So the right is now saying that carrying a hidden gun legally is justification for the state removing that gun and killing you. After decades of using the opposite argument to support their very existence?

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I was trained by the FBI in 92 in tactics, weapons, crowd control etc etc for my work overseas as a United States Marine at US Embassies.
What I am watching, witnessing is NOT what or how I was trained in what is called 'The progression of force'.
That policy is nowhere to be seen. 1/2

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I assume the back channel messages our leaders have been getting from the White House are absolutely insane, way worse than the public stuff. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Trumpers have been making direct threats to individuals and entire countries, the kind of thing that made everyone freak out.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
