[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious, what do you all think was going on in the head of the shooter? What could he possibly be thinking? He has been doing this 8 years and presumably hasn't killed someone in cold blood before, at least in public. Not a new recruit with no training. So what was he thinking? I am not trying to justify anything. Just purely curious.

Also, other than trying to block the appropriation bills, which doesn't sound like it would do much anyways, what else can democrats do?

And can Minneapolis bring charges against this guy (and the last guy?). I know feds are not cooperating but can they legally prosecute? It seems in this case, there is plenty of evidence to convict. [/quote]

When the deceased man was struggling with federal agents, one of the agents saw his gun and yelled “gun”. I believe one of the agents removed the deceased man’s gun during the struggle, but not all of the agents knew that. When the agents are searching the man’s body after he passed, one of them is heard asking “where’s the gun?”

These are trying to do a dangerous job and have protestors/rioters constantly in their faces. They were faced with a man resisting arrest who possessed a gun. I believe that was their mindset. [/quote]

It’s not a dangerous job. [/quote]

Law enforcement is a dangerous job, especially in this country where people are armed. [/quote]
My DH was a LEO for 30 years dealing with gang members, drug dealers, crack warfare, and drugged out people. He never once shot anybody.  Guess what, most of the people he accounted were armed and still he never had the need to shoot or murder anyone. And since he was a LEO in DC, he policed many angry and destructive protestors. He said it was murder from all the videos he has seen. Several former police chiefs are shaking their heads and are just short of calling it murder. It is a dangerous job, but not everybody can do it successfully as these ICE/CBP officers are showing the world. Bad policing is rampant because at this point the agency is hiring anybody with a pulse. [/quote]

I was a US Customs Special Agent hired in South Florida during the period of “cocaine cowboys” and then spent 30 years investigating mostly “blue collar” crimes such as drug trafficking,  violent gangs, child exploitation, war criminals, etc.  I only almost had to shoot someone because they pulled out a handgun and pointed it at us at close range (thankfully a quick thinking police officer grabbed it before anything bad happened).  In 2003 US Customs was reorganized and the agents were moved to ICE/HSI.  Never had any violent interactions during my 11 year tenure there.  My colleagues and I are in total disbelief tad to what we are witnessing in MN and elsewhere. Totally avoidable and squarely lies on the shoulder of Trump and his administration. [/quote]
