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

I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t care anymore. MN has given mobs free rein and basically told LE to stand down but the Feds are supposed to act within strict ROE while Marxists navel gaze about constitutional rights?

---

Uh, yeah.

Don't be dumb.

The Bill of Rights doesn't say "these rights are limited if the federal government has to work a little harder and be a little more careful than the default settings"

In fact, the restraints and limitations on government are MOST important in times just like these.

The fact that so many self-perceived "conservatives" so easily discard the Constitution is the scary part of this. Your post encapsulates that pretty well.

frick them. If you’re going to get out and FA during this chaos and get shot…you just FO.

What about the LEO who FA and created a situation that didn't need to be created? Why are you exempting their FO?

are also arguing that LEO can just yell "GUN" when apprehending a suspect and kill the suspect even if he's not holding, or attempting to hold, the gun....or even if it's outside of his possession entirely.

Are they actually doing that?

lol. But muh 2nd amendment.

As you know, the 2nd amendment is limited by several states in the name of "gun control". Many red states have walked back the need for a concealed carry license. Minnesota is not one of those states.

In Minnesota, you must have a valid Permit to Carry a Pistol (PCP) or a recognized permit from another state to legally carry a handgun in public, whether concealed or openly. You are required to possess the physical permit and a photo ID whenever carrying the firearm.

If the allegations that he had no identification on his person were true, he was breaking at least one law just by being in public without his PCP.

Have you missed the NPC recycling of this X post?

Officers were in a physical struggle with an armed suspect when a gun was perceived and the word “gun” was shouted. Under settled self-defense law, officers are entitled to rely on fellow officers’ reasonable perceptions. They do not have to personally confirm the threat.

Once a firearm appears during active resistance, the legal standard is simple: reasonable perception of imminent deadly force. That standard was met here. Freeze-frame activism doesn’t override real-time dynamics, and the law does not require officers to wait to be shot. This was a tragic—but lawful—use of force.

Oh my god, he didn’t have his ID, kill him!

You are pathetic

Reminds me of the misdemeanor charge against Saint Kyle the judge ruled was unconstitutional at trial and dismissed

Oh I’m fully self aware…I’ve watched leftist mobs destroy property, take over city blocks for months and we now know they’re funded by our own tax dollars via a web of NGOs. Progressives imported millions of people from all over the world to increase their power base and now tell their minions to resist the clean up. Waltz and Ellison have basically been caught red handed as billions were stolen right under their nose.

I hope they roll the tanks into this shithole.

I don’t have twitter so I mostly glossed over that last night.

I wonder if there’s any truth to it.

Of course you’re oversimplifying things, as the nurse was not just killed for having a gun, but from my understanding was, at least initially, resisting arrest.

If he had never done that, he would (likely, as these ICE agents seem overzealous and I question their training) still be alive.

Partisan brain rot stupidity, to summarize.

Disagree. I think there’s 3 groups

1.) libs justifying anything against Trump- bad shoot
2.) Trump fans- good shoot
3.) moderates- Pretti interjected himself into a dumbass situation while being armed.

In case you anti ice people need clarification, I support your right to carry. I support your right to peacefully protest.

I don’t support your right to interject yourself within 100 yards of law enforcement trying to work- whether you agree or not. There are better ways to protest.

If you interject yourself while armed with law enforcement, you are putting yourself into a very dangerous situation for yourself.
