If you claim to support the second amendment and are not outraged by this nonsense, you don't actually support the second amendment. Full stop.
Horrible. This is a remarkably irresponsible statement. It is vile to cast such remarkably negative aspersions on a dead man in the absence of evidence. Lawful concealed carry (police have said he had a carry permit) is not evidence of a desire to commit mass murder.

Beyond ridiculous and terrifying.
The BCA Force Investigations Unit has been requested by Minneapolis police to investigate this morning’s federal agent-involved shooting in Minneapolis. Our agents and crime scene personnel attempted to access the location but were blocked by @DHSgov personnel at the scene.

An honest government wouldn’t be sending this to their mouthpiece within minutes of a shooting. Also, doesn’t this show the tampering of evidence without sufficient chain of custody?

BREAKING: DHS tells @FoxNews the suspect was armed with a gun, which has been recovered by federal agents.

“Wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” This is wildly irresponsible speculation, regardless of the situation.
At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.  The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.  The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.    About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.  This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
the man can be seen holding a phone and approaching a woman who was shoved, when an officer throws him to the ground. at no point is the man seen approaching officers while holding a gun. 3 angles of the altercation: x.com/i/status/20151… x.com/i/status/20151… x.com/i/status/20151… what has been confirmed about the man who was killed: x.com/i/status/20151…

Show real leadership then and demand ICE release detained witnesses and actually let the investigation occur instead of obstructing.

And detaining witnesses and taking them off scene are the result of these policies too? Give me a break

And they're detaining witnesses to prevent anyone from talking who may have contradictory details. Disgusting.
It is reasonable to question the validity and accuracy of statements released from the White House and DHS, especially after the White House published a doctored photo of Nekima Levy Armstrong. Question everything. Proceed with caution.

Detaining witnesses and taking them off scene to a restricted government building is about as authoritarian as it gets. Do they have access to counsel? What was their crime? Witnessing a murder?

We are encouraged by the President’s announcement of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. This is an important decision that restores some short-term certainty to global markets, including the American medtech industry, which is number one globally. 1/2
