The full video [1]. Warning that it's graphic, and as close to an outright execution as it gets.

He did not. An ICE agent pulled the gun from Alex's holster, and Alex had both hands on the ground. The ICE agent is walking away with the pistol when other ICE agent starts unloading.

That gun looks like the extra gun one of the ICE folks have. Would you be surprised if you find out they planted it out as evidence?

They do not carry Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpions, not sure where you got that information. They especially don't carry Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpions which are riced out with attachments. [1]

I’m no gun guy but that looks like an sig optic on an sig pistol. First party accessories qualifies as rice to you?

Yeah, ICE and CBP officers do not carry optics on pistols. Feel free to show me the ICE or CBP purchase order for Sig Sauer Emperor Scorpions, it's all public so it shouldn't take long!

That's if you can get around the Minneapolis Police Chief confirming it was his gun, which might be a steep hill!

I’m not arguing who owns the gun. He has a right to carry and it was clearly holstered.

It’s amazing how the right is claiming he deserved to die because he was legally exercising his rights. This is what fascism in America looks like.

Looks to me from two video angles like ICE initiated pushing and pepper spraying of peaceful protestors, then after they have wrestled the guy to the ground and one of them was hitting him in the head, they shoot him. I don't see where the dude pulled a gun on them. At any rate, this is 100% ICE initiated conflict.

I didn't see even an attempt to arrest. What I saw was an ass-whoopin'.

There is a bypass paywall clean that is very useful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_Paywalls_Clean

Tantamount to malware, considering how it has been legally exiled from 3 platforms, especially Google's own extension store!

Good luck trusting that supply chain, man!

I don't read the plugin's source for every release, but I do check its domain allowlist.

Because I can see it is forbidden from running on any domain I'm concerned about, I consider BPC safer to run than any plugin that works for "all domains".

Usually, I restrict any extension to be "click to activate" and that works just fine. There is often no need to have anything running on every domain and every website. So it does ultimately become a whitelisting situation of my own configuration.

The Nazis won't learn until the people of Minneapolis deal with them the way locals dealt with invaders in Afghanistan. There is another three-letter acronym starting with I that comes to mind.

(from your profile, as of this comment)

You can click hide in posts you want to ignore while a country burns down, that’s easier than commenting about it. Commenting rather than hiding it and ignoring it is signal.

(you posted two days ago about Trump, Cook, and the unlawful attempts to unseat a Fed official https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46715592 ; unlawful street executions are relevant to those on US soil at risk)
