I don't know where the Minnesota State Police stand on the current conflict but I do think we need to be careful not to conflate the two organizations. The Fraternal Order of Police is a right-wing, private lobbying organization. They do not speak directly for any state or local police unit.

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants
Because he put himself in front of the car to have an excuse to shoot!

Our thread of ICE and CBP rapists, sex pests, and child molesters continues below. Our thread was so long that it broke Bluesky.
US Border Patrol agent Roy Ramirez Jr., 32, of Harlingen, TX, was arrested in 2020 by McAllen Police and charged with sexual assault for forcing one of his subordinates at work to perform oral sex on him.

I know pedocon’s real and all, but it’s insane the Jan 6 pardon covered ~ 1500 people and there are now at least a half dozen since arrested for child sex crimes. That’s one in every 250! Over the course of a year!
I think Pitcairn Island is the only population beating that per capita rate.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Just caught this 2011 interview with Bill Moyers posted recently by @democracynow.org -- He saw it coming a long, long time ago. Guessing he wasn't alone. Anyone working in the industry felt it. Thank goodness for independent journalism.👏👏
