  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yup - the man assaulted armed federal agents - fired a shot and was killed - it's a shame, it didn't need to happen and perhaps God is judging him at this very moment.

It's sad - killed while defending criminals.
Last time I looked, blowing a whistle is not a crime. Nor is it a crime to photograph a man knocking down a woman for blowing a whistle. Yet one of the perps thought it entitled him to shoot the photographer.

You couldn’t be more wrong in these charges.
Why would they be hiding those things? I mean if Trump isn't a pedophile, I would think they'd be putting the Epstein files out on social media. instead of hiding them. If Trump didn't attempt to commit voting fraud I would think they'd be deposing Jack Smith and publishing all of his evidence. If the killers in Minneapolis were not guilty of crimes, I would think ICE would be cooperating with law enforcement and sharing the evidence.

If none of that implicated them in crimes, I mean.

The video clearly shows that he never even took out his gun. Let's keep it real.
He was with a group of protesters/rioters/agitators or whatever you want to call them, and was there to interfere with federal agents doing their jobs.
The Supreme Court has ruled that photographing police doing their work is not interference and is protected by the Constitution. That's what he was doing when he was grabbed by ICE agents.

hmmm... I have NEVER called you a liar - I have too much respect for your position -
No one has called you a liar - you are, however, repeating other people's lies despite being corrected and shown how they are not true multiple times.

Either that, or, as I posited earlier, you live in some strange alternate reality.

Why not show the one who shot an unarmed woman that day? Or the ones who shot numerous teargas canisters directly into the faces of people who were in a crowd and couldn't escape?
You do realize that photo is from the Michigan state capitol, right? When militias protesting the COVID lockdowns took over the building for a few hours. No one was shot that day.

I did. As I said, clearly, you live in an alternate reality where that video shows something entirely different.

I can understand someone watching it and not being sure what happened. There is no way that you could get "the victim fired a shot" from it though.

I understand he was directing traffic.
So the "peaceful protesters" couldn't even resist harassing an agent who was simply directing traffic. They just had to pick a fight with him, and that includes the male nurse armed with a high capacity Sig Sauer P320 AXG Combat pistol: P320-AXG COMBAT

If people in Minneapolis seriously want to be peaceful in their protesting, they would stand on street corners holding up signs, or they would talk to their City Council members, or they would write to their congressmen, or they would write articles of protest in their local newspaper, or they would take to social media to state their opinions. There are many ways of being peaceful that don't resort to physically getting up in the faces of armed agents who are trying to do their job, and certainly bringing a gun to the scene creating an even worse situation.

Sorry, the victim was directing traffic. The officers were surrounding cars and punching windows.

From the witness affidavit above.

I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. Iturned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'dset up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th- There were also about 15observers there, recording and observing ICE.4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw themstopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safecontinuing on.5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped mefind a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to himand said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle."

The last 2 sentences are quite telling. Just another one of the troublemakers who heard whistles and just had to get in on the action of harassing law enforcement officers who were doing their jobs.

You trust the government? When the vis clearly contradict it? Why? What on Earth is in it for you?
I trust what I see with my own eyes.
