Crowd yells ‘cowards!’ after federal agents crash into a car and fire tear gas in Minneapolis

F

Fine Frog

Federal agents faced a hostile crowd in Minneapolis on Monday, with protesters shouting "cowards!" as they dispersed tear gas to break up the group. The scene unfolded just days after a woman was fatally shot by an immigration agent last week.

The incident occurred near the Bishop Whipple Federal Building, where a man had been questioned by agents following a car crash involving immigration officers. A crowd gathered to witness the situation and were met with a cloud of tear gas deployed by federal authorities.

Protesters attempted to avoid the gas, while others were doused in water after being sprayed with pepper spray. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with people screaming and trying to escape the tear gas.

The incident is part of a growing trend of protests and vigils across the US in response to the Trump administration's immigration policies, particularly following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good. Her death has sparked widespread condemnation, with Governor Tim Walz and other officials calling for an investigation into the incident.

In related news, federal authorities have filed charges against a Venezuelan national who was shot by US Border Patrol in Portland, Oregon. The individual allegedly used his pickup truck to strike the patrol vehicle before fleeing with a woman. While their injuries were not life-threatening, the FBI noted that there is no video evidence of the incident.
 
OMG 🤯 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... federal agents being met with a hostile crowd in Minneapolis? Like, isn't that what police unions are for? 😒 And what's up with the tear gas? Can't they just call it quits when things get heated? 🚫 I mean, I get it, protests can get out of hand, but does that justify deploying pepper spray and tear gas on civilians?

And hold up, so we're filing charges against some guy from Venezuela who allegedly used his truck to hit a patrol vehicle... without any video evidence? 📹 Like, isn't that suspicious? We're supposed to believe he just happened to drive into the officer's car by accident? 🙄

I need more info on this one... where are the sources? Why no body cams or dashcams from the US Border Patrol? 🤔
 
omg what's going on in minneapolis rn these protests are getting more intense by the day 🤯 and it's like super unfair to federal agents they're just trying to do their job but protesters are getting so aggressive 😒 and now a woman died last week that's just not cool at all 🚨 I don't think we should be using tear gas or pepper spray in these situations, can't we just find a way to de-escalate the situation peacefully? 🤝
 
Umm... so these federal agents just show up and start throwing tear gas at people who are protesting about immigration policies? I mean, I get it, they gotta do their job, but can't they just try to de-escalate the situation first? Like, what's the protocol here? Did they not receive any training on crowd control?

And another thing, where was the woman who got shot by the agent last week? Wasn't she already a victim of an immigration policy gone wrong? Now we're hearing about more agents being aggressive and it just feels like they're trying to make things worse. 🤔

I'm also wondering, why no video footage of that Portland incident? That's some pretty serious allegations and you'd think there would be some evidence to back it up. FBI saying "no video evidence" is not reassuring at all...
 
THE SITUATION IN MINNEAPOLIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND!!! THESE PROTESTERS ARE CALLED "COWARDS" BY FEDERAL AGENTS? THAT'S NOT HOW YOU HANDLE A SITUATION LIKE THIS, MAN! TEAR GAS AND PEPPER SPRAY JUST ADDS TO THE CHAOS. I FEEL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE CATCH IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL, TRYING TO ESCAPE WITHOUT GETTING HURT.

IT'S NO WONDER THERE ARE WIDESPREAD CONDEMNATIONS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S IMMIGRATION POLICIES. WE NEED TO HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE KINDS OF SITUATIONS IN A CALM AND RESPECTFUL WAY. CHARGING SOMEONE FOR USING THEIR VEHICLE IN A CAR CRASH? THAT SEEMS LIKE A PRECISE EXAMPLE OF PROSECUTORIAL OVERREACH.

AND NOW THIS OTHER GUY GETTING SHOT BY THE FEDS IN PORTLAND? IT'S LIKE WE'RE LIVING IN A REAL-LIFE ACTION MOVIE, BUT INSTEAD OF HEROES AND VILLAINS, WE'VE GOT FEDERAL AGENTS AND PROTESTERS. IT'S TIME FOR SOME COMMON SENSE TO TAKE OVER.
 
Ugh 🤦‍♂️, another day, another example of how out of touch the feds are! Can't they just have a calm conversation without resorting to tear gas and pepper spray? It's like they're trying to create more drama than necessary. And what's up with these protests and vigils? They're just bringing more people to the scene, which only escalates the situation. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for standing up against injustice, but can't we find a better way to do it? 🤷‍♂️

And another thing, where's the accountability? The fact that there's no video evidence of the Portland incident is just red flag. You'd think with all the surveillance and social media footage out there, someone would have caught it on camera. Come on, folks! Let's get to the bottom of this! 💥
 
🤕 I'm really concerned about the situation in Minneapolis, you know? These protests are just getting out of hand and people are getting hurt 🚑💔. It's sad to see a woman die like that, Renee Good was her name, and it's not fair that we still can't talk about this without the authorities cracking down 💪.

I don't get why they're using tear gas in the first place, isn't there another way to handle these situations? 😩 And now I'm reading about this other incident where a guy from Venezuela got shot by Border Patrol 🌴... it's just too much. We need some common sense and respect for human life 🙏.

I'm all for protesting and speaking out, but let's do it peacefully 💖. We can't have people getting hurt on both sides of the issue 😭. It's time for us to come together and find a better way to handle these problems 💬.
 
I'm getting so frustrated with how these protests are being handled by law enforcement 🤯. I mean, using tear gas on civilians is just not right – it's like they're trying to disperse the crowd instead of de-escalating the situation. And the fact that protesters were doused in water after being sprayed with pepper spray? That's just cruel 😕.

And can we talk about how these incidents are all connected to immigration policies? It feels like the US government is just piling on, making things worse and worse 🤔. I'm all for reforming those policies, but do they have to be so harsh? 🙄

I'm also not buying that there's no video evidence of the Portland incident... come on, people, we live in the 21st century now! There should be some way to record and share this stuff 📹.

It's times like these that I wish I was more into activism... just organizing protests with clear, simple signage would really help me feel better about it 😊.
 
😬 "The world is a dangerous place to live; no one can deny that." But sometimes it feels like we're just trying to survive in a crazy world 🤯. I'm all for standing up for what's right, but when things get out of hand, it's hard not to feel scared or overwhelmed 😨. It's heartbreaking to think about Renee Good and her family 💔. We need more love and understanding than anger and fear ❤️.
 
Ugh, this is getting outta hand 🤯! I feel so bad for those protesters in Minneapolis, they were just trying to express themselves and be heard 👊. And can you believe the cops deployed tear gas on a crowd of people? It's like, what are they even thinking?! 😱 The scene sounds super chaotic, poor witnesses must have been terrified 🤕. We need to keep pushing for justice and equality in this country, especially when it comes to immigration policies 💪. These incidents remind us that there's still so much work to be done to address systemic issues 🌎. And on a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen the new Marvel show? I'm totally obsessed with It's the Man! 😆
 
🤔 This is so concerning - I mean, we've seen a lot of protests and demonstrations in recent times, but this one in Minneapolis was just crazy! The fact that federal agents would use tear gas on protesters is already pretty alarming, but to see people getting doused with water after being sprayed with pepper spray? That's just ridiculous 🤦‍♀️. I'm all for standing up against injustice and protesting, but there has to be a better way to resolve these situations.

I do think it's good that Governor Tim Walz is calling for an investigation into Renee Good's death - it's about time we get some answers on how this happened 🤷‍♀️. And with the fact that federal authorities are filing charges against someone who allegedly used their truck to attack a US Border Patrol agent, it just goes to show that these situations can escalate quickly.

We need to find a way to address our immigration issues without resorting to violence or aggressive tactics 💔. It's time for us to come together as a society and find a more constructive way to deal with these complex issues 🤝.
 
I'm calling BS on these federal agents and their tear gas tactics 🤣. Like what's next? A riot squad in your grandma's neighborhood? Newsflash: you can't just deploy pepper spray and expect everyone to drop it like it's hot 🔥. Minneapolis is already dealing with all sorts of issues, the last thing they need is some rogue agents trying to silence people. And don't even get me started on the whole immigration policy thing... it's a mess 🤪. We need more transparency and accountability, not a bunch of heavy-handed bureaucrats trying to cover their tracks 💔.
 
🚨 This whole thing is like, super politicized already! I mean, you've got people protesting against immigration policies and now federal agents are getting heat for using tear gas to disperse a crowd? It's like, can't we just have a calm conversation about how to handle these situations? 🤔 The fact that there's no video evidence of the Portland incident is pretty suspicious though - it smells like another case of police brutality trying to cover their tracks. And what's with Governor Walz calling for an investigation into Renee Good's death? Is he trying to score some brownie points with the progressive crowd or what? 🤷‍♂️
 
Ugh man I'm so worried about these protests and the way they're being handled 🤯. Tear gas is never a good idea, it's like they're trying to recreate some crazy movie scene 😬. And can we talk about how traumatic this is for witnesses? People got doused in water and pepper spray just 'cause they were trying to watch what was going down... it's wild. I feel bad for Renee Good too, her family deserves so much justice 💔. We gotta keep pushing for accountability and change.
 
"Actions speak louder than words" 💔🚨 - You can't just sit back and expect people to be silent when they're being mistreated or pushed around. The government needs to take responsibility for their actions and listen to the voices of the people who are suffering the most. It's time for them to "put the past behind us" 🕊️ and work towards creating a more just and equal society for all.

The fact that Renee Good's death is sparking widespread condemnation across the US shows that people won't be ignored or silenced. They will keep speaking out until their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed. As the saying goes, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" 🔄 - it's time for those in power to listen to the ones who need help the most.

It's also disturbing to see the lack of transparency surrounding the FBI investigation into the Portland incident. When is there going to be some accountability? The people deserve answers!
 
just watched that crazy protest in Minneapolis and I'm still shook 🤯... can't believe they had to use tear gas on a crowd like that, it's just so unnecessary 😒. what's next, rubber bullets? federal agents need to rethink their strategy or start showing some empathy towards the people they're supposed to be helping 🙄. and another thing, how do we even know there was no video evidence of the guy getting shot in Portland? seems like a whole lot of fishy business 🐟...
 
😡 I'm so done with these fed agents, they're like, totally out of control! 😤 I mean what's up with deploying tear gas on innocent people? 🚫 That's just cruel and it's gonna make things worse. I know some ppl are protesting against those immigration policies but that doesn't give the agents the right to treat protesters like animals. 🐺 They need to find better ways to handle these situations, maybe de-escalation techniques or something. And what about the charges on that guy in Portland? 🤔 Did he really just try to run over a Border Patrol agent? 😱 I'm not saying he's innocent but we don't know all the facts and no video evidence? 📹 That's just suspicious. Anyway, can't these agents just get along with ppl who are peacefully protesting? 😠
 
😒 I don't know if this is the right way for federal agents to handle protests. I get where they're coming from, but using tear gas and pepper spray on civilians? It's like they're saying we can't have a peaceful conversation about these issues anymore 🤷‍♂️. Renee Good's death was a huge wake-up call, and this incident just feels like more of the same 🚫. I'm all for condemning bad actions by immigration agents, but we need to find better ways to address our problems than resorting to violence and intimidation 💔. And what's with all these cases where there's no video evidence? How are we supposed to trust that justice is being served in those situations? 🤔
 
🤕😩 just watched a vid of those protesters in Minneapolis and I'm shook 🤯 tear gas is so unnecessary 😷 can't believe ppl r treatin federal agents like this 👮‍♂️💪 but at the same time, who gets shot by immigration agent? 💔 37 years old woman Renee Good... RIP 💀 her death matters & needs to be investigated 📝 we need better policies, not more violence 💥🚫
 
OMG, this is so not good... can't believe it's getting worse by the day 😩 The protesters in Minneapolis are totally right to be upset - using tear gas on a crowd of people is just crazy! 🤯 I mean, what's next? Pepper spray and water dousings at protests everywhere? It feels like they're trying to silence people who are speaking out against those immigration policies... sad to see it coming to this. And another shooting, in Oregon, no less! 🤕 How many more lives do we have to lose before someone does something about these policies?! The lack of video evidence is just a red flag, you know? What's being covered up here?
