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.

You can't explain this to retards without them calling you a bootlicker though, which is a term so thoroughly redditorized that the moment I see it used I automatically assume the person in question is a retard.

Bootlickers are people who disagree with me on the internet, and they should be murdered and/or raped. Perferably both.

As with many other words Leftists use, the point isn't to communicate. They use the word as if they're a magic spell. They think they're putting a curse on you.

All the lefty Americans who I follow on Instagram are all talking about getting guns. I know it’s a LARP for them and they’re more than likely to kill themselves with a firearm than they are to hurt someone else, but even a Europoor like me is noticing a massive ramping up of their rhetoric.

Some weirdo is going to take all this cosplaying as revolutionaries seriously and is going to start shootings soon. It doesn’t help that these weirdos can find each other online and band together either.

Dropping the mask for a second, but I love America. It’s a beacon of hope and it’s showing us Europeans what we should be doing.

This needs to be stomped on now. I know it’s politically convenient to let this escalate so the government gets a proper casus belli to go after the radicals, but your letting them organise and equip.

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.

Charlie Kirk should have woken the Republicans up but you are heading towards your own version of the Years of Lead and no one seems to have the will to stop it.

TL;DR stay safe, Burgers, get things under control.

1. They aren't "roaming" or looking for easy prey leftist agitators are going up and starting violence with them
2. They are masked because leftist agitators kept doxing their homes and family members so they could be targeted for harassment and or violence.

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.

Shut up, you dumb faggot.

The Philando case arguably had some factors less in favor of the officer.

Yeah, in that video the cop was clearly in the wrong. Same with the David Shaver video, and the Tony Timpa video is arguably worse than the St. George Floyd video.

I looked into Minnesota to see what their laws were, and it's what I thought. Minn. Stat. § 624.714, subdivision 1b.

Yeah, libtards have wrecked this state. Maybe in other states you can carry without a permit, but you cannot in Minnesota and, presumably, other blue states.

Granted, this behavior is likely to continue because these idiots think they're the next Confederacy (but not the racist kind).

Spoiler: Undercover reporter learning that protesters want guns and explosives

The lesbo bitch that got merc'd has already been forgotten about and she was at least a woman and lesbian which, according to the "progressive stack", gives her at least at least +1.5 oppression points.

But she wasn't black, so it goes against the narrative that BLM has been pushing for a while now that blacks are constantly getting killed by cops and white people just don't get it because they never get killed. The idea that cops might just be trigger-happy, colorblind buffanoons who shoot at anything regardless of race, sex, or even species ("I swear that elderly Chihuahua was a threat to my life!") just doesn't enter their heads. It has to fit the narrative that only blacks are thusly oppressed.

LegalEagle wants to be a breadtuber so fuckin' bad. I guess maybe he technically is by now? But christ, I think I'd rather watch a whole Hasan stream while being forced to drink soy than listen to 5 seconds of LegalEagle's performative behavior and clickbait video topics. He's slimier than a snail crawling up Bonnie Blue's snatch.

LegalEagle watches videos of Jacob Frey kneeling and crying before George Floyd's coffin and screams at the screen, "NOTICE ME, SENPAI!"

Okay I just have to rant here for a second one of my biggest pet peeves is when right-wing people use leftie lie language in their lexicon. Illegal aliens ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS. My Danish great-grandparents who legally applied for residency here and gained citizenship were immigrants. Mexican gang bangers who jumped the border here to sell meth and fent are not immigrants they are illegal alien criminals who are not immigrating but are here to make money, send it home, then fuck off.

If I took a trip to Japan and just decided to stay would I be considered an "immigrant" or an American who was illegally in the country of Japan?

That's what they don't get. If you or I went to Japan and overstayed, we'd be racially profiled by cops, stopped, and deported. And guess what? They wouldn't care or take to the streets to fight for your right to stay. They hate even immigrants who have relocated legally to Japan because they aren't suicidally empathetic. They'll deport you for overstaying or for deciding your degenerate tranny self needs to use the women's hot springs for validation - your liberal talking points about open borders and pronouns isn't going to work on them.

It's retarded to assume that illegal aliens are in any way legit immigrants. However, it is convenient to liberals to lump them all together. After all, this allows them to say that if you don't want Jose, who is in the country illegally and has a habit of brandishing a knife like a crazed meth-head whenever someone walks by his house, to be allowed to stay in your country, it means that you don't like immigrants and have forgotten that we're a nation of immigrants.

That's the question """they""" don't want you to ask.

It's too bad they can't protest unless it's either about niggers or infinity niggers and even then only when supported by NGOs/media/glowniggers etc

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

I think we might have a very, VERY gruesome money laundering scheme on our hands.
Think about it. Learing centers are compromised. Instead, kill a random deranged libtard every week, set up a GFM, collect a million bucks from "grieving citizens", repeat.

Or, even worse, they're going to take their fucking kid and the kid's gonna get hurt. They'll shoot, ICE will retaliate, some kid will die and it just blows up.

They truly don't know what "fascism" is. They have NO IDEA how good they fucking have it. And they absolutely are going to take this fucking LARPing to another level.

Watch the Renee Good video, her damn wife literally yells "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO USE REAL BULLETS?" Like....bitch this isn't a SIM. This is real life. Going to protest is one thing. Going and obstructing law enforcement AND THEN GETTING PHYSICALLY INVOLVEED is a whole other. And I would bet my life that this is "the plan" from some of the organizers high up enough. These morons don't see they're being pawns, and they're fucking dying for shit they don't understand.

People who have, historically, had to fight against ACTUAL AUTHORATARIAN REGIMES didn't just go marching around "HEY YOU'RE BAD STOP ::WHITSLE WHISTLE WHISTLE::" because those regimes would gun them ALL DOWN. Not just 1 for trying to hit them with a car or 1 in a cluterfuck fight. They'd MOW THEM ALL DOWN. These fucking idiots have NO CLUE how good they have it. Likewise, real resistance fighters of those regimes had to be SMART. Going around with a whistle would be a death sentence. They very much WOULD NEVER bring their kids with. They played it smart, worked hard, and didn't act like 12 year olds who are mad they're not getting chicken nuggies for dinner.

The LARPing is so fucking annoying, it's the most irritating and disingenuous shit. I wish these fucks would get air dropped into North Korea or some shit.

Poorly trained in what context though? Cause this is the cope i see whenever a leftie gets thrown to the ground after ramming their vehichle into them or blocking them from driving.

Also are you not tired of the "when the pendelum swings back!" cope? Its that stupid shit that stops good policies from passing, like universal healthcare under the dems.Newflash: THE OPPOSITION IS GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY

That a downsyndrome dude?

 

[KrumBum]

I see "they're poorly trained mall cops" but my understanding is most of the ICE Agents on the ground, like out there with guns doing enforcement, are actual cops/military etc. not some rando cosplayer. I'm too lazy to look into it, Farms, we got anything on that?

 

[DreinMeinVein]

Granted, this behavior is likely to continue because these idiots think they're the next Confederacy (but not the racist kind).

I called it a few years ago, and I bet many others did too: the lefty-libs will start getting violent.
Whether it's the trannies watching their cult lose power, or the pro-immigration lot dealing with the government pushback against too many illegal Somalis, the violence will increase.
We've seen them call their enemies bigots, then Nazis, and then genocidal. They think it's their moral duty.

This is becoming the standard leftist M.O. now. They're lashing out in a big way. They'll call their dead martyrs, but they've successfully killed others who'd disagree with them. Remember, they believe they're up against "Nazis". Just like the Nazis we fought in WW2, apparently.

This dumb Alex Pritti bastard didn't quite do enough to deserve death, but he did bring it upon himself when he took his gun to a silly protest and battled with ICE.
Renee Good didn't deserve her fate, but the silly cow was asking for it when she fucked around. And these aren't even the ones who recently killed or attempted to kill their political opposition.

They just felt entitled because they were "resisting fascists". There will be more, guaranteed.

"Poorly trained" is just an NPC shibboleth. They say it because their masters say it. There is no comprehension behind their words. Don't bother trying to figure out what they mean, because they don't mean anything at all.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

I haven't paid much attention to this since you know football is more important and it was Championship weekend. My understanding was that he was legally armed and not brandishing or threatening, but he was being an annoying twat with his phone out recording. ICE didn't know he was armed until a group of them tackled him and started pistol whipping him, at which point, he was disarmed and then while unarmed, he was shot a few times. It all happened quickly. So there's what we know I guess.

Here's what is up to interpretation; Was it smart to be armed at a protest, especially if you're there to antagonize armed people? I mean, I wouldn't do it simply out of self-preservation. 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?

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely pathetic.

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

They truly don't know what "fascism" is.

Fascism is when you aren't replacing white people fast enough or when a law reddit doesn't agree with gets enforced.

Fucking literally. That's the working definition in the 21st century.

When real fascism shows up, if it ever does, you won't hear it condemned above a whisper if at all.

Words from someone whose never physically wrestled with a other.

Pro tip, it's actually pretty hard to subdue a person without causing injury to them. That's why you always see 3-4+ dudes in police bodycams trying to arrest someone.
