ICE told to get the eff out

I meant that the phrase 'no accessible ID' is meaningless nonsense. It is an acceptance that he actually did have ID.

Not at all, he shouldn't have been shot in my opinion, it was entirely avoidable.

By not having paramilitary thugs with a free ticket to murder out and about.

@fillyboy

I might be wrong on that. It does seem to be a technical term used in the USA when police and medics etc. can't find an ID. I still think it is likely they are lying, though.

One of the main Republican candidates for governor of Minnesota has withdrawn:

Chris Madel, a defense lawyer who had been running for governor of Minnesota as a Republican, said he had decided to end his campaign because he had become outraged by the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

The operation “has departed so far from the stated goals that it is simply a disaster,” Mr. Madel said in an interview on Monday, two days after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, in the city. “People are living in fear, and it needs to end,” Mr. Madel said.

Mr. Madel, who had voiced support for stronger immigration enforcement when he started his campaign, said he found federal agents to be acting lawlessly in Minnesota.

He didn't resist. He let the agent push him in the chest and was completely passive, letting himself be pushed back about twenty feet. The only time he interfered was later on, in order to try to help a woman who had been shoved to the floor.

He didn't get in the way. He was filming from a distance and the officer approached him and started to shove him.

He was told to get off the road twice. He didn’t obey the commands and thought he would just continue to be a pain. He had his warnings and then became violent and resisting arrest. What do you expect to happen after that. He wasn’t as friendly and nice towards ice doing their job. People will have to learn to do as they are told.

Trying to help that woman seems to have been his only mistake. A certain type of man doesn't like that sort of thing.

The usual 'men' on here appear to be arguing just that - it was his fault. So I guess that sums them up!

And 'don't get involved' seems to be their response to brutality meted out to fellow human beings...

'First they came for' etc etc...

The usual suspects don't seem to get it that the US has crossed the line, and they by condoning the actions of the ICE militia are ideal fascist fodder!

Nobody is doing that.

Here we go again...

Read back through the recent posts (applicable to this murder) and you'll see exactly the opposite!

Some people just can't face up to their refusal to look at the incident with an open mind and then try to defend the indefensible...

Including their own comments!

Apparently not true. He's withdrawing from Minneapolis but hasn't been relieved of his duties ... yet.

Only a matter of time...

"Bovino had been stripped of his specially created title of “commander at large” of the border patrol and would return to his former job as a chief patrol agent"

Demotion before his possible/probable final fall...

"Critics have called him a would-be Napoleon and mocked his “Nazi” aesthetic, but with Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant surge into Minneapolis, Gregory Bovino seemed to have found the political moment he had long been seeking.

Bovino, 55, a senior US border patrol official, initially rose to prominence as the figurehead of immigration crackdowns in Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities.

But his provocatively unapologetic utterances in Minneapolis after the shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old American citizen, by border patrol officers propelled him to a new level of notoriety that finally exceeded the tolerance even of the Trump administration.

With the White House under intense pressure amid a fierce backlash against Pretti’s fatal shooting, Bovino – rather than being lionised – has become an early casualty of the Trump administration’s efforts to change its posture. Officials revealed that he was to be withdrawn from his frontline role in the midwestern city. He was expected to be pulled out as Tom Homan, Trump’s “border tsar”, was sent in to oversee the operation on the ground"

No doubt negotiating his retirement/pension/blood money as we speak

No they are simply recognising the contribution and consequences of the dead man’s actions.
