I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear: what just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

@SeanCasten yes. One shot for who knows what reason, then everyone jumps in to get their fill.
There is more of us than there is of them
-
Anything you hear from Kristi Noem other than shame and contrition will be a fucking lie. She made this happen by lying to defend Jonathan Ross after he murdered Renee Good and reinforcing a culture of hatred and uncontrolled violence by undertrained and over-armed punks.
-
Saw the video. Six guys on one, then gunshots. Every one of the agents walked away upright. Awfully hard to justify that as self defense.
-
Donald Trump is complicit of course. But so is every single Republican in the House and Senate who voted for a massive increase in ICE funding in their Big Ugly Bill and refused to do any oversight. Trump is doing what he can get away with and you can smell their cowardice from a mile away.
-
Everyone must know that working for or with ICE = prosection in the US equivalent to the Nuremberg Trials.
And everyone who votes to fund this obvious terror is complicit and must be locked up for the rest of their rotten lives, too.
-
Pam Bondi is complicit for running a Department of Justice that refuses to apply the rule of law equally to all, along with Kash "I don't read" Patel at the FBI. By taking Renee Goods investigation from the MN PD they sent a message that if you shoot civilians we'll protect you.

. @SeanCasten Training Is Not Even Part Of Any Serious And Sufficient Response To This, PLEASE STOP Implying It Could Be

@SeanCasten@mastodon.social
So are the seven collaborator Democrats that recently voted to continue funding. They need to be put up against the same wall. -
As I write this, I see the jackboots are already suggesting that the victim had a gun. Srsly? He was pinned to the ground. And you know who else had a gun? George Zimmerman. Don't tell me you can shoot a kid with a bag of skittles but you should trust a fat dude with an ICE badge and a face mask.
-
Finally, if you think they wouldn't shoot you in a heartbeat because - I dunno, you're a white dude, or you voted for this - you are deluding yourself. They don't give a damn about any American. They know that the walls are closing in and are petrified about the accountability that will come.
-
@SeanCasten The correct framing here is they were not policing an agitator, they were gang assaulting a victim. Instead of controlling his extremities, as a police officer would have, they are pistol whipping and kicking him. Even if he did have a gun, at that point he was justified in defending himself with it, and never would have been able to had they been doing an actual job, instead of trying to instigate a murder and a riot.
-
The vast majority of Americans are good people who don't tolerate this. The mass protests in MN yesterday, the collapsing poll numbers, the decency scares them. They are shooting their way out and don't care who they hit.
-
What they deserve was outlawed in the middle ages. But make no mistake: accountability will come as long as our democracy survives because nothing they are doing can stand a free and fair election. Keep protesting. Keep filming. Stay patriotic. We've still got the numbers.
-
@SeanCasten it's worse there today, now
-
@SeanCasten aided and abetted? My dude. They’re the one giving the orders.
-
@SeanCasten we just need to be and stay AWAKE AWARE AND VISIBLE
-
@SeanCasten Legalities are a bureaucratic nicety, if the Law doesn't reflect what is RIGHT to do.
If we stick to their claimed rules, while they don't we are doomed. We stick to OUR rules. Do what is decent of others, do unto evil ones exactly what they deserve.
A man was tackled, a magazine was emptied into him, unnecessarily. A woman was murdered for driving away. Families are torn apart.
There is NOTHING that is ugly or harsh enough done to MAGAt gestapo that is too much.
-
Democrats in the house had the power to reject funding. They are complicit. Do not give them a pass!
-
@SeanCasten also corrupt SCOTUS who essentially gave Trump permission to do whatever.
