Context: The handgun image in this post is a recent photo from the 01/24/2026, Minneapolis shooting incident, as released by DHS.
— Jon Elder (@BlackLabelAdvsr) January 25, 2026
Claims that it’s old stem from a misinterpretation of reverse image search results; the photo was uploaded today to a pre-existing Reddit thread.
This is false.
— Tal Hagin (@talhagin) January 24, 2026
The result you're seeing is due to a faulty Google Lens catalog result - It's mixing up the image with a real post/date.
That image does appear on that Reddit thread, but it was posted just a few hours ago. https://t.co/17xm7EjtgY pic.twitter.com/Fu9HuGwl5l

The liberal strategy on this, I guess, is since not enough people don't care about brown people being arrested and abused for being brown people, let's get as many dumbass white liberals to start physical confrontations with ICE agents that will always end in ICE 7, Confrontational Liberal 0. And that's not to say that the ICE agent is always right or is ever right even once in the situation for shooting the other person, but that the angry white liberal is never ever ever going to come out the winner in that situation.
If you think that's a cause worth throwing your life away for, by all means let's thin the herd of these dumbass white liberals who think they can confront armed feds and come out the winner. Less future idiots who will vote for vapid idiots like Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, et al.
Better smarter strategy is to protest non-violently with your voice and your words and your signs, and your stupid chants and stop threatening armed feds who are looking for any excuse to shoot you.
This argument is self-contradictory several times over and basically advocates for the same feckless response you criticize Dem politicians for. I guess this is the result of being nominally against ICE but also needing to always position yourself against those annoying liberals for some reason.
MLK found a way to protest non-violently and won the hearts and minds of people as a result. There were people that participated that were murdered, but they didn't do anything to provoke the people that killed them.
What? MLK's people absolutely knew they were provoking the cops. In those days, sitting at a segregated lunch counter was sure to provoke a response. They did that on purpose, knowing that the violet crackdown would engender sympathy when the TV cameras captured it. This was their whole strategy. I'm not sure how much you actually know about this history.
Yes, they protested non-violently. Can you argue that the guy killed today was doing anything violent?
He did physically push an ICE agent
When?
Right about the 30 second mark of that video when he got in between the ICE agent and the woman on the ground
Wrong. He stepped in between, no push. Only push was from ICE.Newly published footage of today’s shooting of 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti by agents with Border Patrol and Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. pic.twitter.com/oqo7Kp4wR6
— OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) January 25, 2026
The camera turns away when I think the push happens.
Not there from this angle either.The gun is removed by an ice agent before they start shooting and then the other agents start panicking asking where the gun is after he’s shot

He definitely puts hands on the ICE agent at the 3/4 second mark
You said he pushed him. Where?
When he put hands on him at the 3/4 second mark. Put his arm into the ICE agent and that's a no no. Like bumping a ref in football.
So you've retreated from "pushed" to "put hands." Oh no, he touched the ICE agent as he moved past him.
Remember that this whole thread started with me saying that Pretti behaved non-violently. I think I'll stand by that.
I'm not retreating, my bad I haven't memorized the incident like you have. Did he put hands on an ICE agent? Did he get in between an ICE agent and another individual? He's no longer just an observer when he put himself in those situations.
Yes, I already said Pretti put himself in between the agent and the woman he was pushing around. You said he pushed the agent. He did not.
Now you're just arguing semantics. He put his hands on the agent and interfered
I don't care what anyone says.

I'm gonna say the difference between "pushed the agent" and "put hands on" is pretty big, but if you admit there was no push then okay.

Misinterpreting a situation (and posing it as a question) is quite different than repeatedly lying as certain people and agencies have been doing ad nauseum, but I agree with this tweet that good journalism is very important. Journalism seems like it is in decline with more and more outlets getting bought by people who are more loyal to Trump (or wealth/access) than to the survival of our democracy. For example the WaPo and LA Times owners blocking editorials critical of Trump, Trump suing "60 Minutes" and then CBS getting new owners/managers and trying to appease him.
And has had a VERY adversarial relationship with journalism....look at all this stuff from 2017 and prior, to say nothing of what has been said and done since then:

DiabloWags said:SBGold said:

Yup.
Many here see absolutely nothing wrong with how Trump has been using ICE.
Notice that not a single poster has ever questioned why there has been no effort by Trump to de-escalate. Instead, every one of these Pro Trumpers wind up BLAMING the victim and claim that the use of DEADLY FORCE was legit, even if it meant 10 shots fired on an unarmed U.S. citizen.
Not even a single mention of using a Taser.
Or any notion of de-escalation expressed.
Such is the life of a keyboard warrior.
Reality is just a video game.
No empathy required.

I agree that it makes no sense to confront people with guns who a) are not local and b) ready to use them. It's more like US soldiers in Iraq than police who are under the auspices of government

He moved in front of a LEO, got between the LEO and the lady while the LEO was engaged with her. This is not okay. He was an idiot that created a situation for himself. Stay on the street and protest peacefully and you go home to your loved ones. Do stupid **** and you create the possibility of something tragically bad happening. This is not complicated.
Any words for the ICE officer who was shoving women around who seemed to pose no threat?
If someone is obstructing, threatening or interfering arrest them. Letting the courts handle it is better than pushing people to the ground. If they are not obstructing, threatening or interfering then keep your hands to yourself.
