This is the Portland Police Chief and he breaks down during a Press Conference regarding the shooting of two people yesterday in Portland by Federal Agents. If you’ve forgotten what it was like to have a member of law enforcement with integrity and compassion — let this man be a reminder.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

What Americans saw happen in Minneapolis is stunning.
An ICE agent killed an unarmed 37-year-old US citizen — Renee Nicole Good — for no reason. Then, Trump and Noem told us not to believe our own eyes.
We’ll keep fighting against their lies and for justice and accountability.

This is so profoundly horrifying on so many levels. I don't even know what to think or to say about the agent not even devoting his full attention or both hands to threatening to shoot and then actually shooting this woman in the face.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.
