Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

As it should be. The US has a long and sometimes sorid history in Greenland that I write about here: theconversation.com/us-military-...
