Shots fired after federal police in Minneapolis struggle to subdue man brandishing gun amid protests, video shows
NY Post ^ | 1/24/26 | Kathianne Boniello, Geoff Earle

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’ve seen soldiers tape two banana magazines together so you just have to drop one flip it over and stick the other one in.

They are trying to force Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act so the Left will spend the next three years creating the narrative that he's a Dictator because he's using the military in an American city.

Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Cleveland, Wilson, Hoover, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, George H. W. Bush. all invoked the Insurrection Act.

Obviously, Lincoln had to deal with the Civil War. But other Presidents didn't really get heat over it.

“...a firearm with two magazines...” WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THOSE?

Why settle for two? You can get a Glock carbine kit that has one magazine in the grip and two spares.

Culling the herd of crazies. Keep shooting the crazy bass turds and then start throwing the “learers” in prison or deport their asses. American doesn’t need thieving Salami Somalies wandering on our soil.

It’s beyond me how anyone could even be outside on the street today.
Right now it’s -6 degrees in Minneapolis with a wind chill of -21. Later tonight it will be even more brutal. I just shake my head at this insanity. Some of these rioters are going to die of hypothermia.

“So when will the Feds arrest Tim Walz, Jacob Grey and Keith Ellison?”

************

The Feds are VERBALLY arresting them to make it appear that they are doing something. Lots of rhetoric but no real actions, accountability or consequences.

Threaded barrel, aftermarket flared mag well, two tone, custom grips. Not exactly EDC unless you’re a gangsta. What are odds it’s stolen?

If this was the other way around, let’s say they were all (R) instead of (D) and Biden was still the POTUS, they would have been in prison a week ago.
