Hey Mike, Great seeing you on Tuesday. Is anyone tracking the whereabouts of the J6 pardoned felons? If so, how many of them have signed on to ICE, hence the need to wear masks? Yesterday's shooting was dirty, and the "officer" involved will eventually be found and prosecuted; if not federally, then by the good people of Minnesota. He can't hide forever, and eventually his identity will be leaked. Trumpstein may pardon him of federal charges, but as we all know, that means $#!+ in State court.

best to be prosecuted if possible by the State if the felon in the WH doesn't hold rights to pardon in a state legal case

The officer was found and named but apparently nothing's going to happen to him. According to the cartoon character Noem, he was "protecting" himself. What a friggin' liar! Anyone that saw the video could tell that the shooter was not hurt nor was he in any trouble from the driver. This administration has got to go and go immediately. Start the proceedings!

Thank you Michael. There are so many things wrong with this event it's hard to put them all in words. Multiple videos show her sitting next to a silver SUV in the middle of the road. She's trying to leave the scene but she had to stop her car because ICE agents were letting other vehicles drive around her. In one video she waits as two vehicles drive by in front of her and as the ICE pickup truck approaches she waves for them to proceed in front of her as well. But they decide to stop and confront her. As they approach and try to open her door she tries to pull away, because that's what she was doing all along, but another ICE agent had stupidly walked in front of her vehicle. She sees him and turns her car to the right to avoid him but he shoots her.

It is outrageous she was shot. It's outrageous they provided no medical attention and prevented bystanders from doing so. It's outrageous that Trump and Noem immediately called her a terrorist, without having any facts, before even a preliminary investigation could be done.

Sadly, this was inevitable and even sadder is that their terrorism against us will continue.

Before they even knew her name she was labeled a”domestic terrorist”.

Does anyone know if ICE agents are the guys police departments would not hire.

Deploying 2000 ICE orcs is one way circumvent the constitutional ban on deploying the military against American citizens

Thanks Mike. I'm sorry this young woman had to die in order to get people inflamed. 10 other people were shot at. How many of them were white? Sorry to bring this up but it's trump that brought it up! He's quite willing to demonise brown and black people and now white citizens too. He's actually calling this mother of 3 who had lost her husband and now her child don't have either parent! She wasn't doing anything wrong and was trying to get away from them. The video shows that clearly. Yet this ICE agent shot her 3 times through her side window. He had extending his arm full length and with the extension of the gun he was AT LEAST 2 feet away from her vehicle. He was shown walking towards the car after it crashed and then giving the "lets roll" sign to the others. So why did trump in his truth social message say he almost died of his injuries after being run over by the vehicle? He lied which is not surprising, what is surprising is that nobody has contradicted him! The shooter clearly was not injured at all never mind being at deaths door which he implied. The POTUS is very insane and needs to be removed immediately before more people die because of his outright racial prejudice. This behaviour from him cannot be allowed to continue. Renee Good was there to protect people and was shot in cold blood! Nuff said.

We are witnessing the fruits of the Republican Party's full support of a psychopath they refused to convict during 3 impeachments. I hope Republicans are happy.

Frankly Pete I don’t believe Banana Republicans give a shit as long as trump allows them to make money until the water gets too hot then they will “retire for the sake of spending more time with my family” bullshit! Some have already quit, some are waiting to see if anymore fruit falls from the money tree before they also “retire.”

It's not possible for us to blindly trust or feel secure around ANYONE in uniform thanks to ICE, Kristi Noem, the FBI and others in The Regime. ICE and the National Guard from other states to our cities have hurt the reputation of the good men and women in law enforcement and forced Americans to wonder if even our local police are serving us first and last.

When I was a kid growing up in the 1950's-60's, going to a police officer was a safe and good thing to do for anything--even getting lost. How could anyone trust going to a cop nowadays, especially a masked one?

I also grew up in the 50’s & 60’s and were taught that the police were safe. Then I grew up and married a city cop who was an alcoholic, wife beater and all around chameleon. People who knew said nothing. I eventually got away after a good beating in the basement laundry room where no one could hear my cries for help. I fled wearing only a t-shirt…no underwear, no pants, no shoes, no purse. We lived in the county, so I had to get the Sheriff’s Department to take me home to stand guard while I gathered a few things. I know not all cops are bad, but plenty of them are. It’s the protect their own mentality. He was promoted to lieutenant shortly after the incident. Consequences? They don’t have any stinkin’ consequences. Nor will Krusty Gnome I fear.

OMG, what a horrible story. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Thinking about this more, back then, bad things did happen a lot, like sexual abuse, and they weren't disclosed as easily or as readily. It's like the clergy who hide behind their cloth... The camaraderie of those groups coverup each other. We have to be so careful of who we trust. When we are young, we are extra vulnerable. Sometimes it's just our nature to be too trusting. My husband still tells me from time to time that I trust people too much. Thanks for sharing your story. Be well.

A deranged person can use the masks and ICE-labeled uniforms to commit heinous crimes and get away with it.

ICE agents and police should adhere to procedure and be accountable to the same standards as citizens. Leaving the scene of an accident is just one of many examples. Law and order of its true meaning has been and continued to be abused under Trump.

The Trump administration is a regime of hate. But they hate their fellow Americans the most if they voice any opposition to their corrupted and illegal acts.

Just in support of your comment...

I heard on a news program that ice had seen her pulling over to warn some bystanders that there were ice agents in the area. Nothing more. They out and out murdered her over that.

As Due Dissidence has said in passing, what Trump is doing hasn't approached Obama’s numbers in deportations.

Thanks Michael. What can we do? If my life is at risk because of unrestrained iceholes, my instinct is to protect myself, and others from harm being done. It appears that these idiots are accountable to nobody; therefore, I intend to protect myself, Some will say my attitude is exactly what Ice and the orange turd want, and that we need to be peaceful. This is asymmetric thinking. Enough is enough.

You nailed it man. I'm a lifelong Minneapolis resident. I know this city inside and out and I can tell you it's one of the greatest cities in America. We look out for each other, for all our neighbors and don't need any more of this shit in our town. Thank you for helping to break through the noise and obfuscation tactics of the executive.
