In the press conference today, Minneapolis Police Chief O’Hara said something very important:
“The video speaks for itself. What I can tell you is we have identified this person, a 37-year-old white male resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law-enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he was a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.”
This quote occurs around 13:25 in the above video.
To every Don’t Tread On Me, 2nd Amendment, libertarian streaked American — how many of you actually believe in the things you say? Do you believe in those things only for yourself or are other Americans also included? Are you going to stand up now and demand the resignation of the Trump Administration and everyone in government that enabled the use of masked, heavily armed, unaccountable federal agents to murder American citizens, break into their homes without a proper warrant, illegally detain them by the thousands, terrorize entire communities, and now pin them down and shoot them to death for lawfully carrying a gun? How many of you are you going to stand up for your values now? And how many of you are complete hypocrites that can shut up forever about the 2nd Amendment, individual liberties, and trampling of rights by the federal government?
