This following thread is entirely correct.
Whether or not it should be a Herculean struggle to convict a law enforcement officer of even a negligent manslaughter, never mind a murder, it is nonetheless a Herculean struggle. And alas it cannot, in the end, take place in a Minnesota courtroom.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

This is why we need to rebuild union power.
Strong unions serve as a countervailing force to runaway corporate power and ensure workers share in the profits their labor creates.
Otherwise, the rich eat up a larger and larger share of the pie — like this:

“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

Who you gonna believe, ICE, or your own lyin' eyes?
ICE is accusing the woman who was shot to death by an ICE agent today in Minneapolis of "weaponizing her vehicle" and "attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them -- an act of domestic terrorism"
