Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says he has spoken to the White House after "another horrific shooting by federal agents", and is demanding President Donald Trump "pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota"

Demonstrators are gathering in Minneapolis, with images showing clashes with law enforcement

    Yup. They attacked him for interfering with their assault of another woman, disarmed him (of a weapon he was legally carrying, never presented, and never reached for), then murdered him while he was being held down/restrained.

    Now they’re trying to claim, without evidence, that he brandished and/or intended to use that weapon on agents, justifying his murder.

      What’s super gross is how so many MAGAts on Facebook are jumping immediately to defend the shooting. All of a sudden “don’t tread on me” became “he should have just listened to authority.”
