    Your antisemitism is getting out of hand. Remember, just because an idea is popular on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true.

    This has been reported everywhere on every reputable new outlet, including Al-Jazeera.
    It’s just insane & disappointing how even anyone who calls themselves “liberal” or “rational” would dismiss this as some “conspiracy theory”. Especially those who decries ICE, but vehemently denies that the IDF or any Israeli orgs have any involvement with that Gestapo squad.

    Chris Hedges noted something similar:

    The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorized by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarized police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.

    There is a step 4 here.

    .4. The coverup.
    Destroy the evidence of the murders. Keep the real police away from the crime scene.

    They are already doing that in Minnesota with the murder of Pettri.

    Court Filing where Minnesota is suing Kristi Noem and DHS:

    But federal personnel purported to order BCA personnel to leave. According to
    reports, federal personnel may have seized cell phones, taken other evidence from the
    scene, and detained witnesses. It is unclear whether federal personnel otherwise processed
    the scene—let alone how carefully. Then just a few hours after the shooting, federal
    personnel left, allowing the perimeter to collapse and potentially spoiling evidence.

    From a law enforcement perspective, this is astonishing. The federal government’s
    actions are a sharp departure from normal best practices and procedure, in which every
    effort is taken to preserve the scene and the evidence it contains. Instead, by first
    attempting to bar BCA and then letting the scene collapse, the federal government appears
    to have taken measures that directly led to the destruction of evidence.

    This is a court filing today.
    I’ll explain it.

    ICE prevented the Minnesota BCA from securing the crime scence. The BCA is the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the state equivalent of the Federal FBI. They then just walked away after a few hours, letting the crime scene collapse.

    This is destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice. Both are criminal felonies.

    NYTimes: New York Times live blog entry by Ernesto Londoño:

    “Superintendent Evans said federal officials have refused to disclose the identities of federal agents involved in Saturday’s shooting, as well as the names of federal agents who have shot people in recent days in the course of the continuing immigration crackdown.”

    This is also probably illegal.

    ICE is refusing to identify the killers.
    There is no such thing as secret police in the USA. They don’t have the right to be anonymous killers.
    It will come out sooner or later.
    Everything important leaks sooner or later and way too many people hate ICE these days.
