Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

If Trump is willing to remove ICE from Minnesota if they hand over their voter rolls, then there really isn't an "emergency" need for them to be there. www.cbsnews.com/news/bondi-m...
Bondi seeks Minnesota voter rolls, welfare data to "help bring back law and order" in wake of shootings

Looks like the guy who murdered him had a clear view of his empty holster.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

They don’t want the videos because they reveal the truth. The footage isn’t the problem, the lies are.
When DHS talks, the story collapses. When people film, truth holds.
We bear witness because power lies best in the dark. If they won’t tell the truth, we must.

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.
They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.
We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

Thune has no incentive to separate out DHS, and separating it would require all six go back to the house. So it would seem a block would shut these all down. The pain point would be the airports like last time. 2/

Modern policing is descended from slave patrols.
