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.

This is wrong and bad and please stop thinking that thank you.

NEVER! YOU SHALL BE LOVED AND CHERISHED



Now someone gift this man a true and honest status! (Not me tho I am sure someone else is very generous)

I guarantee that guy had a hard drive full of Child Enthusiast material.

I'm not the /k/ type, but is his weapon indisputably a Sig P320?

I ask because I followed some Xitter link earlier making similar observations and the replies were full of "actually child that's a P226 so this doesn't apply" or whatever, and fuck if I can tell the difference from some spastic phone footage.

The gun appears to be a custom P320 with an aluminum frame.

If it were a P226, you would be able to see the hammer underneath the slide, like this:

AI?

Whatever, in this specific case, I don't necessarily believe the man should've been shot. Whether the agent shot the gun due to accidental discharge or whatever else, I believe the shooting was a bad one, at least from what I can gather. I don't want to take joy in people being killed if the officers weren't fully justified in shooting him, even if they are my enemies. Though I would imagine the TES people and the left in general would scream bloody murder even if the shooting was justified, but this is MY opinion,

He deliberately went armed into a situation where law enforcement agents are on edge because they know idiot Leftists are walking around with guns, and got involved in something that did not concern him. He got himself shot and is solely to blame.

I mean, who you kidding?

His username sure matches the post

It's an unrelated man, he's a super faggot and an ANTIFA leader that made a call to Arms against ICE agents. Link

Cant retards in this thread learn to use Google search or reverse image search

I understand that, but if I'm not mistaken, the CBP thought he was reaching for his gun when he was actually reaching for something else, right? They probably should've at least checked what he was holding before shooting him.

I think the Floyd riots gave the left a sense that if they just cause enough chaos for a long enough time then they'll get exactly what they want, society will bend the knee and reshape itself in the most gay and retarded way possible.
The right thinks it can just wait out the left, that they'll get bored and go back to watching Stranger Squid Games Things season 216.

Meanwhile, on January 6 the left struck it down quickly and violently and the right got PTSD from it.

 

[Dagoth AMOGUS]

You're right. Fuck the Second Amendment.

I mean, yes, he never pulled the gun, had a face full of a maze, was lying face down with no gun in his hands. So you're right, he deserves to be executed after one of the ICE agents patted him down and took away the gun from him. After that, as he was lying face down, it was a good thing that the ICE agent executed him. How dare this ICU nurse for the VA use his constitutional rights?

IF you have a gun legally and you don't threaten anyone with it, then the government is right in executing you.

Can you rally the rest of TES to come here please

 

[Dagoth AMOGUS]

Why?

You all are an entertaining lot and would benefit both yourselves and the site at large greatly from your presence here

Also I am banned from there

Oh he deleted it

*ahem* I just think the woke and empathetic thing would be for the entirety of TES to enter this thread, much to the enjoyment &/or pleasure of others. Dolly Parton would do that. Same with black jesus. Do it for they/them.

I believe the shooting was a bad one

I hate serious posting but ok

The problem is people categorize shootings by good/bad by a certain criteria, playing each second and trying to find milliseconds of who grabbed what first, etc.

Instead, you must go by good faith, policy, and possible negligence . You have an individual with a gun, who attends a protest, refuses arrest, and despite numerous LEO telling him to stop, he keeps thrashing violently about.

In this moment, as a LEO, you see this man continuing to fight, as a multitude of legs, arms, and body movement occur. So, let’s look at each category:

Good faith: Did the LEO act in good faith? Gun is visually identified. Officers grapple fighting with armed suspect. Everyone is huddled and bundled. The officer must act and is the use of deadly force the most appropriate action? Due to the environment, risk presented, and actions and nature of the protestor, yes. The ICE agent acted not in malicious intent, but in effort to control the situation with an appropriate amount of force.

Honestly, if the nigger didn’t bring his piece to event, he would be alive. lol. I wouldn’t be shocked if he also brought his shitty gun to various bars as well and was drinking while carrying.

Policy: Did the ICE agent act in accordance with his training and policies? If it’s anything like most other law enforcement organizations, then yes.

Negligence: Did the officer show failure or lack of common procedure? Did they fuck up in someway and exceeded the amount of force needed? Did a failure in communication occur where, in example, hypothetically, other agents said “Don’t shoot, we have him under control.” Yet the LEO shot anyways?

From the video, no. But that could be put under further review.

The reason I bring this up is because from the context of your post and others who claim “this is a bad shoot” is the common theme seems to be this odd frame by frame investigation of millisecond timing and exact position of the protester’s gun to determine justification of deadly force, when it’s more than that.

Thanks, god bless. Also, lol at internet e-celebrities pretending to be detectives and not retarded niggers eating out each others butts while playing brain dead computer games all day.

Standard P226s also don't lend themselves well to optics, much to my chagrin (you have to fuck with the firing pin retaining pin to mill the slide iirc). The giant closed emitter on there is unlikely to be able to mount well on one, and is much more likely to be on a 320.

Forever sad the company that made/makes my favorite metal hammer fired pistol is responsible for the 320. The 365 is pretty alright I guess.

The average military member gets range training once every 3 years.

Yet you're worried about Bob the Rando being armed because he only goes to the range to practice 12 times a year?

You really don't want average military members policing either. A lot of roles train only to defend themselves when it's a last resort.

The military isn't really designed for policing the rules of martial law are so plan because any subtle is lost when you ask people to go beyond what they should do.

This thread has by far come the closest to provoking a serious, genuinely angry rant from me during my time on this website.

But I have work in the morning, so I'll just say this:

Where the fuck do you get that range traing once every 3 years? Maybe air force. Army and navy is once a year to qual. Know in the Corps you do at least a week brushing up on marksmanship fundamentals and then shoot the next week, with a 3rd for remediation if needed.
Of course I'm an old fart and they might of changed it since I was in 20+ years ago.

Looks like this is a migger L

So Pretti felt someone take his gun, reached to where it was to confirm it's missing, and ICE interpretted that as reaching for a gun?

That tilts it into an understandable accident on ICE's part for me.

 

[IrishGuy088]

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

Lets put you on the spot when some wannabe macho ANTIFA rocks up to you wearing a gun and you get into a melee struggle with several people where you or your friend or a bystander can be dead or maimed any second from any angle

No computer in front of you . No zoom feature, no photoshop, no instant playback. No hours or even minutes or even more than a few seconds to contemplate things. Tons of agents and protestors flailing about the guy who is also moving. obstructed vision body parts of various different people popping in and out. Other protestors screaming at you. The guy absolutely could kill you or someone else with his gun almost instantly and he might or might not, you have no benefit of hindsight.

Lets see how well you do.

I don't know why people think real life is Robocop or Arkham Knight.

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

Stand down to force ICE to defend themselves while amping up the mob against them so they can either be killed or a cheap pawn gets sacrificed to get them into trouble like this. Its a brilliant 'win-win' strategy.
