A person was shot to death by federal law enforcement officers on Saturday in Minneapolis for the second time in less than three weeks.

Saturday morning’s shooting comes after Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen.

At a news briefing, Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara said the person who was shot is believed to be a 37-year-old man who lived in Minneapolis and was an American citizen.

Freedom of speech in the former seems to be the first one that springs to mind. Which is not necessarily the same as freedom to drive one's large SUV at officials.

According to thisvsthat.io/iran-vs-usa:

Iran and the USA are two countries with many differences in terms of geography, population, government, economy, culture, education, and healthcare. While Iran has a rich cultural heritage and a focus on education, the USA is known for its diverse economy and top universities. Both countries have their own unique strengths and challenges, making them fascinating subjects for comparison.

All the video footage shows she was driving away from the ICE agent, not at him.

Politics and Religion….

NZ low level “national vs labour and everyone else”, haters and lovers is where we are at. If not careful then we will get extreme.

buggers my mind every time I see people in NZ from all walks of life (including the self proclaimed successful), just whinge and moan about others voting choices.

the latest killing does not involve any driving, it seems to be a freedom of speech/protest issue

First, @Batman, I've moved this thread because it's clearly Politics, so shouldn't ever been created in Off Topic. You know the rules.

@Basil, I think there's enough evidence by now that Renee Good did not drive the car into the "officer", but away from him.
