« Minnesotans are going to be insufferable for a while

Another man shot in South Minneapolis

It’s definitely not over. Federal agents clubbed a demonstrator to the ground and shot him at point blank range this morning. They’re saturating the neighborhodd with tear gas now.

The federal agents are currently surrounded by protesters.

    I can’t keep up with Pharyngula. Once again.

    Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, witnesses say
    JANUARY 24, 2026

    A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.
    By Star Tribune staff
    The Minnesota Star Tribune

    Eyewitness: The agents wrestled the victim to the ground. Shot him at point blank range. And then emptied a gun into him.

    This was murder.

    Reports are he was unarmed, on the ground, shot 5 times, and is dead.

    There are videos of this murder. I refuse to watch them right now. They are horrible so you are warned, do what you want to.

    Right now, I’m so angry I can barely type this.
    Arrest these guys, charge them with murder. Now.

    The Minneapolis police just declared that the residents being outside yelling at murderers is an “ unlawful assembly”.
    I don’t think they care if the police think it’s unlawful to go outside your own home to yell at literal murderers.
    They live there. They are angry, and have every right to scream expletives.

    Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building. ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Police Chief O’Hara refused, sources said.

    O’Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene. The BCA was en route to the scene.

    Finally, one of the local officials in Minnesota and Minneapolis have stood up to the ICE terrorists.
    It was the Police Chief for Minneapolis, Brian O’Hara.

    I’m not sure what more Governor Walz or Mayor Frey could do but it is clear what they are doing now isn’t working.
    Press conferences and sternly worded letters haven’t done anything.

    They do have the Minneapolis police, State police, and Minnesota National Guard but I don’t know how an armed confrontation between the locals and ICE would work.

    I do appreciate that our local law enforcement is taking pains to differentiate their uniforms from the ICE and border patrol criminals.

    Man, the BBC is really trying to kiss Trump’s ass. The headline on their website: “Man dies in Minneapolis shooting involving federal immigration agents”.
