Highly important video of the ICE Minnesota shooting.
"The driver ... waves for other [vehicles] to go ahead"
"The agent is not being run over. In fact, his feet are positioned away from the SUV"
"Agents blocked...a physician" from providing medical care.

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

Minneapolis Mayor says video shows DHS claims of self-defense are “bullshit.” He says ICE created the situation & made it worse. His message to ICE: “Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." He encourages citizens not to take the bait & rise to the occasion. "Let's show them unity."
The truth about this incident will emerge. Plenty of people took video; the shooting will be analyzed. A badge is not a license to shoot. Deadly force can’t be used unless an agent reasonably believes their life/the lives of other are at risk. Law enforcement’s job is to protect & serve.
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
