More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

The officer is, in fact, a murderer.
And saying that is not dangerous. The proper response to a murder is arrest and trial.

He's just straight up rationalizing that it's OK for them to murder people over "hateful rhetoric."
"Contempt of cop" is not, in fact, a crime, especially not one that warrants summary execution on the streets.

WELKER: What do you see in that video?
HOMAN: I've said from March -- if the hateful rhetoric doesn't decline there's going to be bloodshed. And unfortunately I was right. You gotta put yourself in the mind of the officer.

the thing is, this is where right-wing bull shit always leads. you cannot support mass deportation, attacks on trans people, anti-diversity bull shit, great replacement, even fake outrage over a Black mermaid…it always leads to this
There has 100% been a vibe shift on Twitter this week — apolitical and sports people are talking about Minneapolis and even a lot of right-leaning Finance Bros are like “you freaks have lost your minds.”
Whether that is representative of anything in the real world is TBD but it’s noticeable.

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

DHS posted this "We'll Have Our Home Again" imagery on all its social media today.

Democrats should demand the dismantling of ICE, congressional hearings into its operations and prosecution of its worst offenders, but at the VERY least they must refuse to spend our tax money to fund these masked goons who are terrorizing our communities.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.
