It was in his waistband, at the small of his back. You can see an agent lift his shirt and take the gun, then you hear the first shot. Agent with his gun runs away, other agents magdump on the man.

Exercising Constitutional rights is now a capital offense in The People’s Republic of MAGAstan.

Free speech? Death.
Free assembly? Death.
Keep or bear arms. Death.
Privacy? Death.

Homeland Security shares account of fatal shooting The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents were conducting a "targeted operation" in Minneapolis at 9:05 a.m. Saturday looking for "an illegal alien wanted for violent assault."

"An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun," the agency said in a statement. "The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."

"Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the department's statement continued. "Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene."

DHS said the man had two magazines and "no ID" and that more information would be coming.

I'm afraid that's what it will take. I'm also afraid that's what will start the next Civil War.

I’m sure they’ve taken Tim’s stern criticism on board and will begin withdrawing ICE from the state any day now.

What exactly can the National Guard do? Can they be instructed to resist ICE presence? Genuinely asking.

Get the terrorists in there to help the people against the nazis

It's a game of chicken. Whomever blinks first loses and starts a further escalation.

California started restricting guns when the Black Panthers started exercising their 2A rights..

But don’t you see…their 2A fervor ends when applied universally, because they believe it was intended for them to use against their perceived enemies.

Systemic white supremacy

"The only moral ___ is my ___" is a template applied to many things by right-wingers. Abortion, gun, healthcare, insurrection...

While we're at it, we should thank Pelosi (California), Clyburn (Worst Carolina), and other DNC leadership bigwigs for personally going to Texas to make sure that the anti-choice, anti-trans, and ridiculously corrupt Cuellar beat his progressive challenger Jessica Sisneros who was winning before they put their thumb on the scale.

Whoa whoa whoa. You're missing the most important inflammatory point. He approached them "with a 9mm handgun ^being legally carried and holstered like a responsible gun owner and it had been removed from his possession prior to his murder defensive shots^".

also gauging how far they instigate more violent actions, if no resistance they will keep doing it.

If possible, do it from where they can't see you.

The system will never be on our side. Just like this guy was murdered for exercising constitutional rights, any open resistance will be met with overwhelming force.

It's time to learn from those who have experience fighting a much more powerful enemy.

And they’re pretending that he was brandishing the gun/had it illegally. Just came out that he had a permit to carry.

That was an execution.

The first one was overkill.

The man was on the ground already when the first shot happened. I call total bullshit on the narrative DHS and ICE are trying to cook up.
