If Bellingcat says it, im going with it.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Where the F is Klobuchar?
She's super widely known and liked, she is an ACTUAL SENATOR, and this is game time.
Is there a voice in her head like, "keep your head down then show up in '28?"

The officer in the grey jacket enters the altercation unarmed, reaches over the man as others hold him down and then walks away with a pistol in his hand.
It appears that this officer managed to disarm the suspect prior to the first shots.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.
