Shot dead in Minneapolis. After beating a man to the ground in a south Minneapolis neighborhood Saturday morning, they pulled out their guns. This video, widely circulated online, suggests the man took several bullets at close range.
Shot near close-blank struggling to his feet
MINNEAPOLIS — A federal Border Control agent, perhaps several, shot a man outside a doughnut shop in the culturally diverse and artsy Phillips neighborhood in south Minneapolis. The man bled out and died on the street. The shooting was the third by agents of President Trump’s Operation Metro Surge. These agents, now numbering 3,500, have terrorized the city for two months. In the Phllips neighborhood assault, Trump agents overwhelmed the man and a woman, apparently a companion, and forced them off their feet. The agents piled on the man, pounding him ruthlessly. When he tried to get to his feet, wobbly and unsteady, he was shot at close range. Rather than first aid, the agents backed away and walked off. Dozens of people, indeed hundreds converged on the scene. Police were called.
Reading the video
Here verbatim is one spontaneous interpretation of an early video that surfaced online: “This video shows exactly what happened prior to it happening. The victim is at the scene with a woman. As you can see, the woman is shoved to the ground and He goes to assist her. He has one hand up and has also been pepper sprayed. The agent should have defused the situation at this time and moved them both to the sidewalk. The man definitely was not a threat. Instead, he was pulled into a gang of agents, and everything went to hell.”
