Sorry that you all even have to see this.

Thank you for your dedication. I don’t know where we would be if people like you did not have a grip from the start.

Likewise. 💕

But thank you for reporting it.

Asalamu alaikum Shaun

The officer that murdered this citizen needs to be arrested along with the officer who murdered Renee Good.

The world is now witness to two entities that need to be abolished: ICE & IDF!

🆓🇵🇸 = 🆓🇺🇸

He is not an officer and we need to stop calling them that or "agents". They are nothing more than thugs, insurrectionists, and murderers

This is a conscious effort by this administration to start a civil war in Minneapolis. It comes from the top of the government to the thugs on the streets, masquerading as American agents, shooting Americans civilians and hoping for escalation. It is a crime and a disgrace brought about by The SB POS POTUS of America.

110% they want so bad for society to collapse. Just so they can rebuild in their selfish vision. With no regard for the people they’re manipulating to make it happen.

We all know they’re not going to save the lowest on the pyramid when it comes down to it. They just want bottom line and they don’t care if it’s just them on some spaceship for the remainder of their pathetic lives. They’ll destroy all of us and the planet to make it happen. They’re proud of it too.

Their brainwashed army will be next as soon as they don’t need them. Because who needs the extra expense?

Don’t forget: POTUS IS A WANTED FELON. HES GOT CHARGES AND HE DOESNT WANT US DISCUSSING THAT. I think maybe we should just push harder on that the harder he tries to bring us to break. Because he’s so vulnerable we just need someone to act.

This has to stop. This has to. Is it because we didn’t fight hard enough for Gaza 😢💔

I'm still fighting for Palestinians. We should all be doing what we can to aid in their continued survival.

I am physically shaking. EVERY PERSON WHO VOTED FOR AND ENABLED THIS SHOULD BE FORCED TO WITNESS THESE MURDERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Although I am not a US citizen, not living in the US, but what I see is beyond my nightmarish expectations! Although the US is controlled by zionists who used and are still using it's resources and people to destroy our countries and ruin their lives, but I feel really sorry and outraged for the Americans subjected to this unimaginable aggression and tyranny!

As Egyptian, I have no hatred towards the US people, most of them, and I cannot believe my eyes for what I am seeing live streamed in a country that supposed to be a symbol of freedom, at least inside its borders.

The scenes coming from their cannot even be watched in the most communist, collective regimes in the world.

Sorry for my awkward language.

No apologies necessary Mohammed, your English is exemplary and I completely agree with you.

Thank you for posting. Are you able to find the video of the lady wearing pink who has a front row seat to the execution? This is so awful.

Shaun King's avatar

Let me see if I have it. It's all so awful Jon

I just sent you a message on Insta

Horrific!! The fact that ICE is now murdering white citizens (and in this case a legal gun owner) will shake up many more in this country who NEED to be shook up. IF they can get past the BS news and DHS lies. All they have to do is watch the videos.

Driving away was a threat, now observing with a camera is?? What have we become?! 💔

The Black and Tans in America. Murder on the streets, like Ireland 1920. Like Germany 1938. Like Gaza 2024. The Nazis are here. They have taken over this country.

First, although I haven't run the clearest footage of the point where the attempts to wrestle the observer to the ground turned int into a shooting, the footage does show it wasn't when he 'went for his waist' (putting his camera in his jacket pocket) and my kinesitic sense of the struggle is that his one arm and hand are being held away from his body by those using it as a lever to force him towards the ground, and the other is keeping his chest and face from being slammed into the ground.

And that he actually had his hand close enough to his body to put his camera in his pocket, but did NOT attempt to access the legal gun he was licensed to carry, even as he was under assault and in a position to use it to defend himself, the notion he tried while burdened with three people's weight restricting his movements so improbable as to be unbelievable.

Looks like Black folks having to share the market on heavy handed treatment by law enforcement.

Until the last two years, I had never seen a dead body, and definitely not a mutilated one. In Palestine I have now seen both - although I never saw the actual killing or mutilation of an individual. That’s now being corrected by the usa. Now I’m seeing human beings being shot and killed by their own compatriots. This in ‘America the land of the free.’ That was always a misnomer.

56 - 57 million Indigenous Americans were killed by the white immigrant settlers who formed the usa, and even now they’re treated disgustingly. Those people who were forced into industrial-level slavery would have plenty to say on the subject too. The usa/israel have killed millions of people all around the world - in wars and conflicts that they started. Now the usa has turned on people within its own borders, including citizens.

I never use the word American unless I am referring to an indigenous American; I only use the word Americas if I am talking about the actual continent.

The only reasons it seems to me that people go there is if they’re either forced to, or it’s for money. They’re either bribed to go if they have great talent, or they think money will be easier there. Had the place ever cared about its people, they would have had a proper health system years ago. Now they’re proving how little they care.

This horror started about illegal immigrants, but it’s obviously no longer that. I think trump wants to stir everything up sufficiently that people fight back literally, and he can then declare a state of emergency - when he might be able to cancel elections and bring the army in. In that case I would hope that the army and real police would stand together with the ‘ordinary’ people. It would appear that the police in Minnesota are already doing that. That many ICE agents are apparently ex-iaf makes what’s happening more easily explained, but even more repulsive.

It’s also a fact that a lot of coverage has been given to the two killings of white people, what about people of colour? I find it hard to believe that no-one of colour has been killed in these circumstances. Since its inception the usa has been horribly racist - despite the fact that the settlers professed to be taking ‘civilisation and Christianity’ there. Their subsequent behaviour proved that they themselves had neither.

People in the rest of the world have always been amazed by what happens in the usa, such as all the shootings and the weird cults. I really wonder whether the cults come about somehow from the fact that many religious fanatics went there, and they have that sort of mindset. As far as the shootings are concerned, and the refusal to change gun law as they would in other countries, is it possible that there may be a very deep fear in people in the usa because of all the killings that have been done in the name of the usa? Maybe subconsciously they fear that retribution may come to them, and that they therefore need to be able to ‘protect’ themselves?

My feeling is that with the rejection of the Indigenous Americans, there is little history in the usa. What is there is war after war after war. These are not because other countries attack the usa, but because the usa interferes in the way they are run. Other reasons the usa has started wars are because they want to steal resources, against communism, or some other made-up reason.

Their hysteria about communism is laughable. If a country chooses that way, what business is it of anyone else? The propaganda that has come out of the usa and Russia and China is unbelievable. Anyone would think that they were little green things with six legs each! In fact both countries are made up of people who have the same emotions, hope, and fears as the rest of us.

All people in the usa seem to cling to the countries they originally left. The same is seen in israel, which started in exactly the same way. Is that why they cling together? Other countries came about naturally, the usa and israel have not, and they show that in their behaviour.
