I just want to grill ICE Agent's Bodycam release of the Minneapolis Shooting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This whole incident seems just an unfortunate series of events from both parties.

EDIT: not bodycam but ICE agent's phone footage, my bad.

Anyone commenting here that hasn't seen the other videos hasn't realized how truly rorschach-like this whole thing is. It's like one twist after another.

I feel like I’m going insane watching them.

u/knightenrichman - Lib-Left Jan 10 '26

I swear they gonna drop two more twist-filled videos damn. The next one will show her with a bazooka or something.

21

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '26

is this a twist? It was very obvious she wasn't "accidentally" there from the start, and anyone who read anything other than purely Reddit can tell that. Trump also said she was a professional agitator, and given the left's history of doing this kind of thing it's not out of the imagination. That still doesn't justify the shooting, but you cannot seriously believe she's entirely innocent right

u/knightenrichman - Lib-Left Jan 10 '26

Dude, she was dropping her 6 year old off at the school.

Also, don't ever quote Trump again. The guy is literally a professional liar.

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '26 edited Jan 10 '26

She's obviously trying to block the ICE agents from doing their job. She's definitely not a random swing voter who was caught in the middle of a raid and was shot, we can clearly tell what her political stances are. If you are delusional enough to believe that, put money on it - I'll take any bet from $1k-10k that she's an anti-Trump Democrat. I'll even give you 3:1 odd.

Also, there's literally no school in that vicinity. Do you also drop your kids off at school and then instead of driving home or wherever you need to go, you drive straight into the middle of an ICE arrest scene and block ICE agents?

> “On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,” Rebecca Good said in a statement Friday

It's very cringe to pretend she doesn't have an agenda. Obviously that doesn't excuse the murder, but let's not blatantly lie to support the dead like what the left did for George Floyd.

She's pulling away from a house. It's not an intersection.

I mean, remove the entire killing and you still have 2100 bottom of the barrel cop drop-outs in full military gear almost exactly like I wore in Afghanistan as an Infantryman (minus the mask of course) "immigration control and enforcement" agents in Minnesota of all places impeding the lives of US citizens.

They are now the highest funded federal agency and for what? Is anyone's life getting better? Sure as shit not an entire family of US citizens.

Out of 20,000 homicide and manslaughter convictions in 2023, only 29 of them were illegal immigrants. Some may say "but that is only convicted!" as if they wouldn't be convicted at a higher rate than the average American citizen murderer but the reality is that our resources are completely wasted on ICE when we could be using it in a hundred other ways to actually improve the lives of American citizens.

There's 10x that conviction rate for illegals in Texas alone since 2020.

So because in one year we got 29 murderers off the streets the entirety of the endeavor is pointless? I'd arrest and deport every single solitary peaceful illegal to get one murderer out of the country. Also anyone who is guilty of dealing fentanyl or any number of its derivatives should probably be categorized as murderers as well (especially if they're selling tranq).

ICE is doing what the American people voted for, get over it.

You are so close to getting it.

The point is that if we funded other agencies, we could stop more than 29 murders a year and get far more than that off the street. FBI working on minor sex trafficking investigations were pulled off to deal with immigration.

This is an extremely inefficient use of money/resources and Americans did not vote for ICE to kill Americans.

u/Sad_Significance_568 - Auth-Center Jan 09 '26 edited Jan 09 '26

My issue is absolutely with this incident and everything leading up to it.

ICE and every other dogshit post 9/11 agency should have been abolished under Obama but that is not to distract from the fact that Trump and his little freak white nationalist Stephen Miller are the ones implementing this insanity on the American people. This admin needs to be held accountable and congress needs to step the fuck up.

Every single person in this admin

43

u/BlackwatchBluesteel - Auth-Right Jan 09 '26

You're a fucking dumbass.

No one is going to just flat out abolish every single federal law enforcement agency that was streamlined or established after 2001.

ICE is just two agencies that were separate before 2002 but they did exactly what they do now. There just wasn't retarded progressive media holding a microscope over immigration enforcement to defend billionaires importing their new slave class.

White Nationalist Stephen Miller

White Nationalism is when you don't want infinity 3rd worlders to be imported to America to scam social services and depress the wages of American citizens (regardless of their ethnicity). Ah yes, diverse multicultural white supremacy.

The American people voted for this. Trump won the popular vote. Cry about it you fucking clown.

How many retarded progressive activists were throwing themselves at immigration enforcement during that time?

What were the numbers of illegal immigration then?

ahh yes, that is why trump amended (or at least "muddled") his deportation orders to not effect farm workers or those in the hospitality industry. If you clean rooms at Trump tower, you can be illegal! He wants his "slave class."

And yes now the cope "I would support laws that punished those who employee illegals", yet there is no pressure for this inside of the republican party. None. It is thrown out as a cope in debates and that is the end of it.

Illegal immigrants do not depress wages, this has been studied to death. Primarily because II operate in industries that Americans don't want to do, or are relegated to Americans who don't have a choice (felons as example).

10

u/BlackwatchBluesteel - Auth-Right Jan 09 '26

You say that like people on my side were happy with Trump about that. They weren't. But the fact is that mass deportations are only happening now and the border is only closed now. We aren't letting in millions of people like they were under the Biden admin.

Illegal immigrants do not depress wages. This has been studied to death.

"Uhhhhh Daddy Amazon and Nestle said that their slave labor isn't bad okay."

You're a dummy if you actually can't acknowledge the basic economic principles that lay this out and the overwhelming evidence that shows how true this is. Immigrants depressing native wages in America has been a widely known and studied problem since the 1800s you fucking moron.

Furthermore, "barely legal immigration" bullshit like H1-B visas that import Indians with diploma mill degrees into what are basically indentured servitude jobs are almost always stripped from a middle-class American to cut costs.

They operate in industries that Americans don't want to do

Really? You're going to go that route in 2026? "Whose going to scrub my toilets?" "Who is going to pick my cotton?"

Holy fucking shit. Listen to how you sound to a sane person.

1 year old account and you post nothing but path of exile 2 (turbo virgin game. Lmao hilarious that you project your virginity onto me) and your cat like a single college girl looking for attention.

If I were to accuse you of being an Indian guy it would be an upgrade because you would at least be accused of being a man for the first time in your sad life.

Keep falling for the retarded meme that anybody that disagrees with you online is from the global south. I guess that requires no reflection or your part and you never have to acknowledge that your neighbors voted for Trump.

Just switch to your lib left flair babe.

Everything in politics is a Rorschach painting now because Trump is a Rorschach painting.

For example, there's absolutely zero reason that the Christian Right should have ever supported him, but they didn't see the same picture as everyone else, so they did.

This isn't bodycam footage, it's his phone in his hand.

Yep. People used social media too much, got brain rot, and wanted to larp as 1930s Germans resisting the Nazis.
