MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said Wednesday that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed a motorist acted recklessly and rejected federal officials claims that the officer had acted in self-defense.

During a news conference hours after the ICE officer shot the woman, whose name hasn’t been released, an angry Frey blasted the federal immigration crackdown on the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

“They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust,” Frey said. “They’re ripping families apart. They’re sowing chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people.”

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bullshit,” the mayor said.

This is to be expected when you elect a president who deploys roving death squads. Your country has now achieved Banana Republic status.

Congratulations…?

As protests against Iran’s government swelled significantly in size on Thursday night, the regime responded in many places by opening fire. A Tehran doctor told TIME on condition of anonymity that just six hospitals in the capital had recorded at least 217 protester deaths, “most by live ammunition.”

The death count, if confirmed, would signal a feared crackdown presaged by the regime’s near-total shutdown of the nation’s Internet and phone connections since Thursday night. It would also constitute a direct challenge to U.S. President Donald Trump, who earlier in the day warned that the regime would “pay hell” if it killed protesters who have taken to the streets in growing numbers since Dec. 28.

The demonstrations, which now span all 31 provinces, began as a protest against an economy in freefall. But they soon broadened to demand the overthrow of the authoritarian Islamic regime that has ruled the nation of around 92 million since 1979. Though the rallies have been largely peaceful, with chants of “Freedom” and “Death to the Dictator,” some government buildings have been vandalized.

The doctor said authorities removed corpses from the hospital on Friday. Most of the dead were young people, he said, including several killed outside a northern Tehran police station when security forces sprayed machine gun fire at protesters, who died “on the spot.” Activists reported at least 30 people were shot in the incident.

It was only a matter of time.

I'm surprised Israel isn't launching some air attacks against government forces. They have a very strong interest in the fall of the ayatoilets.

Iranians are burning down mosques.

The only reason Iranians are among the most Islamophobic people is that they have seen first-hand how pathetic this ideology is.

Not the Saudis though. They are saturated with Islam. Of course unlike the Iranians, they are wealthy and can travel to places like Bahrain where Allah seems to turn a blind eye. I think the biggest factor is that the Iranians equate Islam with government and for as long as most of them can remember, government has done nothing but fuck them over.
