Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.

A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.

The officers appeared to scatter after the barrage of shots went off, according to the footage.



The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post, sharing a photo of the firearm.

In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.


“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.

More than 100 protesters had been at the scene when the encounter occurred. The man’s condition was not immediately known.





On Friday, protesters yelled obscenities at two people wearing plain clothes who they believed to be agents after protesters claimed their rental car was linked to the incident, according to video reviewed by The Post.

Neither person was an officer.



Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) posted about the incident on X late morning Saturday as the details of the shooting were still unfolding.

“I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening,” he wrote.

“The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”


Neither the White House or the Department of Homeland Security have said what precipitated the shooting, and did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Despite what the Post says about the protestor's condition, Fox News is reporting he died. Spiciness inbound.

I find it pretty telling that only one white women in my social media orbit seems to care about this killing when all of them wouldn't stop screaming about George Floyd and Kyle Rittenhouse.

Because the media successfully duped idiots into believing that Rittenhouse crossed state lines from hundreds of miles away just to kill 2 Black individuals.

The same couldn't be said about ICE killing a white Ally.

This is messy.

I’m a republican and fully support ICE, in fact I dearly hope they don’t fall back on enforcement of our citizenship and who is legally allowed to be here because of this.
We’ve made great progress on letting illegal immigrants and those who have stayed past their temporary visas etc know that it won’t be tolerated, and they either need to self deport or we’ll do it for them.

With that being said: this was a bad situation, and a bad shoot.
Everything I’ve seen leads me to believe that he was disarmed before he was shot.
In this specific situation, officers made wrong calls and a man lost his life for it.
Cannot justify that.

I mostly agree. It looks like they didn't all realize the gun was taken. After it all, in video, you hear one agent say "WHERE'S THE GUN?" looking around for it. I'm thinking whoever shot thought he still had the gun. THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE. That's sloppy. I also support ICE. These guys need to be taken off & go to trial. I think that's the best move PR wise too. It just looks accountable.

They can still say "Hey, MN, use cops like FL and TX to ASSIST US instead of making this dangerous!" They can still say "These people are LARPing dorks" etc, obviously in a better way.

If a cop shoots someone in a sloppy manner no one WITH ANY SENSE goes "WELL, END ALL COPS NOW!" They send the cop to court, they keep moving.

This was sloppy, this wasn't what the Good situation was (justified), and I think that needs to be manned up to.

Ultimately, I dunno, whatever. I guess it won't matter TOO much because these LARPing twats are going to push this until it is full on insurrection act time. That's the goal obviously.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

the point being made is there is a financial incentive to not promote certain topics, but if you want to convince yourself feds killing people who are disarmed doesn't ultimately hurt your long term goals of impacting how money is spent, then you can keep convincing yourself that with RomanSoldierDeusVult9001 users in this thread!

“Noooo! You can’t have Feds killing a Reddit retard resisting arrest with a gun, that’s how the corrupt state officials and thieving bulb heads win!” Is uh, a take I suppose.

If anything, ICE needs to go more hardcore. I agree, instead of killing him, all those men should have actually removed his pants and buck broken him in public. With each time a man finished, they play on a airhorn “THIS IS YOU IF YOU DONT MOVE OUT OF THE STREET! Uggffh!! You are next WALZ! Prepare thy hole!” Then hit him with a bullwhip.

It’s legit the only way these protestors will learn to behave properly.

If anything I wish both shootings hadn't happened but it's impossible for things not to go wrong when retards keep putting themselves in harm's way.

They haven't backed down, which I'm glad for, and I hope they keep doing what they are doing because we all know that if they ever get back in power, everyone in the current admin will get fucked regardless of what they do.

These guys need to be taken off & go to trial.

So they can give them a Kafkaesque trial like Chauvin?
Guilty of both manslaugther and second degree murder, the court just ignoring that Floyd had enough fent in him to kill an ox

 

[WelfareNiggerQueen]

Why aren't ICE being protected? Where are the local police to quell these mobs?

The local government is heavily involved in organizing these obstructions. Tim Walz and Jacob Frey want useful idiots like Pretti & Good to get themselves killed so they have martyrs for their gay nigger political grandstanding most likely to keep public discourse away from the Somali nigger fraud.

 

[Kwopsie Peepsie]

Does anyone have links (like catbox or something) of the **original raw** videos? Everything I find is downscaled and blurry due to being re-encoded a dozen times.

Chauvin should not have been fiund guilty. These guys seem guilty. They fucked up. They were sloppy. I don't think they're cold blooded murdereds, but I think they fully fucked up and I believe are guilty.

This doesn't mean I think this fag should have been out there. This doesn't mean I don't support continued operations. I think these guys handled it poorly and now a dork is dead. Even if I think he's a LARPing count fagula, they shouldn't have fired it seems. Maced him, beat the shit out of him, sure. And I get it, they thought the gun was still there. But that's not an excuse when at least one of them very much knew and communication was ass.

The gun is out for a second or less before the shot. There isn't even enough time to complete the phrase, "I have his gun!"

 

[Nick Gars]

These people want you dead and your children raped by browns who are incompatible with society.

I don't give a single shit another one of these ghoulish monsters was shot. Obstructing law enforcement from removing lecherous criminal illegals is treason and worthy of execution. Period.

 

[█████████]

Moralfagging over this is dumb. One less anti-ICE redditor in the world is a good thing honestly. Have these anti-ICE deaths be made examples out of, so less of them get in the way of ICE doing their jobs.

Trump's USA is dangerously out of control, like a mad max wasteland with all the masked gangs roaming the streets looking for easy prey.

 

[majob]

I am annoyed at the admin for not arresting Waltz and his political organizers for treason. Send in delta force or the seals and arrest him already before it escalates further. They will drag this country down before having to face the music on their blatant fraud.

They can't rush Walz's case, lest they end up with a Leticia James scenario where he walks because their case wasn't solid enough

In my opinion, this should be a manslaughter charge minimum. This is the point where the national guard should definitely be deployed to keep interactions like these to the absolute minimum.

No she walked cause they were fucking retarded and left a blatant flaw to be exploited early on.

 

[Rei is Shit.]

whether it's Ashli Babbitt or George Floyd or whatever there are always so many retards that come out ASAP to grave dance I hate to go "both sides are bad!" but really how blind to your own autism do you have to be.

The average person doesn't have many, or sometimes any sincerely held beliefs. Its all a bunch of theater to give moral justification to their undying support for their preferred team.

 

[Wargarbl]

I won't bother taking a stance on the legality of the shoot, but this incident and the domed dyke are perfect illustrations of why you don't fuck around with armed LEOs. One small mistake can get turned into life-changing or life-ending consequences real fast.

If the dyke had simply got out of the car and got detained, just like the NGO trained her to do and like she'd already done before, she'd still be alive and acting like an obnoxious cunt today. If this dipshit had left his piece at home OR not purposely wrestled with officers in a chaotic environment while packing, he's still be blowing his faggoty rape whistle at ICE like the Redditor he is (was).

How legal a shoot is doesn't change the outcome for the person who got shot. They're dead, and in both these cases, the deceased took actions that directly led to their own demise. Actions they had time to avoid taking.

Be responsible for yourself, and don't play stupid games with armed LEOs.

Why on God's Green Earth would you prosecute a soldier for killing the enemy?

 

[No-Eyed Square Guy]

Be responsible for yourself, and don't play stupid games with armed LEOs.

The people we call the left are pathologically—morbidly, mortally—disconnected from reality.

Personally I despise cops, all the police, all the feds, even the fat guy at the door of the library hoping the tag detector beeps so he can fight somebody. I would have them "abolished," given the wish. I consider them all enemies of the people, guard-dogs of power (but less human than dogs), niggers by choice, etc.

So I avoid them. If I were to "confront" them, it would be with purely murderous intent—and I don't even consider doing that, because it wouldn't matter. I'd die and they would go on. I'm some asshole, and they're an eternal archetype.

"The left" claims to believe approximately the same, that ICE are the gestapo, the cops are nazis, etc. They're a supra-historical evil. So...

They taunt them. They obstruct them while flashing a tacticool variant of a fed gun. They do the wavy arm nigger meme when ordered around by them.

What's supposed to happen?

The situation in Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle is unusual. The local police are outranked by and serve antifa. So the "anti-police" left is uppity.

But still. What's possible—here on earth, in real life? What can you accomplish?

Get shot. Nobody cares. Not really.
