It's very unusual for NYT to publish a video analysis, esp. one contradicting a govt account, so quickly, within 6 hours. But NYT had two of their most capable analysts on it.

Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

this is good example of how to write a credible headline and social post about the shooting in Minneapolis without amplifying
lies from the Trump administration. Facts not talking points and lies. Other news outlets and headline writers should take note.

Federal immigration officers shot and killed another person in Minneapolis on Saturday. Video from bystanders show he was wrestled to the ground by six federal officers before 10 shots rang out.

Over 10 shots can be heard in the video, but it’s unclear if more than one agent fired a weapon.

Real talk from Minnesota: "I feel like we're performing CPR on what may already be a corpse: the Constitution"
Prove this wrong, fellow Americans, please. MN can stand up, protect each other, witness & alert you.
But we alone can't control the feds. This is a USA issue.

Trump’s untrained Gestapo thugs murdered an ICU nurse in cold blood — a US citizen who worked at the VA & had no criminal record. He had a permit to carry & didn’t draw the gun. They simply murdered him.
They must be prosecuted. They must be accountable. The impunity must end.
