But flash grenade and guns are fine for these same agents...
Whistles are now WMDs, according to the "high IQ" crowd.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

The fingers in their ears "la la la" response. There needs to be repurcussions...especially as they will be working this weekend.
Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday.

Ridiculous behavior.

Got this from a first-year law student today. I’m going to turn comments and quotes off because I am going to respond in my own way and am not looking for advice. But I think people should see it.

It's good that Stitt sees a problem, but love that its the ppl around DJT are to blame, poor doddering fool has no agency I guess
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) on CNN: “I think the death of Americans, what we're seeing on TV, it's causing deep concerns over federal tactics and accountability. Americans don't like what they're seeing right now. … [Trump’s] getting bad advice right now.”

They went with an accurate headline, and ended up with this.
Goddamit I should have known it was too good to last. Some senior editor decided to both-sides it after all. Cowards! Charlatans!

The thing is, they could have created a durable electoral coalition. Minnesota was swinging red hard enough that Walz decided not to run, they made inroads across the country. But they couldn’t because they only know how to overplay their hand. They’re weak and impulsive.

The DHS defense of Pretti's killing focuses on the existence of the gun. But look at everything that happened before the agents discovered the gun.
DHS agents escalated: macing and mercilessly beat Pretti as he tried to protect two people being assaulted. None of that was remotely acceptable.

It’s also what racist southern governors and mayors said about MLK, SNCC and the NAACP.

The Minnesota Patriots are in good company.
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

Thing is Putin did actually have a lot of support in the population due to the implicit deal of improved economic conditions, the Russian regime knows that you can't do the all stick all the time method without the carrot.

But this is how Border Patrol in particular has behaved, continuously. They threaten and brutalize people at the slightest provocation. They troop around like an invading army, not a force that is supposed to protect us. When you see it, it’s so clear: they’re the conquerors, we’re the enemy.

I blocked those guys early on and never looked back.
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

This thread is an awful long list of ICE arresting absolutely anyone they can, without any reason, just that they wanted to.
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

“Why would you bring a gun to a protest?”

Pal, there are people who bring AR’s to the grocery store and you’re totally cool with that so maybe sit this one out.

We can and should demand more, and this point is no reason to let up. But I do want to acknowledge something: to get members of Congress talking like this is necessary even if it's insufficient. And it's absolutely not sufficient. But it is still a necessary step if we want them to ever do the rest.
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.

I spent the last year writing a book about the ridiculous demands of what it means to be masculine. But a guy who takes care of people who served our country, asks a woman “are you ok?” When she is in distress and looks out for his vulnerable neighbors seems like a pretty good role model for a man.

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

In like 5 months, republicans are going to try to rerun a Jay Jones when it gets leaked that some democratic says that ICE agents should be liked up along a wall and it’s not going to make a single difference in that democrat leading by a landslide. And republicans will not comprehend it.
