ICE K*LLS ANOTHER U.S. CITIZEN IN MINNEAPOLIS | Luke Thomas Gets Political · Luke Thomas Gets Political (LTGP)

• 0:00
  ICE has killed another US citizen in
• 0:03
  Minneapolis today. We're going to take a
• 0:05
  look at some of the footage and some of
• 0:06
  the things that we understand about the
• 0:08
  scenario, but please understand me now.
• 0:10
  And if there is anyone in your orbit,
• 0:12
  anyone you know who might be on the
• 0:14
  fence about what to do about ICE, might
• 0:16
  be concerned about ICE, or maybe even
• 0:18
  just doesn't understand the threat of
• 0:20
  ICE, you need to send this to them. You
• 0:22
  need to let them know the time is now.
• 0:24
  If we don't put a stop to this, if we
• 0:28
  don't put a stop to this, there will be
• 0:29
  nothing left to preserve when they're
• 0:31
  done with us.
• 0:33
  Understand what ICE is. They are a
• 0:37
  paramilitary operation of the executive
• 0:40
  branch who will do whatever they want in
• 0:44
  defying all laws, all norms, all values,
• 0:47
  all customs in pursuit of an of an
• 0:50
  ethnostate.
• 0:52
  That is what they are. They are they are
• 0:56
  federal agents for a project of
• 0:58
  demography. And they'll violate the
• 1:01
  Fourth Amendment by entering homes
• 1:03
  without a warrant. And they'll kill you
• 1:06
  for exercising your First Amendment
• 1:08
  rights and then call you a domestic
• 1:10
  terrorist. And I'm not even talking
• 1:13
  about Renee Good, the woman who was
• 1:14
  killed first by ICE
• 1:17
  in early January.
• 1:19
  That is what is at stake. I it would
• 1:22
  everybody was willing to look the other
• 1:25
  way when they were rounding up the folks
• 1:27
  who look for jobs outside of Home Depot
• 1:28
  because that's well that's not great but
• 1:30
  that's their problem. Well really the
• 1:32
  reality is now it's your problem too.
• 1:35
  They will come to your city and they
• 1:37
  will do whatever they want. They will
• 1:40
  break any law. They have been told by
• 1:43
  the federal administration that they
• 1:46
  have impunity to do what they want. And
• 1:49
  the reality is you've got these seven
• 1:52
  traitors in Congress, and I'm going to
• 1:54
  put their faces up here and their names
• 1:56
  right here in Congress on the Democratic
• 1:59
  side who voted just this week to give
• 2:02
  this organization who is literally
• 2:05
  defying the Constitution and murdering
• 2:07
  Americans
• 2:09
  more money.
• 2:11
  They are growing the surveillance state.
• 2:14
  They are violating, as I indicated,
• 2:16
  every single law that they feel like
• 2:18
  they want to violate and they are doing
• 2:20
  it with absolute impunity. They are
• 2:23
  being funded to an enormous degree. They
• 2:26
  would be the 13th most powerful military
• 2:28
  in the world on their own in terms of
• 2:30
  budgeting.
• 2:32
  They're bigger than all of the other
• 2:33
  federal law enforcement agencies,
• 2:34
  including the FBI and whatnot combined.
• 2:37
  And you've got seven Dems giving them
• 2:40
  money. Now, I'm going to come back to
• 2:42
  all of this, but I just kind of wanted
• 2:44
  to set the tone. Everybody was willing
• 2:46
  to look the other way because only a
• 2:48
  small portion, I guess, of Americans
• 2:50
  vocally really care about immigrants.
• 2:52
  It's not true that there's not support
• 2:53
  for immigrants broadly, but when ICE was
• 2:55
  doing its terror campaign on all those
• 2:57
  folks, people were willing to look the
• 2:59
  other way, but the reality is they will
• 3:00
  not be stopped. This is this is yes, it
• 3:03
  is about an creating an ethnostate, but
• 3:06
  it is about much more than that. As I've
• 3:08
  talked about, it is about what they
• 3:09
  consider to be writing the wrongs of
• 3:11
  ordinary policing. And by wrongs, I mean
• 3:13
  restraints on them. That they believe in
• 3:16
  no restraint. As I indicated, they will
• 3:19
  they will absolutely
• 3:22
  violate your Fourth Amendment rights in
• 3:24
  pursuit of what they want to do. All so
• 3:26
  we can engage in terror campaigns in
• 3:28
  communities that ripping these people
• 3:30
  out out of these places and enforcing
• 3:32
  the the the laws in such a way will
• 3:36
  bring us absolute national harm. We are
• 3:40
  this is a slow version. I won't know if
• 3:43
  a suicide is quite the right word, but
• 3:45
  this is the most insane, reckless
• 3:48
  national self harm that combined with
• 3:51
  what was happening at Health and Human
• 3:54
  Services, combined with, you mean, you
• 3:56
  name it, with this this hell that we're
• 3:57
  living through. This is one of the most
• 4:00
  urgent political times of my life. If
• 4:04
  you are a person who believes in the
• 4:06
  restraint on government power, the time
• 4:09
  to get involved is now.
• 4:12
  It is now. It was already too long ago,
• 4:14
  but it is definitely now. It is now.
• 4:18
  They will do understand they will do
• 4:21
  whatever they want. There are no rules.
• 4:25
  They'll do whatever they want. And today
• 4:28
  in Minneapolis, they killed another
• 4:31
  American. And this one is so unambiguous
• 4:35
  in terms of what we're looking at. This
• 4:37
  is not the Renee Goodwin was like,
• 4:38
  "Well, is she driving into him or
• 4:39
  driving away?" And blah blah blah. And I
• 4:41
  realize that even that's a bad faith
• 4:42
  debate, but I'm just pointing out there
• 4:44
  was, you know, some zaprrudering.
• 4:45
  There's it's really not that not that
• 4:47
  difficult to understand. He was 37 years
• 4:50
  old, a US citizen. He was exercising his
• 4:53
  first amendment rights. He had a gun on
• 4:55
  him, which we'll talk about in just a
• 4:56
  second. What will we talk about it now?
• 4:59
  It was holstered. Uh they took it off of
• 5:01
  him, and only after they took it off of
• 5:03
  him did they shoot him. He was unarmed.
• 5:06
  He had a legal right to carry. a US
• 5:09
  citizen exercising his first amendment
• 5:11
  rights. They kill this guy and then they
• 5:14
  have to nerve to put up this message
• 5:17
  about what what what they consider to be
• 5:19
  actually happening which any this is why
• 5:21
  it's so important to film ICE because it
• 5:23
  just shows that the government will lie
• 5:26
  they will they will lie not just about
• 5:28
  anything but they will lie about how do
• 5:31
  I say this? There's nothing that that
• 5:32
  they won't exaggerate that you they're
• 5:35
  utterly untrustworthy. Let's take a look
• 5:37
  at some of this and let's talk more
• 5:39
  about it.
• 5:59
  Oh [ __ ] What the [ __ ]
• 6:04
  Did they [ __ ] KILL THAT GUY? ARE YOU
• 6:06
  [ __ ] KIDDING ME, DUDE?
• 6:10
  Not again. Are you [ __ ] kidding me?
• 6:15
  >> So, that's the basic video that
• 6:16
  everyone's reaction to today. I can't
• 6:18
  play the audio, but you can hear
• 6:19
  multiple four or five shots ring out.
• 6:21
  And then the guys who are observing are
• 6:23
  like, "What the f? What the f? They did
• 6:24
  it again. They killed this guy." It's I
• 6:26
  had to take it off because there's music
• 6:28
  playing in the background and YouTube
• 6:29
  will flag it and I don't want that to
• 6:30
  happen. But you get the idea. Now, look
• 6:32
  at this. Here's how you know it was a
• 6:35
  state execution. As you can see from
• 6:36
  this tweet, this again, US citizen. And
• 6:40
  you could see the ICE or the CBP agent
• 6:42
  shoot him, but they remove his firearm
• 6:45
  from his holster first. Watch this.
• 6:55
  Here we go.
• 6:57
  Look what Look, look, look, look, look.
• 7:01
  There they go. The guy in the gray takes
• 7:03
  it out. So now he's unarmed. He has
• 7:06
  nothing on him because the agent now has
• 7:08
  it. That's what you're looking at. And
• 7:10
  then they shoot him. Look, they pull it
• 7:11
  out. He's on his knees.
• 7:16
  And then they killed him not long after
• 7:18
  this.
• 7:20
  So you can clearly see by the time or I
• 7:23
  should say by the time they shoot him,
• 7:25
  he has he is unarmed US citizen
• 7:28
  exercising his first amendment rights,
• 7:31
  legally carried,
• 7:33
  no criminal background,
• 7:36
  and they just they just executed him.
• 7:39
  They just executed him on the streets.
• 7:44
  So, this is the video Drop Site News
• 7:46
  obtained of a woman who's on the other
• 7:48
  side of what the agents saw. And you can
• 7:51
  see all these people trying to disrupt
• 7:52
  them. This is the guy right here, the
• 7:54
  guy who just passed on the right. Let's
• 7:56
  see if I can go back. It appears to be
• 7:58
  this guy. Let's see. This one. I believe
• 8:00
  it's this one here on the street. I I
• 8:02
  have to double check.
• 8:06
  >> Go.
• 8:10
  Yeah, it's him, I think.
• 8:17
  >> What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] is wrong
• 8:20
  with you?
• 8:35
  the [ __ ] people. The [ __ ] is wrong with
• 8:38
  you? Honestly,
• 8:56
  THE [ __ ] DID YOU JUST DO?
• 8:59
  WHAT THE [ __ ] did you JUST DO?
• 9:02
  >> WHAT THE [ __ ]
• 9:04
  >> What the [ __ ]
• 9:08
  OH MY GOD.
• 9:12
  Oh my god.
• 9:15
  Oh my god. Oh my god. The [ __ ] did you
• 9:19
  just do? THE [ __ ] DID YOU JUST DO?
• 9:27
  HE IS. SOMEBODY call the ambulance.
• 9:30
  Somebody call the ambulance.
• 9:32
  >> Somebody needs to call the ambulance.
• 9:36
  >> Somebody call 911.
• 9:38
  I can't believe they just did that. Holy
• 9:41
  [ __ ] Holy [ __ ]
• 9:45
  Just Okay. Get Come on.
• 9:49
  Come on.
• 9:54
  Oh my god. You [ __ ] people, man.
• 9:56
  You're [ __ ] killing us. Why would you
• 9:59
  do that?
• 10:04
  >> OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. I I CAN'T BELIEVE
• 10:07
  I'm seeing this. I can't believe I'm
• 10:08
  seeing this.
• 10:09
  >> Oh my god.
• 10:10
  >> Come on. Come on. Come on. Come. Come
• 10:12
  here. Come on.
• 10:15
  >> Come here.
• 10:34
  The police chief later confirmed, as
• 10:36
  I've been saying this whole video, US
• 10:37
  citizen, obviously legal resident, legal
• 10:40
  to carry, no criminal history other than
• 10:42
  traffic tickets or something like that.
• 10:44
  Nothing more serious than a speeding or
• 10:47
  parking violation. That is it.
• 10:52
  A legal observer exercising his First
• 10:54
  Amendment rights. And they killed him
• 10:57
  for it. This is Donald Trump's America.
• 11:01
  This is what he wants. This is the
• 11:03
  America that he envisions, not merely
• 11:05
  for Minnesota, but for you.
• 11:09
  For you and everyone you love and
• 11:12
  everyone you care about. They don't care
• 11:16
  about anything that matters to people
• 11:19
  who respect restraints on federal power,
• 11:22
  safety and security in their communities
• 11:24
  and the kinds of things that bring
• 11:26
  communities together and the kinds of
• 11:28
  things that shape positive national
• 11:31
  identity. It is the federal government
• 11:34
  at war with the people of Minneapolis.
• 11:36
  It's the federal government at war with
• 11:38
  the people who will live in blue cities
• 11:39
  or blue states.
• 11:42
  That is what this is. and they'll do
• 11:44
  anything that they want, including
• 11:46
  killing people, exercising their
• 11:48
  constitutional rights in order to do it.
• 11:51
  Folks, I'm begging you. I am begging you
• 11:54
  to understand what the problem is here.
• 11:57
  This is one of, if not the most severe
• 11:59
  threat to civil liberties in this
• 12:01
  country in my entire lifetime.
• 12:07
  They are not playing around and they
• 12:10
  don't care about restraint. And I'm
• 12:12
  telling you, those seven Democrats who
• 12:14
  voted to fund ICE need to be primared
• 12:18
  and voted out as fast as the electoral
• 12:21
  calendar will allow. And the senators of
• 12:25
  either party, but certainly the Dems do
• 12:28
  not vote for DHS funding, which is due
• 12:31
  by January 30th, I believe. Nothing. Not
• 12:34
  one vote. Anyone, and I mean anyone on
• 12:37
  the Dem side who votes for this must be
• 12:39
  voted out. This party of weakness has to
• 12:43
  stop laying down. It is time as that
• 12:47
  party apparatus to stand up and do
• 12:50
  something.
• 12:52
  Gum up the works as much as possible. As
• 12:55
  I've been saying, maximum friction.
• 12:58
  They'll kill us. They'll put us in
• 13:01
  prison. They'll disappear families. and
• 13:05
  they'll deport people who make this
• 13:07
  country better
• 13:09
  on mass if we don't stop them. The time
• 13:13
  to get together to push back against ICE
• 13:17
  is right now. It is a matter of life and
• 13:21
  death.
