Watching the aerial footage is nuts, my god there are SO many people.
Hey MAGA, if your beloved orange pedophile declares martial law to cheat his way through the Midterms, this is just a fraction of the number of people you’ll see on the streets when he tries it. ***Good luck.***
When people are turning out nationwide, it’s usually because trust is completely broken, not because of one isolated incident. Protests like this are about years of accumulated anger finally boiling over.

As you can clearly see in the [video analysis](https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000010631041/minneapolis-ice-shooting-video.html) and multiple angles from multiple videos including the one from murderer Jonathan Ross’ perspective, murderer Jonathan Ross was never in danger, the tires of the vehicle were pointed away from him, and he clearly stepped to the side unobstructed and continued to shoot innocent woman Renee Nicole Good point blank in the face, while fumbling with his cell phone in his other hand, while she was trying to comply with an order to move her vehicle, because he is the murderer Jonathan Ross.
“Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, **and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, _which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle_.”**
Murderer and domestic terrorist Jonathan Ross was clearly out to kill someone, and Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good. Domestic terrorist organization ICE also **denied and delayed medical aid** to Renee Nicole Good, again against DOJ policy, every ethical and moral measure imaginable, and basic humanity. **Coward, murderer Jonathan Ross then fled the scene uninjured**. Murderer Jonathan Ross is a psychopath, just like all his colleagues in ICE, who are all accessories to murder.

aerial footage is wild! If things escalate, expect way bigger crowds. Protests like this aren’t just about one thing, they’re about built-up frustration

Time for Republicans to stand up to Trump or risk getting smacked around good in the mid terms..
That already might be a moot point though!

This outcome was inevitable. The Trump administration’s authoritarian deployment of trigger happy, unaccountable ICE thugs around the country never intended to “reduce crime” or drive back some imaginary “invasion” or “rebellion.” No, the intention was always to legitimize the aggressive occupation of areas around the country where Trump’s political opposition remains defiant of him and his policies.
Places where federalized troops and masked ICE agents have been mobilized to crackdown on protestors, crush dissenting voices, profile their targets, assault passersby, throw people into unmarked vehicles, suppress civil liberties and arrest or detain anyone who meets the government’s vague criteria of a “domestic terrorist.”
Donald Trump, his allies and followers are trying desperately to turn the criminals into the victims of these violent tragedies so that they can continue justifying the federal government’s terrorizing presence around the country.
It also speaks volumes that all of the MAGA mouthpieces are out in full force trying to defend murder; regurgitating the talking points that have been delivered by the White House; peddling the regime’s propaganda in order to control the narrative.
That narrative’s purpose is not only to make victims out of murderers, but to also insist that the woman who was unjustly slain this week deserved it because she is part of a larger, hostile, yet fictional left-wing threat to this country—excuse me—THEIR country.
None of these armed assailers were in imminent danger. The victim, Renee Good, was an American citizen and was not even a target of their operation, nor a threat to their lives. Good’s life was the only one at urgent risk and the man who killed her made a deliberate choice to do so when other, non-lethal choices were available.
The goal from the moment that this tragedy became national news was to politicize it, facts be damned. This is made apparent by the *fact(s)* that local investigations are currently being obstructed while even the president, the vice president and the director of DHS themselves spoke out almost immediately after the incident; making statements that sought to blame the victim and exonerate the shooter.
MAGA would be screaming bloody murder if they identified with the victim and *not* the shooter in this situation.
This is because their loyalty and the loyalty of these lawless, wannabe counter-revolutionaries is not to this country, nor the safety of its people, not to the law, nor the constitution, but to Donald Trump and to a destructive, hateful and violent ideology. The only authority they have to answer to is one that will absolve them of all wrongdoing—even in the case of murder.
Meanwhile, Trump has already threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act as part of an effort to subvert the authority of states and invalidate the Posse Comitatus Act, giving him the unilateral power to order the military and his personal army of ICE goons to enforce his will and carry out the law however the administration sees fit.
And like every other step Trump has taken towards consolidating power and control over the country, these actions do absolutely nothing to confront the underlying, root causes of crime, “domestic terrorism,” political violence and other systemic issues.
These measures are also meant to produce the ILLUSION of safety. They fail at being an effective and reliable deterrent to anything.
And as elections roll around, there’s the very strong likelihood that Trump will use this militant presence to suppress the vote in urban areas.
“Law and order” has been a conservative dog whistle for decades, and we know that Trump and MAGA don’t care all that sincerely about the law because they believe they are above it. That is to say, “For my friends everything, for my enemies the law.”
Trump has even stated as much; claiming that he is not beholden to any standards but his own and posting comments like, “He who saves his country does not violate any law,” a quote often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte insinuating that Trump is entitled to operate outside all laws and regulations, whenever and however he pleases. This is dictator logic.
MAGA’s law and order rhetoric intends to divide and aims to incite violence and hostility towards minorities, immigrants, marginalized segments of society and anyone who is subjectively deemed a “left wing agitator.”
MAGA’s obsession with crime and punishment is reflected in their support for federalizing troops and local law enforcement to subdue their political opponents and terrorize the population. It’s reflected in this administration’s militarization of domestic policy, in Trump’s weaponization of ICE and the DOJ, in the Republican party’s disregard for the basic constitutional rights of the people they’re targeting and arresting, in Trump’s attacks on law firms and judges, in his defiance of court orders and flouting of checks and balances, and in his pursuit of vengeance against his critics, his political enemies and anyone who has ever tried to hold him accountable for HIS crimes.
The hypocrisy is baffling. While Trump and his supporters are demanding that he receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his feckless efforts at ending multiple wars (which he hasn’t) and “negotiating” an imaginary peace around the world, he is simultaneously waging war against the American people, people he is tasked with protecting.
These tactics are taken directly from the fascist playbook. Including the current use of inflammatory rhetoric from Trump and his allies who are trying to justify their consolidation of power and their occupation of cities around the country by broadly designating Democrats and all left-leaning political foes as “terrorists.”
They’re also using this opportunity to employ another fascist strategy which involves scapegoating minorities, immigrants and out-groups; identifying them as “enemies” and “threats” to national security. This becomes their unifying cause, a point to rally around as Republicans spread fearmongering propaganda and misinformation that appeals to conservatives’ culture war grievances, their paranoia and their phobias.
It’s also clear that the Trump administration is hoping to provoke an incident. Republicans are desperate for an escalation—for a violent response so that Trump can continue to push the limits of his power and so him and his supporters can rationalize to themselves why more military incursions around the country are necessary.
But none of it is sincere. All of their rhetoric and their reactions to violent tragedies and political commotions of the past were really just rallying cries.
They couldn’t care less about the root causes of crime, political violence or domestic extremism. Their chief priority throughout all of this has been to construct a pretext to declare war against “the radical left.”
And now that the Trump administration gets to dictate whom or what conforms to the vague definition of a “domestic terrorist,” they will continue to use this blanket label to suppress civil liberties, to scapegoat their enemies, to crackdown on dissent and to arrest (or kill) anyone who defies them.

George Floyd all over again. Republicans will have a hey day with it. ANTIFA will surely be brought into it soon and to think the government knows how to prevent all of it.

Trump administration’s response to the incident is absolutely unacceptable. Regardless of how they view the incident itself, they should not refused to investigate and immediately accused the victim to be “domestic terrorists” without any proofs.

Phrasing it as thousands across more than a thousand protests across the country makes it sound like it’s a 1000 ten person protests. I feel like it should be phrased differently.

“Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, **and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, _which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle_.”**
