The leftist mayor of Minneapolis just insinuated in a press conference that the Border Patrol murdered one of his constituents, saying “more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death.”
He also said, “I’m done being told that our community members are responsible for the vitriol in our streets. I’m done being told that our local elected officials are solely responsible for turning down the temperature.”
This is outrageous. The man was armed and was fighting with Border Patrol agents. DHS says he brandished his weapon and an officer opened fire to protect himself and his fellow officers. None of that is totally clear in the video, and it’s brazenly irresponsible to put this shooting in the terms that he did. It’s just going to inflame tensions in Minneapolis even further and put our federal officers in even more harm.
Rioters are already starting fire in the streets and it will probably only get worse, because it’s Minneapolis:
It’s time for President Trump to send in the troops.
