Sagan: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us…. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

A partial government shutdown is increasingly likely following the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old ICU nurse by a Border Patrol officer, an incident that has hardened Democratic opposition to a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that includes money for ICE and Border Patrol.

Government shutdown risk grows as DHS funding stalls after fatal Minnesota shooting

A fatal Border Patrol shooting in Minnesota has intensified Democratic opposition to a DHS funding bill, raising the risk of a partial government shutdown ahead of a Jan. 30 deadline.

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.
