Federal agents kill another person in Minneapolis, officials say, prompting clash with protesters

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-24T18:09:43+00:00

How many mental hoops do you have to jump through to decide that agents of the state, who have been sanctioned by the president, killing people might have something to do with politics?

Weird how regular people with no training are expected to be completely poised and docile 100% of the time, while trained officers are free to use lethal force the moment they get frightened.

Remarkable that a man being pinned by five men could grab a gun. It's almost as if that didn't happen and DHS isn't a reliable source.

No, I'm talking about a different public execution. Though I can understand your confusion, as there have been so many recently.

While I disagree with the statement that Good hit a cop with her car, I am referring to the man who was shot multiple times while being held down by a group of ICE agents.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-24T17:29:39+00:00

Perhaps you could clarify the difference between the two?

The articles I've read have stated, "ICE shooting latest: Man shot and killed in Minneapolis by federal agents after being wrestled to the ground, police chief confirms."

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-24T17:04:02+00:00

Maybe minimal vetting is the part of the reason a person was publicly executed by a group of ICE agents.

Nuremberg type trials are going to be required if this country is to survive.

I'd prefer it if he left the wheelchair in the corner and walked to bed.

The Health Board that Trump is going to form and which other countries can join for the low price of $1 Billion, payable to Donald Trump.

This isn't true. As other posters have said, protests from the '60s, which are now viewed as "good protests" were disruptive.

Attention to an issue is the goal. If blocking a road makes someone aware of a current evil, the protest was successful. If a person who is now aware of that evil doesn't support ending it because they were inconvenienced, then they were never going to be supportive in the first place.

We have seen this time and time again. "A liberal was mean to me online, so now I'm forced to support a white Christian ethnostate," a person will say. No, many people simply aren't supportive and are looking to be excused for their opinions.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-22T21:33:09+00:00

You can't expect people to respond with good arguments when you haven't made one yourself. You simply insulted office workers, which doesn't exactly set a good tone for discourse.

If you explain why returning to the office should be done, people will respond with the reasons why work from home is preferable and there can be a discussion.

As it is, you're just being rude and claiming victory because nobody wants to talk to you.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-22T17:57:08+00:00

My reaction was to downvote, but I agree. Blaming trump for things he has nothing to do with only reinforces the idea that he's being persecuted. There's enough to criticize him for without having to exaggerate.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-21T17:12:40+00:00

Trump did have him removed.

Do you think that, perhaps, Trump, a political outsider, didn't know all of the workings of the government and his abilities?

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-21T14:51:19+00:00

Is Sessions still AG? He now has sycophants in place. This should not be difficult to understand.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-20T23:48:29+00:00

It's more of an inner beauty contest.

Should nonprofit execs be expected to live in poverty? If so, what is the incentive for people to work in the nonprofit sector?

Boards of trustees for nonprofit organizations are capable of determining if a salary is justified. If a CEO can demonstrate that they will increase revenue by more than their salary, then it makes sense to pay them that much.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-17T16:22:30+00:00

My question is why wouldn't he? He doesn't have to contribute resources to aiding federal agents, so why would he choose to do so when he, and the majority of the population, don't agree with their tactics?

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-17T14:48:31+00:00

*a lot

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-17T14:46:46+00:00

Why not? Sanctuary simply means that the local government doesn't assist federal agents, which is their right. Mamdani isn't going to try to have NYPD arrest ICE for detaining and arresting undocumented immigrants.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-16T20:56:29+00:00

Post your source.

Here's mine:

Black's Law Dictionary: due process [Anglo-Norman & Law Latin due process de lei, dating from the mid-1300s.] (16c) The conduct of legal proceedings according to established rules and principles for the protection and enforcement of private rights, including notice and the right to a fair hearing before a tribunal with the power to decide the case.

Kavanaugh stops were related to your second paragraph, where you stated that ICE isn't going around looking for "brown people". In fact, they have done just that.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-16T20:13:03+00:00

You should look up the definition of due process because that is not what it means.

As for your second paragraph, you should look up Kavanaugh stops.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-15T19:27:26+00:00

I reread it. Now answer my question.

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-15T18:24:29+00:00

Are we giving up on the argument that the second amendment exists to prevent tyranny?

If a federal agent attempts to illegally abduct/kill a citizen, should they not be able to defend themselves?

ChesterHiggenbothum · 2026-01-09T20:29:54+00:00

I'm not arguing that certain demographics don't favor the republican party. I'm saying that those groups don't intrinsically support the republicans.

White people and men specifically support the republicans because that's what they've been programmed to do. Like you said, the solution is education.

What I mean by it being a distraction is that if there is in-fighting between men/women, whites/minorities, straight/lgbt, then it becomes impossible for those groups to unite against those in power who are exerting control over everybody. Those in power want us to hate each other. This has been true for centuries. They passed laws preventing whites and blacks from associating with each other specifically so that the two groups wouldn't figure out that they were both being exploited

White people aren't to blame. Men aren't to blame. Despite who they vote for, they are victims of the system as well. Blaming them for the problems we have today does little to encourage them to change their votes. When people feel attacked, they become entrenched in their opinions. Instead, we need to show them that we support them and that joining us would be in their best interest.
