I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

[toast]

Lol...you left out George Floyd. Cops DID go to jail. Facts on that one slipped. GF was a criminal and an addict. The two men above you mentioned we not however.

The protesters are being paid by the left and George soros just like the 2020 riots . ICE AGENTS are being pushed to the limits just doing their jobs.

You play with fire. Youll die by it.

Moral of the story, just dont protest just to make money or defend illegals destroying the USA. Why is this so hard to understand?

"Lol...you left out George Floyd..." To me, the death of an individual, irrespective of their criminal record, is never a laughing matter. If my death in a geriatrica in CABA is a laughing matter to the staff, or to my family, by that time it won't matter to me.

I smile on the criminal brought to justice but shed tears to the victim of said criminal. Remember there is always a victim of the criminal, people love to forget this.

We are living in an upside down world, truly incredible how people rationalize things . Disturbing in fact.

These videos (if accurate) may shed some light on what is happening in Minneapolis:

I'll just put this here...

"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. - Hannah Arendt

ICE seems to be hiring just about any warm body, as shown by Laura Jedeed's undercover reporting:

That amount of daily false Ai manipulated information that is posted to YT and social media is incredible. All of it created far away from the issue only so those posting can get rich from gullible people clicking on the links. Why trust these fakes, when you can read the real news? Even the Wall Street Journal who is often a MAGA favorite has clearly analyzed and reported the opposite of the story the US government is attempting to spin.

Somehow, someway, this thread will end up killing a great platform. BA EXPATS

These US gun violence stories always baffle me.
A person with a gun (in this case a protestor) goes to place where there are other people with guns (in this case ICE agents) and said people get into an altercation... then there is shock that someone rightly or wrongly got shot? (E.g. either the protestor or the ICE agent?)
It may be legal to have a gun on you but that also implies there is a risk you apply an illegal criteria, known only to you, when it comes to deciding when and how to use it and thus cause someone to shoot you before you shoot them or visa-versa for simply misreading that criteria.

So happy we don't feel the need to bring guns with us to protests in Argentina! Just pots, pans and chori-pan... and occasionally a few tonnes of stones, menos mal at least.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to show up to a protest to interfere with any kind of law enforcement with a concealed weapon attached to your body. What on earth did this man expect? One of the first things you should declare when approached by an officer seeking to detain you is that you have a concealed firearm so you can surrender it safely. The legality of the detainment is something you have the right to discuss with an attorney in a legal setting. The last thing you want is to be resisting arrest and having your gun stumbled on halfway through trying to cuff you.
