This despicably misleading headline is exactly why the American people have completely lost faith in the mainstream media. This journalist knows the facts, was given the truth, and adamantly refuses to report it.

Here are the facts:

At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.

In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot.

The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick.

Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg.

All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside.

The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody.

Frey is getting nervous about this spiraling out of control.

If his citizenry continues their felonious acts, it will, and not in his favor.

My local 11 PM news played the clip of Mayor Frey speaking about the shooting...

He was indeed looking nervous...He asked people to calm down a little bit...Mayor said something about President Trump's "chaos"...He said that people should not respond to President's "chaos" with their "chaos"...

If it were a cop shooting a 115 pound unarmed woman protesting Biden’s election in the neck.

Her crawling through a tight passage where she could not have posed a reasonable threat (slow and restricted movement).

The cop having to step forward out of his safe position to get a good shot off.

The cop bragging about his political views prior to the event.

The MSM would be defending the action of the cop.

Very different tone from the coverage today: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jan-6-rioter-ashli-babbitt-offered-full-military-funeral-air-force-con-rcna227815

Republicans = bad

Democrats = good

That simple.

...federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop...

The Feds are making traffic stops? That should be a big no-no. People are going to die if they keep doing this.

Perhaps someone of Frey’s staff handed him some federal insurrection statutes—and he realized he had already violated them.

While the administration has not shown any teeth yet in seizing and jailing Democrat officials for aiding and abetting insurrection—Frey may have some reason to believe that he could be a “first”.

“That should be a big no-no.”

Are you trying to be funny? Traffic stops are a vital part of law enforcement.

You missed my point. The Feds do not make traffic stops.

I don’t believe they enforce state and local traffic laws, but Federal LEO’s can surely conduct a vehicle stop to apprehend a criminal.

Who cares how it worked out.
They are inforcing the law. Something local cops are not doing. Are they supposed to limit that by not arresting people driving?

It is useful in isolating the suspect away from innocent and non-participants. The feds should have doner a traffic stop on David Koresh instead of trying to arrest him at this compound. It would have been a totally different outcome.
