ICE Shoots Projectile and Takes Out Kid’s Eye
Surgeons spent six hours removing shards of glass, plastic, and metal from his face. Unfortunately, the damage to his left eye was irreversible.
Second kid in the video, shot point-blank in the face.

A few thoughts on the Minneapolis homicide (from the former head of policy at ICE):
1. The perp was shooting towards his colleagues - wildly out of training.
2. If Good posed a threat worth shooting her over, ICE needed to confirm she was in fact disabled post-crash. That they did not is telling.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

More brutality from the federal government in Minneapolis today as authorities have shot and killed yet another person.
After the two federal-involved shootings in Chicago, one thing is clear: do NOT trust what DHS says about this incident.

The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.
