”You’re Under Arrest” by #MilesDavis

Actually pretty enjoyable and fun record. Sure very 80’s sounding but not that bad at all. Lots of wild stuff going on with the synths, #Scofield and #McLaughlin on guitars and Sting as a french policeman!

A torrent of untruths, half-truths, smears, and innuendo has been unleashed by the White House,
and amplified by its social media and cable television acolytes,
in an attempt to douse the flames over the killing of #reneenicolegood

Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic House minority leader, called homeland security secretary
#Kristi #Noem a “stone cold liar”
on Thursday for her efforts to falsely portray the victim Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three and award-winning poet, as a “domestic terrorist”.

Jacob Frey, the Democratic mayor of Minneapolis, condemned as “#bullshit” a concerted push by homeland security officials and others to immediately paint the officer’s action as self-defense
-- when video of the incident is unclear at best, and an investigation had yet to begin.

“People in positions of power have already passed judgment,
from the president to the vice-president, to Kristi Noem …
[they] have stood and told you things that are verifiably false,
verifiably inaccurate,”
Tim Walz, Minnesota’s Democratic governor, told a press conference on Thursday.

The #victim-#blaming began almost immediately that news broke of Good’s killing on Wednesday.

#Tricia #McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the homeland security department, a regular administration spokesperson for ICE, declared in a post on X that “one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them
– an act of domestic terrorism”.
Multiple ICE officers were hurt, she insisted, 🔥when videos of the shooting showed no such thing.

Homeland Security Secretary
#Kristi #Noem had a baffling excuse Wednesday for a
⚠️federal agent shooting a U.S. citizen ⚠️
protesting an ICE operation in #Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Speaking from Brownsville, Texas, #Noem claimed that the officer had been responding to “an act of domestic terrorism.”
The secretary claimed that the victim had “attacked” a group of federal officers whose vehicle was stuck in the snow, attempting to “run them over and ram them with her vehicle.” An officer had “defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him” and killed the woman, Noem said.

⭐️Witnesses reported seeing something entirely different.

Emily Heller, a Minneapolis resident, claimed that the woman had been blocking traffic with her car as part of the protest earlier Wednesday.
When the woman tried to turn her car around, an ICE agent standing in front of her car leaned over the hood and 🆘 shot her in the face at least three times.

Another resident, Aidan Perzana, told Fox9 that he’d seen three ICE agents attempt to detain the driver.
When the vehicle suddenly reversed and then pulled away from the officers,
one of the agents shot through the driver’s side window three times.

Minnesota Representative #Ilhan #Omar indicated that the deceased victim was not only a U.S. citizen,
but a legal observer.

A video of the incident appeared to show that the woman’s car did not move toward the ICE officers,
but away from them.

❌Despite these stories, it seems that the Trump administration intends to run with its claim that the victim was a so-called “domestic terrorist.”

White House deputy Chief of Staff #Stephen #Miller also claimed that the victim had committed a federal crime. “Democrats continue to lend aid and comfort to domestic terrorism,” Miller wrote on X, responding to Minnesota Senator #Tina #Smith’s plea for ICE to leave Minneapolis following the incident.

Assistant DHS Secretary #Tricia #McLaughlin, who has spent the last several months spinning blatant #lies about immigration officers’ violent interactions with civilians, described the victim as a “violent rioter” who was attempting to kill the federal agents.

“This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement,” McLaughlin wrote on X.
