Bloomberg Discovers Tensions Rise When ICE Kills a Driver
Mainstream media frames school cancellations in Minneapolis as a result of unruly 'anti-ICE protests' following the fatal shooting of a driver by an ICE agent on January 7th. Conveniently omitted is the historical pattern: an armed government agency kills a civilian, and public outrage—not 'tensions'—erupts. This isn't a spontaneous inconvenience; it's a predictable reaction to unchecked power and
a lethal use of force. One might wonder what Bloomberg intended to accomplish by implying protesters—not the fatal shooting—are the problem. Perhaps they’re attempting to redirect blame for societal disruption from the agents of the state to the citizens demanding accountability. It’s a classic move: label dissent as the chaos, not the injustice that provoked it. (Source: Bloomberg Politics)
