I think it should be mandatory for anyone that works in the finance or payroll department to have to submit their own invoices and then chase it up for a few months so they know what it’s like.

There is video, do not seek it out, it clearly shows an execution.
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

Yeah, I just made that mistake. Straight up execution. Don’t watch. Turn off autoplay.
I'm not going to watch or repost the video. We know a federal agent killed another Minnesotan.
