Shots fired after federal police in Minneapolis struggle to subdue man brandishing gun amid protests, video shows

Shots rang out in Minneapolis early Saturday after federal police tried to subdue a man who was waving around a gun, according to law enforcement sources and video posted to social media.

A 39-second clip showed about half a dozen cops struggling with someone on the sidewalk in front of a donut shop at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue, when the gunfire erupted.

The officers appeared to scatter after the shot went off, according to the footage.

The shooting happened after the man brandished a firearm with two magazines, a law enforcement source told The Post.

In a statement, city officials urged residents to stay calm and avoid the area.

“We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details,” the statement said.

I get it. As long as the communist left suffers total defeat, I hope they receive thousands of martyrs.

I assume the word Do was meant to be No.

Sorry about the typo. It should be "No". Too many distractions.

“Frey and the traitorous police chief on TV”

You got that right! These scumbags are like listening to enemy propaganda during a war.

with hands up chanting Hands up-don’t shoot

That, as we know here, was based on a total lie. The View and others repeated the lie, then Congress and other Dems, starting in 2014.

"The phrase "hands up, don't shoot" originated from initial witness reports, notably from Dorian Johnson, claiming Michael Brown had his hands raised in surrender when shot by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson in 2014. However, a 2015 Department of Justice investigation found this narrative was not supported by forensic evidence."

The "Gentle Giant" offender was looming on top of the smaller officer, his body into the police car as he was repeatedly punching and trying to strangle the officer. "I knew one more punch to my face from him and he was going to kill me."

Court trial resulted in the office being cleared but he and his family have to live in protection in another state. A lot to pay for being a good cop.

Shrug! About 110 people are shot ever day in America. It’s stupid how the news media are going crazy because one man with a gun was shot by another man with a gun. But there are good basketball games on TV today & NFL playoffs tomorrow, so I know what I’ll be watching over the weekend.

This makes me want to send in more agents not fewer. I think Minnesota has gangs, the foreigners, and the paid radical protesters, so why wouldn’t you fight there. Until the foreign mobsters are all removed, I see no reason for the Feds to back down in Minnesota.

The problem is the census will count (and overcount) these vermin - keeping more house seats for MN than they should actually have. There needs to be a significant reduction in the illegals parked in the commie states - at the same time cutting off the NGO money that flows into the commie organizzations.

The facial expressions of the mob are interesting. I don’t see expressions of shock or grief, but rather expressions of smugness or even exaltation. It’s like we got what we wanted and now the revolution begins.
