Two neighbors came out with a snow shovel and a broom to beat away the officer. If I were writing the scene, I'd add a hockey stick guy but you're doing amazing cliches, Minneapolis.
JUST IN: Minneapolis city officials reported a shooting in north Minneapolis Wednesday night. The Associated Press said a federal officer shot a person in the leg. This is an ongoing story and will be updated as we learn more.

Revanchism. Trump dangled himself in front of the Democrats for years saying please nominate me for a president but they weren't that dumb. This is all revenge because he had to settle for Republicans people who he has no respect for and no desire to be among. He wants respect of the cultural elite

We don't. Not without making this right and without severely prosecuting these thugs
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.
Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.

There is a crisis of masculinity in this country and many of the men who are in the throes of that crisis work for ICE.

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video. #sheshed

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

This piece is as reliably great as you'd expect from Spencer Ackerman.
We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.
This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.
