ANOTHER ICE SHOOTING IN Minneapolis

This doesn't change my opinion of his shooting, but you can't say he wasn't warned...

It’s amazing how people can be so radicalized that they lose all sense of what’s right and wrong.

I don't think any officer(LEO) (especially this 8 year veteran) wakes up hoping they kill someone. They just want to do their shift and go home to their family every night.....I don't blame them for doing what they think is necessary to not die. 

 I carry most of the time, my biggest fear is having to pull my weapon and use it.  Not only the thought I killed someone, someone's parent or child, I'll have to live with that but it could bankrupt me in court, even if proven justified. 

For me, I hope my Son or anyone I care for wouldn't act so stupidly interfering with LEO's trying to do an already hard job. 

 

I think people would be surprised to find that most veterans don’t own firearms.

While I’m one of the 47% minority, I don’t carry. My home is a different matter entirely.

His parents also warned him not to confront the officers. Also, it didn’t appear to me that he was in any way assisting the woman. Looked as if he was almost attacking her. He still shouldn’t be dead, but hey, poke the bear.

There as a period of time I didn't.....

I was finding myself going to places that I normally wouldn't without a gun....made me think I was putting myself in dumb places

Now I won't go somewhere I would only go if I'm carrying....

Traveling to Austin, I'm bringing it along with 2 additional clips so I can be like @bullets13 🤣

From the article:  “Federal agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement just secured a major legal win that clears the way for them to handle disruptions during deportation operations in Minnesota without unnecessary handcuffs. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stepped in on Monday and issued a full stay on a lower court’s ruling that had limited how ICE officers could respond to protesters in the Twin Cities area!”

Neighbor is a retired policeman then detective for a local police department. He used to work with the HPD Gang/Drug Task Force on special assignments occasionally. He would tell me he felt 'naked' without carrying his firearm--even on vacation. I asked him once if he'd ever had to use it. He said 'No.'

He knows some of my background. He asked if I'd ever had to use my training. I told him 'Yes, and that's why I don't carry.'

This is what I mentioned a few post ago - I've read articles of people that have had to use their training, and they have difficulty dealing with it. I hope I never put myself in the situation to make that choice. I'm not a huge hunter because I'm not a fan of killing animals.  I will do it for meat, but never for trophy.  

Appreciate your Sacrifices and Service!

@DCT  @UT alum

Alex Pretti broke rib in confrontation with federal agents a week before death....

It is a CNN article using "sources' - so it could likely not be true......but if it is.....

Can we stop with the narrative he just happen to be there helping folks.......He's an illegal protestor twice that we know of (if true)

And if true, it was just a matter of time before he would get hurt.....or dead
