Of course, the usual Lefties are thrilled.
This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved lied under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted.

If Minnesota had cooperated with ICE agents, none of this would have happened. Tim Walz and Keith Ellison are the people who should be arrested.
Minneapolis, wasting tax dollars, keeping the anti-ICE narrative alive. If only they put half this much energy into helping legal citizens.

He is an illegal alien and he has no rights. He was shot during an attack. Too bad, so sad.

In other countries, people there illegally could be shot on sight. This guy is luck America is such an empathetic nation.

If he had a warrant out for his arrest, and was resisting officers, isn't a non-lethal shot appropriate?
I think it’s time DOJ start charging local politicians for inciting violence and obstruction. Add aiding and abetting for illegally harboring illegal immigrants. Them charge the police cheif for dereliction on duty since he ordered police NOT to do their job and protect citizens.

That's a great idea!
All of which will be thrown out in court. 💯

100% self-defense
Boy, @TheDemocrats throw away so much $ on filing BS legal cases. 🙄 wonder where that $ comes from?🤡
Hopefully, the judge and jury will follow the evidence and deliver a just verdict. That said, it's difficult to have much confidence in a fair trial in Minnesota right now.
