Legitimate broadcast networks (not Fox News or CBS News) MUST air the videos of the ICE agent shooting and killing a woman in Minneapolis quickly. The administration's narrative of what happens doesn't hold up at all to the video of what actually happened. This is a journalistic imperative.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Minneapolis Mayor says video shows DHS claims of self-defense are “bullshit.” He says ICE created the situation & made it worse. His message to ICE: “Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." He encourages citizens not to take the bait & rise to the occasion. "Let's show them unity."
The truth about this incident will emerge. Plenty of people took video; the shooting will be analyzed. A badge is not a license to shoot. Deadly force can’t be used unless an agent reasonably believes their life/the lives of other are at risk. Law enforcement’s job is to protect & serve.
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

Great message, but it needs to be fully brought out into the open; others need to help spread the message.
Include: Trump's Venezuelan operation, boats, and invasion are against international, federal, and military law.

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.
