Finally, America has more masculine energy, defined as publicly expressing panicky terror at the sight of anyone who looks like your mom. Or a former school teacher. Also cities, especially with subways. And rainbows. But only the manliest men, the hard men, go around saying they’re scared of mommy.

The NFL is just bonkers right now. Every 4th quarter is more back and forth than a 70's French Open final.

America voters cried out for more war, fewer rights, higher prices, fewer jobs, less healthcare, more corruption, fewer allies, more bigotry, less equality, more lies, more criminality, and less democracy. And they got what they voted for, even if some didn’t realize that’s what they were doing.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

As a killing in Minneapolis is documented, the law clearly stipulates that federal agents do not have universal immunity.

You don't shut down an investigation if you're confident that the investigation will exonerate your guy. If your guy is going to be proven to be innocent of any wrongdoing, you want broad daylight shining on the evidence for the whole world to see.
According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

"tried to attack them" is 100% the opposite of what the video shows. It could not be more black & white that the government is lying in their statements about what happened.
Clearly, the officers weren't "stuck in the snow" and the murdered woman was not trying to ram anyone.

Minnesota law enforcement have video from multiple angles of an unjustified deadly shooting in Minneapolis. Therefore, they should arrest and prosecute the shooter for murder. The fact that the killer is a federal agent should not alter that basic logic. If anything, charging is even more important.
