Federal officer shoots man in leg after ‘ambush’ in Minneapolis, DHS says
A federal officer shot a Venezuelan man this evening in Minneapolis after what was described as an “ambush," the Department of Homeland Security said.
The officer had been conducting a targeted traffic stop at 6:50 p.m. local time when the man left in a vehicle, which crashed into a parked car, and then fled on foot, the department said in a statement.
As the officer pursued the man, who the department said was in the country illegally, he assaulted the officer, according to the statement.
During that struggle, two people came out of an apartment and attacked the officer with a snow shovel and broom handle, according to the statement.
The man got loose and also began attacking the officer with a shovel or broom stick, the department said.
“Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life,” the department said, adding that the man officers had been chasing was shot in the leg.
All three men barricaded themselves in the apartment but were taken into custody, according to the statement.
Both the man who was shot and the officer were hospitalized, the department said. Additional details about the incident were not immediately available.
Hakeem Jeffries from ~40 minutes ago. Talk about fucking tone deaf.
Hakeem Jeffries: “Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities.”
And the fucker can’t even talk like a human being: “Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself.”
the real victim here? taxpayers 😔
Oof.
Fuck-fuck-fuck-fuck-fuck fuckity fuck-fuck fuck
Re-form their heads into pancakes - that sounds like it might be significant enough to me.
He says…
“Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which I am conducting myself.”
…after his wife catches him cheating.
No doubt the extent of the conduct reform would be a divorce so he’s no longer cheating.
lol we need a remix of It Wasn’t Me with jeffries clips
Did fucking chatGPT write this? (not you, Hakeem Jeffries)
I actually had that vibe myself. Does he actually talk that way naturally or does he practice or something?
I think in 5 or 10 years time - we’ll have constant déjà vu because every political thing will have a weird vibe. Nobody wants to write that shit or spend much time on it. They’ll all be using AI. That gets “written” won’t be new but it won’t be exactly old either. It’ll be like a jpg put through a cheap app with a bug that made the image copied over itself a few times.
Maybe we shouldn’t discredit that kind of language too harshly. It’ll make liberals stand by a lot more while the revolution takes place.
Jefferies is a generational un-talent
A comment about the mayor’s press conference.
Here’s Jacob Frey & his police chief. Is Frey telling his police to protect his own residents? No! He’s letting his police chief order protestors to stop exercising their first amendment rights, and calling them “criminal demonstrators”
Even from a liberal perspective, the optics on this are awful. Leaving his citizens out to dry while he goes on TV to whine about it is going end his career.
Frey just got re-elected and he beat the dem-soc option Omar Fateh because screaming and crying about “crime is out of control” unfortunately works. We’re stuck with him for at least a few more years and by then I am sure people will forget all over again.
Eat the rich asap anyone? Anyone at all? Your tax dollars and representatives are literally working against you. Need dedicated street militias asap fr. Black panthers but on a much larger scale and not just black folks, everyone who would stand against the fascists. Only nazis and pdffiles are safe in America right now, this is reality, and the people need to change it. Mario’s brother, allegedly, knew how… Or am I wrong?
“Don’t take the bait” bro they are killing us and declared innocent without even a sham investigation, how the hell do these libs expect litigation will stop ICE? Are they really ignorant to the situation or just incapable of admitting it? I don’t recall who said it but at least the person who basically said “we’d stop them but they have bigger guns” was being honest.
That was Mayor Frey

CNN does not have a live updates page for Minneapolis. What the fuck. On the homepage there’s only a link to an article.
A solid 4 “pages” down before I even see it too.

They should ditch the joke and start throwing F1s.

What the fuck. Maybe it’s “just” an injury and not another murder but this is fishy as hell.
the offiseer was attacked by people with a shovel and a bromstick so he shot someone in the leg
Don’t forget “He was in fear for his life.” Just as he would be if somebody hit him with a snowball.
AS I BEGAN THIS BOOK during the summer of 2014, the human community witnessed systemic repetition of unjustified cruelty with exhaustion and frustration. We watched white police officers in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York murder two unarmed Black men: Michael Brown and Eric Garner. We watched a rich and powerful professional football player, Ray Rice, beat his wife, Janay, unconscious in an elevator. We watched the Israeli government mass murder over 2,000 Palestinian civilians in Gaza. It quickly became apparent that the methods we have developed collectively, to date, to understand these kinds of actions in order to avoid them, are not adequate.
As a novelist, in order to create characters that have integrity, I apply the principle that people do things for reasons, even if they are not aware of those reasons or even if they can’t accept that their actions are motivated instead of neutral and objective. Using this principle to examine those events, I have to ask myself what the white police officers, the wealthy football player, and the militarized nation state think is happening that produces and justifies their brutal actions. As video and witness accounts attest, neither Michael Brown nor Eric Gamer did anything that justified the way they were treated by the police. Eric Gamer sold loose cigarettes and Michael Brown walked down the street. Both men tried to offer the police alternatives to cruelty. Eric Gamer informed the police of the consequences of their actions on him, when he told them eleven times, while in an illegal chokehold, “I can’t breathe” Michael Brown raised his hands in a sign of surrender and said, “Don’t shoot.” But something occurred within the minds, impulses, and group identities of the white police officers, in that they construed the original non-event compounded with these factual and peacemaking communications as some kind of threat or attack. In other words, these policemen looked at nothing, the complete absence of threat, and there they saw threat gross enough to justify murder. Nothing happened, but these people with power saw abuse.

Did they? Or did they see an excuse to perpetrate a kind of violence they have been conditioned to enjoy? Or perhaps they understand the social role they fulfil better than they’re credited for? While unjustified “fear” plays a role in a lot of police violence nothing in Garner or Brown’s murders suggests to me that the officers were scared.
looks like the OCR misread Garner as Gamer
Thanks I fixed it
According to posts on the MN subreddits, he was fleeing in a car for 30 minutes before getting out and running on foot when they shot him. I haven’t seen anyone not linked to regime affiliated news claiming he attacked anyone. A livestream by his wife was posted, but I didn’t watch it.
Wow what a badass
Both the man who was shot and the officer were hospitalized
These little weaselly statements always infuriate me. One person got smacked with a plastic shovel. The other person got fucking shot with a gun.
Assuming they’re not just lying about being attacked, like cops do
This Bluesky account posts video and it’s an active thread. I won’t make it my post link because it’s just a rando (or randos?) on Bluesky but it might be far better than all of legacy media because they are literally there and taking video.
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

CNN has reached out to police for more information.
If the killing continues, Iran will be forced to intervene.

Walz is cowardly but what else is new.
Just the typical talk that’s contradicted by action. I wasn’t expecting differently, but it’s “fun” to highlight the two-faced assholery on plain display.
“Hey, y’all cops or people?”
Confirmed: cops aren’t people.

Gov. Walz tells people to record ‘atrocities’ against Minnesotans
[Tim Stelloh
](https://www.nbcnews.com/author/tim-stelloh-ncpn94141)
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz encouraged people tonight to help create a record of the “atrocities” against Minnesotans by recording immigration agents.
“You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these activities,” he said in a brief address. “Help us create a database of atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."
Walz to Trump, Noem: ‘End this occupation’ as ICE raids continue
05:56
Walz cited a social media post in which Trump told Minnesotans not to fear because “THE DAY OF RECONKING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING,” and he pleaded with Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “end this occupation.”
“You’ve done enough,” he said.

Trump threatens funding for states over sanctuary cities as clashes intensify in Minneapolis
Reuters
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would cut off federal funding next month for any state that includes sanctuary cities, expanding his attacks on mostly Democratic-run cities following days of clashes in Minneapolis.
Trump’s vow, which he made on social media, repeated comments he first made during a speech in Detroit on Tuesday, when he said he would halt payments starting on February 1 to any state that had sanctuary cities, which limit local authorities’ cooperation with federal immigration officers.
Any such effort would undoubtedly be challenged in court. A federal judge in August blocked a previous attempt to freeze funding for more than 30 sanctuary jurisdictions unless they cooperated with his immigration crackdown.
Trump’s declaration came amid escalating tensions in Minneapolis, a week after a U.S. immigration officer fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, in her car.

Tensions grow as crowd gathers after reported shooting in Minneapolis
An angry crowd gathered tonight in a residential area where federal officers were present and temporarily blocking a street.
People blew whistles, yelled expletives and threw snowballs at masked officers, video captured by NBC affiliate KARE of Minneapolis showed.
At one point, the officers could be seen using flash bangs and chemical irritants on the protesters, according to the KARE reporter on the scene, and moving a perimeter closer to multiple law enforcement vehicles that had their lights activated.
ICE officer who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding
bull fucking shit
Hemroids
Internal bleeding caused by forcing too much boot in his gullet at once
Maybe hit himself from recoil
A bruise is technically internal bleeding
And ICE would absolutely get hospital treatment for it even if only for the optics.
