has great wings. Not golden but great. They also have decent chicken tenders and it’s a dive bar but generally kid friendly during the day/afternoon.
BREAKING: The Minneapolis PD are now reporting that ICE has taken witnesses from the shooting today to the Whipple Federal building and ordered the local police to LEAVE the scene immediately. What the hell are they trying to cover up?
Behind all those ICE videos, you can hear the blue wave brewing—its roar growing louder with every clip. It’s getting stronger, more determined, no longer to simply wash over the moment, but ready to crash through it—likely swinging hard in the opposite direction.
This isn’t Democrats pulling strings. It’s organic. Americans have always instinctively—and passionately—rejected unchecked power.
🚨ICE/Border Patrol agents were caught on camera committing a hit-and-run in Minneapolis.
In the video, an unmarked federal vehicle is stopped in the road. A legal observer is sitting in a car behind them, not violating the law, just observing.
Then, without warning, the agents start reversing the vehicle towards the observer…
But, they failed to notice a parked car sits directly behind them.
As the observer backs up, the federal vehicle slams into the parked car.
They stop… and pull forward.
You can see the moment they realized they just fucked up, and are debating what to do.
They realize no one is in it… so they drive away.
And this isn’t the first time…
ICE and Border Patrol agents are driving aggressively through communities across the country, using their vehicles as weapons, putting neighbors, families, and bystanders at risk.
And anytime they hit someone, instead of a parked car, they aggressively arrest the person they hit and say they were “rammed.”
For a department that constantly claims it’s hunting criminals, their agents sure seem to be the ones committing the crimes.
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
Trump regime ICE troops murdered a US citizen, a woman in Minneapolis. She was shot point blank in the face according to witnesses. Footage shows her drive away as an ICE trooper shoots into her car window, causing her car to lose control.
@elonmusk@paulg@grok If you were an AI tasked with applying objective use-of-force standards, would you have authorized lethal force based solely on this video evidence?
This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.
Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.
