re: Border Patrol-involved shooting in Minneapolis; person shot was allegedly armed

Your idea of holding them to a "higher standard" involves interfering with their lawful duties, assaulting them, and screaming at them like a pack of unhinged lunatics? How typical of the braindead Left...

It's a very bad look.

Moderate women are a key swing vote. I believe they moved to the right over the extreme woke agenda during the last cycle.

But they do not tolerate violence, chaos and disorder.

Republicans are gonna get slaughtered in the midterms. And that's too bad.

They are taught not to carry ID. Illegal for him to carry a gun? Nope. But pretty fricking dumb if you’re there to cause problems for ICE.

For some fricking reason he decided it was time to close the space of the woman not moving towards him in anyway and knock her arse down

I have to go find the video again but I don't think the lady shoved was the one who was in the street

Can we all agree to the spelling of Walz name?

It's Walz, like Balls.

There is no T.

Let’s skip ahead to the part where this matters to you

If he didn’t have his permit on him and then they disarmed him and killed him

Is that more acceptable to you for some reason?

So umm, wouldn’t that be exactly what the agent did when he went and shoved the woman?

Key word bolded. Further proof you aren’t listening or even aware of the law.

First, I am not excusing their escalation. I am explaining why this LARPER was too stupid for his own good.

Second, a federal agent is a qualified active law enforcement officer protected by law above a normal carry person. This enhancement gives law enforcement a little more leeway when they carry, which is probably why this ICE agent was too careless, too aggressive too fast. Is this fair, maybe not…but it is the law, and again, someone TRAINED knows this and isn’t going to resist an officer while carrying. That’s a death sentence.

Yet again, in case you are being extra dense, I’m not saying ICE did no wrong. I think it was a very quick, perhaps unjustified escalation…but let’s not pretend this protester isn’t retarded for resisting armed agents while armed and is surprised he is shot?

Please.

that's almost a certainty... and with each event like this it becomes more and more apparent... the question isn't really will they win the House and Senate back, it's truly becoming a question of by how much...
