Another ICE shooting in Minneapolis
By 
The CNN breaking news headline is that “Fed Officer Shot Suspect in Minneapolis After Shovel Ambush.”
Rumors are flying about the identity of the shooting victim but we’ll see. The neighborhood in question appears to be a residential area close to downtown.
At the moment there appears to be a standoff between protestors and various ICE thugs.
Story, featuring ICE’s version of events:
A person was shot in the leg by a federal law enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening after resisting arrest and “violently assaulting” an officer, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, as the city is still reeling in the aftermath of last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent.
Officers were conducting a “targeted” traffic stop at about 6:50 p.m. local time involving a Venezuelan man who DHS said is in the United States illegally. The man fled the scene in his vehicle, crashed into a parked car and then ran away on foot, DHS said.
“The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer,” the post said.
During the struggle, DHS said two people came out of a nearby apartment and attacked the officer using a snow shovel and a broom handle.
After the suspect got loose and joined the attack, the officer fired “defensive shots,” DHS said, striking the initial subject in the leg. The three individuals then ran back into the apartment building, barricading themselves inside, the agency said.
The officer and initial subject are both in the hospital, and the two other individuals are in custody, DHS said.
“We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details,” a city spokesperson said in an email to CNN Wednesday evening.
. . . here’s an eyewitness account that tells a much different and more fascistic story.
The whole “attacking heavily armed goons with a shovel” narrative was always incredible on its face, but these aren’t smart guys and things are definitely getting out of hand. Hopefully the SIX MONTH OLD BABY that had to be hospitalized because Donald Trump’s Freikorps was taking revenge for the Internal Bleeding of their Twin Cities hero will be OK.
I don’t want to hear anything from any Democratic politician that doesn’t start with “everybody involved in this needs to go to prison, starting with the president.”
