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'm not American, I don't support either side. Your politics always seems to swing wildly from one extreme to the other. It's all very entertaining for those of us watching from the outside. Watching the decline of a superpower is always going to be fascinating.

Ah so you are fucking retarded

I'm saying what I see, a load of over weight men struggling to control a skinny little fella and letting a pretty nothing situation get wildly out of hand resulting in a death.

A skinny dude that had a concealed weapon(for a time)

How were they so useless if it's not due to lack of actual training? They couldn't disable him without having to stick a load of bullets into him.

This means nothing.What exactly do you mean here by "training"? Jiu jistu? I have seen some police action from europe and its not like they are trained karate masters

Absolutely pathetic.

from a eurocuck/iceback? funny.

I'd be embarrassed to support this if I was American, it's turning the country into a global laughingstock.

lol

The fact is, sometimes things have to be done that the 'globe'(eurofags and icecucks) do not percieve as nice(their tiktok feeds and shitlib news have told them its the freaking gestapo you see)

My question is, why exactly did ICE attack the guy in the first place?

Because a dumb bitch got in ICE's face spitting and she got shoved away. He then chose that as his moment to get involved

It also was revealed that he was in the leaked Signal group chats for harassing ICE

Money shot from the pink lady released. Potato vision unfortunately.

I think that it was Sig Saar engineering that got that guy killed but it did look like he was reaching for it after the first shot.
Sig Saar goes off after some mild jiggling.
Feds get spooked and jump back.
Soy boy reaches for gun in waist.
Gets lit up.

All I see is the woman seeks to spit on the officer, he shoves her, dude grabs the officer, pepper spray, dude then starts getting really handsy with the girl, and they wrestle him down. There is no traction so this is all like corralling drunks who got pepper sprayed.

Also @74164978231 this is leaving out that it's icy out there .

Some weirdo is going to take all this cosplaying as revolutionaries seriously and is going to start shootings soon.

You think so? Right wingers have been hoarding guns and blathering about revolution for decades and the only time they did any kind of uprising was when the president gave them permission. Maybe leftoids are less docile?

 

[CharlesBarkley]

As a European man with AIDS and a wrist like a old man’s limp penis, I would have used some ninja kicks and sweet karate moves to disarm him then hold him with one of those Japanese thief catcher claws. Bringing him to the mayor, I would be like “ Oi, caught this one ay- Thy fellow was quite trounced!” And the mayor would be like “Grand show! Please, all the Muslim dick in the realm shall be put into your ass and mouth.”

And I would be a hero. Stupid Americans.

"leftoids are more docile" cmon maaaayne

The fact is when people continuedly larp, the chances of ONE person being a retard drastically increases, and it only take ONE person to fuck shit up at times.

Well, like I said, rightoids have openly fantasized about "rising up" since forever and they stockpile weapons, why haven't they done shit?

I genuinely hope whichever Democrat wins in 2028 puts you bootlicking cunts in the same situations you've been full-throatedly defending to preserve Trump's honor.

Always nice to hear from the other side of the ideological divide to remind myself why my own views, once fairly moderate, live and let live, and middle-of-the-road, have veered into Franco and Pinochet territory complete with free helicopter rides. You and your screechy commie cat lady allies have thoroughly radicalized me. You murdered Charlie Kirk. You've twice tried to assassinate Trump. And now you and yours are conducting an insurrectionist campaign in blue states to keep those millions of mostly hostile and criminal illegal aliens in the country so you can exploit them for millions of votes and billions in graft.

There's a good chance the Dems might win in 2028. I'd put my money on Senator Mark Kelly to win the Dem nomination if only because he can present himself as a moderate even though he fucking isn't. He's as far-Left as the rest, with financial ties to China that would raise alarms if the press actually reported on them. We'll see.

Anyway, if the Left is eager for a fight, you'll almost certainly get one. Let's see how it plays out.

You guys haven’t experienced proper political violence. A couple of jaded hippies setting bombs off in the 60s and 70s, brown rioting so they can loot, and a guy with a truck full of fertiliser who decided to teach a day care in an FBI building a lesson is a fraction of the level of political violence we’ve experienced over here.

Pretty sure the Civil War wasn't a cakewalk

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

He then chose that as his moment to get involved

In what way though? I only saw a clip of the video and haven't read much on it... so she got knocked down at some point and he stood in front of her with camera out. I assume I'm missing some other details related to what his involvement was that led to them gangtackling him and pistol whipping him. Was there a threat at that point, or what exactly has ICE said was their official reason for attacking the dude, beyond him just being an annoying twat with his camera out.

 

[Malodorous Merkin]

They're poorly trained yeehaw yankies. Disposable grunts who are going to be in a world of shit when the pendulum swings back the other way, as it seems to all the time in the USA.

Their masks won't save them when Trump inevitably throws them under the bus and offers them up as a sacrifice to protect himself.

Your revenge fantasies are unrealistic and gay.

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

My question is, why exactly did ICE attack the guy in the first place? Serious question, I'm sure it's been answered somewhere but shoveling for the answer is like shoveling through shit. What exactly made them tackle this guy and start beating on him in the first place? Was it the phone out, or him standing in front of the lady that was knocked down? What initiated the physical confrontation?

He snuck up directly behind and officer and started interfering with him to disrupt the officer's attempt to handle the female protestor. Then he got pepper sprayed. Then he struggled with the cops. Then they saw his gun.

 

[Myron]

Was the antifa freedom fighter antagonizing the secret gestapo police(fascist nazis) even a threat? Why did they attack him for no reason??? No I wont watch the video you quoted I just want to know what he did wrong...

It seems like people are watching two different videos, I haven't seen the one where he sneaks up on ICE. I've only seen the one where he has his phone in his hand (the phone he was recording them with ....secretly I guess, since he snuck up on them?), and then get tackled and disarmed, and then after being disarmed this happens:



So since I haven't seen that video of him sneaking up on the ICE officer, I was hoping someone would post it. I admittedly haven't seen that one and it could change the context.

Get out.

It's one thing to be lazy in that you just can't search for your answers on the site.

It's another thing that you're retarded enough to post the AI picture that everybody mocked yesterday where one officer's head is literally missing.

 

[Clotso Coof]

, her damn wife literally yells "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO USE REAL BULLETS?" Like....bitch this isn't a SIM.

Worse, she actually yelled "why did you have real bullets?!" She thought they didn't even have real bullets. She saw that they were armed, obviously, but either assumed or were told by her comrades ICE has fake/nonlethal ammunition loaded.

Even the paid activists are being told absolute bullshit in their "training", like ICE can't arrest them or do anything stronger than pepper spray. I wouldn't be surprised if they're being told they can have successful lawsuits if ICE so much as touches them.

Nevermind the head, his foot is holding a gun... or maybe it's become merged with it... is ICE already using augs????

Both officers are holding the gun that's supposedly executing the half-Kike

I don't think they were told that, I just think they are experienced rioters used to going up against cops geared up for riots.

It's from the video though, right? See below around the 13 second mark, his arm comes up to obscure his head from frame:

Here’s the video.
fag_with_a_mag-mp4.8474851.mp4

The video makes it pretty clear he wasn't sneaking up on anybody, and we see the video of the ICE agent disarming him and running off before this snapshot of him about to be shot.

I have no idea if this guy is Antifa or not (@Myron made the claim but he's verifiably retarded so take it with a grain of salt), and I agree those people are insufferable - no loss there if that's the case. I happen to be a proponent of small government though (really, really small government) and an armed citizenry, so this shit always sets of my spidey senses. You may be a Big Government gun control kinda person though, so our perspectives are likely different.
