I thought you had a right to legally carry in the US?
Yeah just put it on the list of all the other rights they’re actively violating every day
Doesn’t stop a cop from deciding to kill you when they see it.
Supposedly, yes. Having a pistol on you is considered legal in most places, including Minneapolis, as long as you have a permit (ICE couldn’t have possibly known whether or not he did, it would’ve been reasonable for them to assume that he did, and was simply exercising his rights). They’re going to make the excuse that he “reached for it”. If he didn’t have his hand on the fucking gun, that logic doesn’t stand. This is bullshit, they executed a man in cold blood because they felt like it. They’re monsters, and I hope they get some kind of punishment, legal (that’s not happening) or otherwise.
Only if you are right wing
