    I don’t give a shit about the NFL, and it would be good for them to acknowledge this, but that’s an arbitrary expectation. 

    Maybe if the Vikings were playing, sure. But stuff happens everyday and not everything is acknowledged always by companies and organizations. And if you are expecting stuff like that to happen you are just setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration .

    That’s why I thought it should be / can be the beginning of the end of this government, if they stick to their view and not come up with very different actions. The government vs the audio+video footage looks ridiculous and is disgusting and has ultimate potential to cross a personal line of many people.

    I saw the news about the latest victim incl. video+audio footage (two sources) 15 hours ago. The big questions were all about a gun, was a gun in the hand of the man or not. There was a government statement (armed/defense action/surrounding people in danger) and a photo of a gun - placed on a passenger seat in a car!?

    Just checked for updates. New video footage showed up (11 hours ago) filmed from a different angle, the beginning is much clearer now.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cp372pqq2rloy

    All three sources combined. A gun in the hands or not is still unclear but the beginning is without gun / any weapon in the hands of the man (and woman) for sure.

    He was NOT holding the gun.
    He was holding...wait for it... his phone.
    The gun was in a holster on his waistband.
    The agent is seen taking the gun 2-3 seconds before they murdered him.

    Supposedly the picture of the gun and clip on the car seat is a dhs /ice stock photo.

    Either way he was MURDERED

    ALTNATPARKSERVICE adbook post

    Minnesota is suing the federal government after federal immigration officers shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti on a public street in Minneapolis and then blocked state and local authorities from investigating that death. The lawsuit, brought by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, states that the fatal shooting occurred on January 24, 2026, during a federal immigration enforcement operation and that when state investigators arrived, federal personnel ordered them to leave and denied them access to the scene and critical evidence. Federal agents reportedly seized cell phones and detained witnesses, but it is unclear whether they properly processed the scene or preserved evidence before leaving, which Minnesota officials say allowed the perimeter to collapse and increased the risk that key evidence was lost or spoiled.

    Minnesota argues that this conduct contradicts longstanding practice and cooperation between state and federal law enforcement and interferes with its core sovereign responsibility to investigate potential violations of state criminal law. The complaint contends that federal authorities have taken exclusive possession of evidence and continue to refuse access, even though state and local law enforcement need that evidence to determine what happened in the shooting of Alex Pretti and whether any state crimes were committed.

    The state also notes that this is not an isolated incident, pointing to an earlier January 2026 shooting of Renee Good by a federal agent, after which the federal government revoked Minnesota’s access to evidence and declined to pursue an independent investigation. Minnesota says those events, coupled with the handling of the Pretti shooting, demonstrate a pattern of federal interference that violates the Tenth Amendment and basic principles of federalism by preventing the state from carrying out its police powers within its own borders.

    Through the lawsuit, Minnesota is asking a federal court to declare the federal government’s actions unconstitutional, to enjoin federal agencies from destroying, altering, or concealing any evidence related to Pretti’s death, and to require them to provide full access to the evidence so state investigators can fulfill their duties. The complaint also seeks costs and attorneys’ fees and any other relief the court deems appropriate.

    Everything I have seen and read indicates exactly what you said.  In fact, Pretti's gun had been taken from him before he was shot murdered.  
    And as Heather Cox Richardson pointed out, it's not just ICE.  These killers were DHS.  She stated that the DHS people are more violent than ICE.
    What a fucking mess.  We are in deep shit in America.

    in this framing it suggests that dhs presence amd action is unlawful.....

    Attorney General Pam Bondi outlined terms to “restore the rule of law” in Minnesota, just hours after a second person was fatally shot by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. 

    In the letter, Bondi pressed Walz to hand over information about the state’s welfare programs amid mounting scrutiny over a massive fraud scandal, get rid of immigration sanctuary policies and let the Department of Justice see voter rolls “to confirm that Minnesota’s voter registration practices comply with federal law.”

    they are looking for an off ramp so they can declare some sort of victory and be done with this (even they know this is a VERY bad look for the admin). the voter roll thing is crazy.

    Just to fill the gap in this thread.

    wiki-quoted: Minnesota is a "shall issue" state for Permit(s) to Carry a Pistol openly or concealed.

    • Landlords may not restrict the lawful carry or possession of firearms by tenants or their guests.
    • Private establishments can ban any firearms and must post a legal notice banning guns on their premises or personally notify patrons that guns are not allowed. (624.714 Subd. 17.b1)
    • Sheriff's departments which wrongfully deny an applicant (as determined by the courts) are responsible for reimbursing legal fees incurred by applicant.

    Restrictions

    • Must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
    • Must complete an application
    • Must not be prohibited from possessing a firearm under Minnesota Statute 624.714 (Criminal background & mental health history check)
    • Must not be listed in the criminal gang investigation system
    • If a Minnesota resident, must reside in the county in which the application for a permit is made; non-residents may apply to any Minnesota county sheriff.
    • Must present evidence of training in the safe use of a pistol. (Training completed within one year of an original or renewal application. – 624.714, Subd. 2a)

    Places Prohibited by statute

    • K-12 School property
    • A childcare center while children are present
    • State correctional facilities or state hospitals and grounds (MN Statute 243.55)
    • Any jail, lockup or correctional facility (MN Statute 641.165)

    This is probably the craziest thing I’ve seen.
    So many things went wrong here. Why were they so aggressive with the woman and shoved her to the ground when she clearly posed no threat? Why did they mace them both when they were on the ground? Why did so many agents tackle him after being maced? 
    Even if he did reach for his gun, which I don’t believe he did, why was DHS and ICE the aggressors to bring it to that point?
    And the immediate defense of this, claiming he was waiving a gun around despite no video showing that. A border patrol officer is on CNN right now claiming he was there to carry out a plan to massacre the agents, the whole narrative is worse than any of the others I think. It should be stated policy to not comment immediately after an incident like this, not make claims that can be easily proven false from multiple videos.

    She knows her shit and is clearly passionate. I was shocked when I saw her on CNN. I think she just started out making facebook videos. 

    What I dislike is how she routinely faces off against Scott jennings, who just sits there smirking while she yells at him. You just know the misogynistic white guys hate-watching cnn just see her as a hysterical woman with no brains. 

    I prefer watching the one lib woman on fox routinely school those jokers (I don’t watch fox but I see the clips in my facebook feed). 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer
