This was nothing less than a execution of an American citizen.

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I saw this posted on another thread and think it's a fantastic summary. I wish they had video links or gifs instead of stills but all if this is pretty easy to find. This is indefensible.

I'd say 'unbelievable' but it's very believable. They just fucking executed that guy.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Held him down and shot him in the back

[–] Biffsbraincell@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 day ago

Maced him, beat him on the head, held him down, shot him, then executed him. And people will still support them.

[–] arsCynic@piefed.social 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah that's cold blooded murder alright. This group of fat fucks couldn't even take one guy and so they killed him out of spite. It's going downhill with the USA at an accelerating pace.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was on the floor when he decided to start shooting? Thats even worse than I thought

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

And they maced him before that. This dude was virtually incapable of posing a threat. The DHS narrative is insane. He was fucking trying to help two women being shoved around by ice lol. Who can watch this and not see the diabolical lies?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope it gets uploaded to another place. Imgur compressed the ever living shit out of that.

When I see police shootings like this, I always wonder how unarmed British cops would handle such a situation. I'm against defunding the police in general, but defunding their gun budget I think would go a long, long way.

[–] toeknee@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

I think removing their union protections (I'm a union member and I don't think they should be afforded the same types of protections since they're not labor, they're the armed section of government who are the only ones allowed to use force on the citizens) and making them carry insurance would be a start. Then, moving their budget to do something about the fact that so many of their calls are to deal with mental health crises which they're not trained for. Plus, for as large as their budgets are, I'd expect better results in solving crimes. Lots of police departments average something like 25% solve rate which includes things like when people turn themselves in.

I'll say it again, until these people fear for their own lives, nothing will change.

This means peaceful protest is not the answer. Sorry.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Americans get very upset when you point out what theyre doing isnt enough. Its like the myth of American exceptionalism will magically protect them from reality.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I get it because I used to be that way. I've hand-waved a lot in my life because I naively felt the swinging pendulum would balance things. I believed shit like good always prevails, taking the high-road will pay off, etc.

But as I dug into it more and learned more and saw more, it is undeniable what is actually happening. We've been on a bad path for a long, long time and the slow frog boil has duped many.

And because things are so far gone at this point, what used to appear to work won't anymore. What comforts and conveniences some of us used to be able to somewhat hide behind no longer exists.

Sadly, I'm not sure a critical mass of people are ready to face and accept this reality. I'll be honest, part of me barely is, but most of me knows the truth. I also know my line of work gives me the luxury of being able to care and take a step back sometimes - not everyone has that and it is purposely manufactured to be that way.

This was a public execution.

He was legally armed.

They disarmed him.

~~Placed him in handcuffs.~~ He may not have been cuffed, a different angle video I can’t see his hands behind his back. It originally looked like they cuffed him on the ground.

Then shot him on the ground repeatedly.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

So I've been out all day and haven't seen videos yet, but I didn't know he was already disarmed. At that point what does it even matter that he had a gun, wtf. A gun has nothing to do with the murder.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Okay I got home and saw the video now. That's fucking insane and straight up murder. Like why did they even shoot multiple times after the first shot, he was laying on the ground wtf.

Edit: Also same with with the Ross murder. That first shot, maybe he thought he was in danger even though he literally put himself in that danger through incompetence, but then he shoots her twice more when no longer in danger. The same thing happened here. I can't tell what happened in that first shot, but the next shots, he was on the ground and no danger. Are they taught to triple shoot people if they shoot or something like wtf. Like leave no survivors?

Edit: Seen some other videos now, guess it was more than just the 3 shots I heard in the first one, fucking bonkers.

The fascists wouldn't behave this way if they thought there was any chance of repercussions.

I guarantee they will be outside polling places wherever the constituents have IQs above room temperature.

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Seems like they need to fear repercussions.

Since I'm in Canada and safe from the five eyes bullshit now...

Do ICE agents have radio systems? My observation is that many don't. What happens if you manage to separate a couple of them?

Do they go outside to smoke when they're at their hotels? Getting shot at on a smoke break seems pretty scary. What if ICE agents started to disappear?

What they want for their civil war is a character they can point to as a central villain. If agents get picked off and no one gets caught, they don't have the character they need for the story they want to tell.

I sincerely wish there was more I could do. Good luck.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Do NOT even SUGGEST hurting these MEN! That would ESCALATE things and Then they might Start MURDERING AMERICANS IN COLD BLOOD!

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

I actually agreed with this sentiment until fairly recently, but it turns out these guys are so fucking stupid that everyone is in danger just by having them around.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 1 day ago

They might start shooting people in the face or the back. Do not resist ICE or they could knock down doors and drag people away without warrants.

Here's a multi angle link that's being updated regularly as new video comes in.

Anyone know of tools to combine multi angle videos into a 3d animation?

Murder is the technical term for what happened

So far what's been identified is the murder victim was a 37-year-old white male, a resident of Minneapolis, with no criminal past beyond traffic tickets and a legal gun owner.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They’ve declared war, it’s time to start making ice melt

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Love how they all back away like nope

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

In that moment, they learned this is real life. They all clearly aren't trained. If they were to be attacked by someone else with a real weapon, they would literally piss themselves. They should not be in the position they are in, where that is a real potential outcome in their line of work.

They're also all going to have that memory seared into their minds for the rest of the years, whether they face real consequences or not. I hope the trauma ends their lives early as well, if I were then I'd be thinking about turning the gun on myself after doing that to an innocent man. But then again, I'm a human being

State sponsored domestic terrorism

Minnesota needs to recall their congresspeople. Like tell them to come home. Then other states need to follow. Refuse to participate.

Congratulations! You have reached the next stage of your descent into fascism! Now opponents of the dictator will be shot!

Service information: if you wish to stop fascism before you reach the death camp/ world annihilation stage now, you got to use: Violent and extreme measures against the dictator and his cronies.

Don't worry about. The second amendment crowd is about to stop them. I have been assured by decades of talk that they all needed to keep their guns and use the second amendment to protect and defend the Constitution.

[–] JHRD1880@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Any moment now.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They claim he had a gun, obviously. From the video it's impossible to tell if he did.

To be precise, they claim 'they were approach by a man with a gun' and that 'officers tried to disarm the man but ended up shooting him dead.' which is obviously a lie. They attacked him and tried to arrest him for protesting. By the time they might have noticed a gun (if he had one) 5 guys were already trying to pin him down. Cold blooded murder.

[–] madde@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I've found this to be a rather good summary of the multiple videos in circulation: https://resistmap.substack.com/p/they-took-his-gun-then-they-shot

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Time to start shooting back
