This Is State Murder. The Feds Are Killing Americans for Filming Them. And Republicans Are Letting It Happen

Stop deluding yourselves.

What happened in Minneapolis was no accident or mix up. It was raw deliberate brutality unleashed by the federal government to crush a citizen daring to exercise their sacred constitutional right.

A man was filming federal agents in broad daylight on public ground. That is not some gray area or optional privilege. That is ironclad First Amendment protection. Period.

The footage captures these thugs dragging him away just for recording. That seizure alone was blatantly illegal. Federal agents have zero right to grab detain or assault anyone for simply watching and documenting their actions in public.

Then they pummeled him savagely.

Then they pinned him down like an animal.

Then they gunned him down in cold blood.

That is not policing. That is a straight up murder after they already had him subdued. That is the state slaughtering a witness who dared to expose their crimes.

Anyone still babbling about public safety is either a liar or a coward refusing to see the truth.

ICE and the rest of these federal goon squads have rampaged for years ramping up their aggression while demanding blind obedience. They storm into neighborhoods loaded with weapons like invading armies. They block every scrap of transparency. They sabotage oversight at every turn. They lash out viciously at anyone who records their abuses. And now innocent people keep winding up dead over and over.

This is authoritarian thuggery unfolding right before our eyes.

The most infuriating outrage comes right after each atrocity. These officials beg us to wait patiently. To trust their sham internal probes. To dismiss the horrors we see with our own eyes. To swallow the lies spewed by the very monsters who committed the violence. They dangle accountability like a carrot always just out of reach until the fury fades the spotlight shifts and nothing changes.

Republican leaders sit on their hands refusing to lift a finger because this savagery feeds their twisted agenda. They enable and cheer on the bloodshed turning a blind eye to the carnage. Democrats are stuck issuing hollow condemnations without the muscle or guts to slam the brakes on it immediately. So the beatings and killings grind on in this void of spineless inaction.

Do not be fooled. These acts are flat out criminal. They shred the First Amendment. They trample due process. They mock every rule on use of force. They spit on the core truth that government bows to the Constitution not lords over it.

Prosecutions will come crashing down eventually. They must. History screams this loud and clear. When a regime lets its enforcers batter and execute civilians for merely observing the bill comes due. It gets postponed but when the tides of power turn that delayed justice hits like a hammer.

The federal government is courting disaster by acting like gods above the law.

This is why rage is boiling over. This is why terror grips communities. This is why Americans whisper about protecting themselves.

Not out of bloodlust but raw survival instinct. They see the state greenlighting abductions assaults and executions on open streets.

Self defense starts with refusing to cower. With clinging to your rights even under death threats. With capturing the proof unmasking the tyrants defying their intimidation and forcing the Constitution down the throats of these rogue agents.

A regime that views a camera as a mortal enemy knows damn well it is breaking every law in the book. A regime that answers exposure with bullets has plunged into tyranny with no way back through empty words.

Minneapolis is no fluke. It is a blazing alarm.

If Americans cannot film federal agents without courting death the First Amendment is a dead letter. If citizens get brutalized and slaughtered for bearing witness the bond between people and government is shattered by the state itself.

Treat this with the blistering urgency it demands. Not as some mild dispute or talking point. But as the naked evil it is.

State sponsored terror. Lawless brutality. And a government taunting its people to submit or die.

That challenge demands a thunderous roar in response not meek whispers.
