I realize there’s another post of this already, but this is a longer video with a better view.

Edit: Changed the post so it no longer points to Youtube. Thanks u/Canconda! Original link was https://youtu.be/K9CJY5p0xz4

    Witnesses say a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but ICE agents refused to let him through. Around 10–15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles occupying the street, per FOX 9 Minnesota

    If every person video’ing this was armed and standing ready on the sidewalk, ICE could not do this.

    The fuck is the point of a second amendment if not to stop state-sponsored terrorism?

      I have guns, but even if I had concealed carry permits, I wouldn’t feel comfortable carrying them around with me.

      I am not white. All I need is one panicked ICE to go, “oh my god, brown person with gun!”, and that’ll be the end of me

      2A. Also, even armed. You’re outgunned. You start shooting, you’re dead. You go down with a quick video scroll and no Congressional action. Is that worth your life?

      I agree though, if everyone was armed and united against this shit. That’s a different story.

        They’ve made very clear today if you are in physical proximity of a fascist, your life is at risk. Best to assume you’re ‘going down’ regardless of action or reaction at this point.

        (was anger typing fast and not thinking, thanks for the 2A catch)

        I’m talking about an organized group of community members, neighbors, all standing together. I’ve seen about angles on this so far. That’s 9 people who at least thought it was important to document and resist. But that form of documentation and resistance depends on the fundamentals of liberalism to hold; that governments follow the law, that courts are impartial, that those in power actually believe in the country they control as a principal: those principals have not held.

        The government does not follow its own law, due process is basically dead (case in point, this), and neither Trump nor any Republican (and half the Democrats) politician or voter actually believes in America as an institution of Democracy any longer.

        It’s a gamble. But I assume ICE agents still want to live. If you have even half the armed count they do, I would imagine they may think twice about opening fire. Although that is assuming ICE thinks…

    Trump’s official response, for anyone who needed to be even more pissed off at these fuckers.

      this is undeniable evidence that he is both a liar and/or senile

      you cannot reasonably come to those conclusions after watching that video

      of course this is hardly the first undeniable evidence, and people still aren’t going to care enough
