If you feel helpless living far away from MN, here are many ways to give those working on the ground there. Plenty of options for whatever moves you. I gave to immigrant mutual aid, reproductive care, animal rescue and rent relief, but there are several others.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

We’re winning. Not everything yet. Do not let up but it’s cracking. Proud of my city for leading this effort. No one fights for civil rights better than Minneapolis. Not our first rodeo. Grateful forever for the ultimate sacrifice of Renee and Alex in protecting our democracy. 💕💔

His daughter has a stronger moral compass than he does. WOW. Good for her.

This happens in AZ all the time!!
That IS brandishing; the firearms are in their hands with fingers on the triggers.
A bolstered, pocketed, or slung firearm is NOT brandishing by any stretching or warping of the law. Period.
Here is another example of brandishing — with an illegally possessed and trafficked firearm, at that:

Huh. Not up here in AZ…cops love the guys with assault rifles strapped to their chests at no kings. Stop the lies.
Leavitt: Any gun owner knows when you are carrying a weapon and are confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you.

For those who claim “no one goes to a protest without guns and ammo”. Come to Prescott AZ. Our peaceful protest was SURROUNDED by fake militia with ASSAULT RIFLES strapped to their chests & reams of ammo on their neck. Will the police remove them next time then? @msnowreports.bsky.social @cnn.com

Dear Bessent why don’t you come visit our peaceful protests up here in Prescott AZ where the magats strap assault weapons with reams of ammo around their necks? So I’m guessing that’s fine?
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.
Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever
Bessent: But he brought a gun!
Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

I went to no kings here in Prescott AZ on our courthouse square. On the street corner waiting to cross I had to stand next to a faction of some “minutemen” something or other Nazis with assault rifles across their chest and reams of ammo strung around their necks. So…it seemed ok six weeks ago.
Trump: “I don’t like any shooting. I don’t like it…But I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest and he’s got a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets also. That doesn’t play good either.”

And sprayed FROM BEHIND. He was bent over helping the women the thug had pushed into a snow bank.
ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.
