The US Second Amendment and Protesting

If this stuff continues and even gets worse then maybe something really big will happen ?

It may not have to go much further for something really big to happen. I think that, in this case, the ICE agents may have given the insurgents the very martyr they were craving. That's actually a part of Marxist insurgency and destabilization doctrine - push until someone does something stupid, get a martyr, and use that martyr as a rally point to destabilize. These ICE officers may have given the insurgents the very martyr they've been trying to generate, on a silver platter.

I think it's past due time for Trump to invoke the Insurgency Act and get some troops in there to take the load off of ICE. ICE is trained in fugitive apprehension, not crowd control... and, in my opinion, they are making a mess of their crowd control efforts. I give 'em a star for the attempt, but lower marks for the execution of it. But, it's not really their fault, as they are not trained for it. The government needs to get some troops in there that ARE trained for it, and they need to get them there last week. That would free the ICE agents up to do what they were hired to do instead of babysitting insurgents.

They wouldn't really need all that many troops. ICE raids are generally point raids on specific locations. All they need is enough troops to cordon off a block or so in each direction from the raid point, and let NO ONE in or out until the raid is over. So, usually about 9 square blocks, 3 on a side. In addition, they would need a roving contingent to deal with any eruptions within the cordoned area, to avoid weakening the cordon by being forced to pull personnel from it and possibly suffering a breakthrough at a point thus weakened. MP's and some other units are trained in crowd control / riot control, so that would be the obvious direction to take.

Just shuffling in more and more ICE agents isn't going to cut it, unless and until they are trained for crowd control and dedicated to ONLY crowd control.

But now, with the martyr the insurgents have been praying for, it's going to get a lot tougher, since the purpose of creating martyrs is to sway public opinion against the government. In the next few days, we'll probably see just how well that has worked for the insurgents. If they decide to bring in crowd control / riot control troops to protect ICE, then they should, at the same time, make it clear and loud that the troops are there to prevent any such repetitions, and that they are there to safeguard the insurgents from ICE as much as they are there to safeguard ICE from the insurgents. It's often all in the messaging.

And they have to be very, VERY firm in not allowing anyone in or out of the cordon until the operation is finished. I mean that people have to do jail time, and the hardest jail; time the government can muster, for people breaching or attempting to breach the cordon. Don't house them in local jails who are just going to cut them loose... instead, ship them out of area to Federal facilities where they will get the time they deserve.

The catch is, the Federal government doesn't really have much in the way of jail facilities, only prisons. I know from my work with the US Marshal's Service that most Federal inmates are usually housed temporarily in local jails. So they may have to build a few Federal detention centers that are not prisons, just detention centers to house the insurgents until trial and then ship them off to Federal prisons if they are found guilty in Federal courts. Ideally, they could use already existent, but now emptied, illegal alien detention centers. That would be a kind of poetic justice, I think.

==========================================================

Here's another angle and non-law enforcement analysis of the important points of the shooting:



From that angle, it's not looking pretty for the shooter. He should have been able to see the subject being disarmed, and should have known the threat was over, and that he was shooting an unarmed man in the back. However, I'm not qualified to comment on the emotional state of his mind at that point, which of course would factor in to the shooting.
In conditions like that, every man is going to psychologically react somewhat differently, and if he was in a panic state, or a rage state, that would factor in to his next actions as to whether he was in subjective "fear for his life" from panic or perhaps in "retribution mode" from rage. Either way, that may not be the right job for him..

And, in either of those cases, it cost a man his life, and handed a "Martyr for the Cause" to the insurgents on a silver platter.

He should NOT be back on the job right now, neither in Minneapolis or anywhere else, until a through investigation has concluded. Not only is his culpability not determined, but he's probably in a mental state right now, so soon after the action, and most likely unable to act effectively in an ICE capacity until he has had time to decompress and process the events. Judging from his actions/reactions, I would guess he's not a combat veteran, ad so this was probably his first kill, and he likely has not fully processed the implications yet. That shit can come back on you at the damndest times, and render you inop if you've not processed it fully.
