Video of the incident in question [1]. This thread will likely be flag-killed instantly.

They were a lawful observer confronted by ICE due to observing and recording them. [2] https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1qlt6s2/video_showing_...

This person was pinned to the ground by three people while another was just wailing against their head from above. Hard to tell what object they're using as a cudgel to their face. Then the subsequent mag dumping just to be extra sure they're dead. We really need that lady in…

For anyone wondering why this is relevant to HackerNews:

- There are tech companies and workers in companies outside California,

- A government deploying a militarized police force to execute people in the streets is bad for the economy,

- That government is the United States, and so this is bad for the world economy,

- A lot of the people in our industry are immigrants from outside the United States,

- If you're a HackerNews user in the United States, you can be shot and killed just like this.

They've been swarming everyone with multiple agents, even people that are objectively not resisting arrest [1]. That's part of what they do to provide cover. It makes it harder to see the victim in question for any bystander taping the incident. Same reason why whenever they arrest a protester they immediately surround them.

I looked at the video and have no words. Why, just why?

ICE thugs have been recruited largely from white nationalist rallies and forums. Literally, not as some kind of metaphor. DHS executives post white nationalist propaganda hourly on Twitter. Stephen Miller, an out-of-the-closet Nazi, is the acting president of the United States. Their goal is to start a race war that they believe they can win by murdering 100 million Americans.

Why is the focus on Minneapolis? Is it really the training ground for ICE? Edit: "Minnesota has the largest Somali population in the US, according to NBC. The community has been subject to widespread criticism from Mr Trump, who has called them "garbage"."

They believe that an urban area containing significant immigrant communities but surrounded on all sides by ultra-right-wing exurban and rural people, 99% of whom are white, will be easy to subjugate.

They have two agents holding his hands to the ground while another is beating him in the face with a baton repeatedly. That's not an arrest!

They're just thugs who gang up on people and use the violence they themselves are committing as proof of "resisting arrest" to justify escalating violence. There are now numerous videos of them using excessive force, like spraying a from inches away while while am agent has them pinned down, hands behind back. Or a subdued person in cuffs getting a knee to the back of their neck.
