This looks really bad. Did the man pull a gun as he was fearing for his own life from the tactics of the ICE agents and, once a gun appeared, it was all over for that man . . .

There's got to be a better way to deal with these kind of situations and, is IDF training a factor here?

According to some news, some other ICE officers shot another person in Minneapolis.

Yes, 37-year-old White Male, Alex Pretti. The Department of Homeland Security said he had a handgun and “violently resisted” when agents tried to disarm him.

Also, a major demo against ICE presence in Minneapolis today:

In the second video underneath the reply to @amuse, the video lasting 1:14, you see the agent who shot him:

I can't see why he had to do that. Pretti was on his knees, head down, and not going anywhere. He was armed beforehand, but his gun had just been taken off him.

Interesting combination of names - Pretti Goode.

I disagree with the comment here: It doesn't show Pretti "reaching for his holster at 27 seconds". He's already got 3 bullets in him by then.

You see the first shot is fired into Pretti by ICE-agent-in-green-jacket after ICE-agent-in-grey-jacket has turned away with Pretti's gun in his hand.

As said before:

The conditions now seem such that things are not going to go well, osit.

Another angle:

Straight up execution.

Agree with this comment to a Sott article (my emphasis):

Question: Is all this ICE activity for the roundup of illegal immigrants or is it practice and testing systems for a future which is coming down the pipe for all US citizens? and very probably the rest of the western world.

Our economies have 2 or 3 years at most before they implode. What happens then?
