“…...We're going to be working toward justice as quickly as we possibly can right now. Justice is what we got to get," Frey said.

“…...We all know the agenda of this Trump administration is to create chaos. Let us respond right now with our best versions of self. This is a moment where all of us in Minneapolis and beyond, we can rise to the occasion," Frey added.

"We can show them who we are. We can show them the kind courage, bravery, love and compassion that makes Minneapolis, Minneapolis and makes America, America," he said. "We are better than a bunch of ICE agents being deployed to cities around the country and ripping apart families and communities. We're better than that. So we are going to meet that hate with love. We are going to meet that despair with hope. We are going to meet that injustice with constitutional justice ourselves and we're going to make sure that in this very difficult moment we do not take the bait that these ICE agents are trying to create and the federal government — to be clear — wants. They want us to respond in a way that creates a military occupation in our city. They want an excuse to come in and show the kind of force that will create more chaos and more despair. Let's not let them. Let's rise to this occasion”

The article then states that Minnesota State police will be investigating. I doubt that Gov Walz will let anyone ride free on this. And Atty General Keith Ellison is one tough cookie!

Qualified immunity does not warrant murder. As was proven in Minneapolis just around 6 years ago

Shot her in the face.

To all of the MAGA Republicans and ICE defenders who are claiming that this woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, tried to run ICE officers over with her car before they shot and killed her, here is the actual video.

As you can clearly see, there are three ICE officers to the side of her car, and she slowly pulls away as they shoot her in the face. This is Trump‘s America.

were not helpful or words to that effect.

I’m no legal analyst but I completely disagree. It is well past time for outrage and pushback to occur. Send a message to these bullies that people will not roll over.

One of them clearly shows a man who appears to be the shooter walking away from the vehicle after it crashed, so presumably he can be identified.
He didn't seem concerned about the condition of the people in the vehicle.

If you're in charge of the police, why aren't you using them to protect your citizens?

Probably afraid to find out that some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses.

Absolutely despicable and I hope enough Americans are paying attention to the rapidly creeping fascism that is threatening our country thanks to tRump and his horrible administration....

He shoots someone and then just disappears into the woodwork? The fact that he didn’t remain at the scene is clear enough to see he knows what he did. So he runs away.

This man is a murderer and needs to be brought to justice.

ICE appears to be anonymous. We can't see their faces. That is intentional. They come and go. You never know their names.

Instead they “turn it over to the state to investigate” and he walks away with his face still covered?

This is blowing my mind.
