Minnesota Assasin was a Trump supporter https://youtu.be/gaiQipc64_M?si=oxrIVAcqEx0jClwF #uspol #minnesota #minnesotaassassinations
This #VanceBoelter asshole looks just like every other good ole boy wannabe Boss Hogg with a penchant for military cosplay. I hope they find him quick, but ....I won't be surprised if he skates through the cracks just because of his generic look.
#MinnesotaAssassinations
It seems like journalistic malpractice that so many press outlets immediately reached for “impersonating a police officer” instead of “dressed like a police officer”.
have you fuckin met US police?

His name is #VanceLutherBoelter
@heretical_i @DifferentDrummer
More on the #MinnesotaShootings and WHY some #NoKingsProtests in #Minnesota were cancelled by authorities. The shooter left cards about the #NoKingsRallies and police were concerned he might target protestors.
The details of the interaction are not made clear... but at some point, police were face-to-face with him, and his cosplay was believable enough to fool even them.
EDIT: Police found a "manifesto" in his car, naming multiple Democratic politicians, as well as #Abortion providers and pro-choice #AbortionRights activists. The shootings were done in the middle of the night, when darkness made it hard to identify if he was a real police officer or not.

@heretical_i @DifferentDrummer
The shooter has been identified.
He is 57-year-old #VanceLutherBoelter who worked on Gov. Tim Walz' non-partisan "Workforce Development Board" in 2019. His term expired in 2023, and his last known job was as "Director of Security Patrols" for an armed security company he owns, called "Praetorian Guard Services."
>>According to the company’s website, it offers armed security for residential patrols and “we drive the same make and model of vehicles that many police departments use in the U.S. Currently, we drive Ford Explorer Utility Vehicles.” A police-style SUV was recovered from the scene.<<
Police saw him up close, and were fooled by his appearance. Some reports claim he left a company ID badge at the scene. His company claims international security experience in many countries.
He is still on the loose.

“Suspect exploited the trust of our uniforms, what our uniforms are meant to represent. That betrayal is deeply disturbing to those of us who wear the badge with honor and responsibility,” he said.
Yes, NOW the Police look bad, NOW they do...../s

In #Chicago today, a #MAGA was arrested at the #NoKingsProtests while cosplaying as police, carrying multiple fake badges and a loaded gun.
He and the #MinnesotaAssassin undoubtedly PLANNED their actions for today specifically. One of their goals would obviously be to take the air out of the dialogue around our #NoKingsDay .
As usual, the right plays the media like a violin, to keep the left from being heard. Instead of countless videos of huge crowds marching through cities and towns, the media will focus on the #MinnesotaAssassinations .
And make no mistake... The video of #SenAlexPadilla being thrown to the ground was seen as a permission slip by #MAGAts . That video has been part of the right-wing brainwashing to justify violence against the left.
KEEP THE DIALOGUE ON OUR #PROTESTS , while keeping those #NonViolent . Find and share drone videos of huge peaceful crowds marching through the streets. Wave American flags. Avoid being near agitators.
In usa public history this reads pretty crazy*.

The suspect is still at large.
Thanks @JustPolitics80 for the original sharing.

MAGA domestic terrorists posing as cops and killing lawmakers,
but immigrants are supposed to comply with a mouth breather in
jeans and a mask who claims he's ICE and tries to abduct them
off the streets. Fuck that.
