Stopping witness aims to put a whole community in a non thinking mode - and it is the road to totalitarianism

Alex Pretti murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis. Empty hand raised. The state lied. This is authoritarianism. Law enforcement is now a death squad. Read the analysis:

If you give someone a gun. Guess what?

If the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis had not obstructed federal agents from doing their jobs, none of this would have happened. ICE agents are not crowd-control units. They are not trained or equipped to manage agitators or public unrest. That is the role of state and local law enforcement.

The responsibility lies squarely with officials who refused to provide that support—and with those who have spent years turning ICE agents into boogeymen. These agents are overwhelmingly tasked with arresting individuals who have committed serious crimes while living in the country illegally. Instead, the media has labeled them Nazis and portrayed them as inherently evil.

That rhetoric has consequences. It fuels fervor and vitriol. It encourages people to defy lawful orders, to keep driving when told to stop, to show up armed at active law-enforcement operations. Bloodshed doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When authority is undermined and demonized, escalation becomes inevitable.
