It took the killing of a white woman in South Minneapolis to recognize police brutality as an issue. The speaker believes police are being militarized, making people unsafe. Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman has never charged an officer in a citizen shooting. The speaker claims the United States does not address police brutality because historically, it has impacted people of African descent. Justine Daman and Ja'Marr Clark should still be alive. The speaker hopes it doesn't take another white woman being killed for people to recognize this issue.

Governor Tim Walsh of Minnesota allowed cities to burn during George Floyd protests. Black Lives Matter and Antifa were involved. Police were told to stand down. Residents had to protect themselves. Kamala Harris supported bail funds for protesters. They are working together to destroy America.

Speaker 1, who identifies as Russia, says: We did not break in. We did not broke shit. They were Antifa. We told the DC police, there's Antifa. Go get them. They did not move. They use on a pepper spray, mace, rubber palette. They treat us like we're animals. From beginning, when we start going down the steps up way before we enter the shit building. And then they start with the pack. They hit two woman in the head. There's three kids, probably 17, 18. They were bleeding in the head. There's two elderly people. One of them in a cave, got maced. So we did not break shit. The woman the police shot her, and then they throw her by the stairs. We did not break shit. We told DC police, those are Antifa. Go get them. We wear mega hat. We don't have much shoes. We don't look like we're in a crack. Those antifa, you tell them, they're in a fucking crack. Filthy disgusting. DC did not do nothing. They just stand up. They just stand up. Speaker 0 asks: So it wasn't it wasn't the MAGA people that that get that... Speaker 1, Russia, responds: It wasn't MAGA inside the city, whatever my brain froze. Capitol all day. The doors are open. There's Antifa has a black chair, folding chair. The cops seen him. Whether it's us or Antifa, you see somebody with a metal chair fold it. That means it's a fucking weapon. You will stop him. We go and tell them. There's probably people were taking video of me telling the police. Go get Antifa. We catch two. And the woman that there was a woman talking to them, and I told her, don't bother the police. Leave the police alone. They need to choose a side. If they lost us, they have no support. And then they start with pushing back back and hitting people. So it's not us. It's not us. Speaker 0 clarifies: Antifa It was... Speaker 1: The DC police saw them with a fucking black metal folding chair. They saw them. We pointed at them. They saw the brat boy following Antifa guy, and they did not do shit. One of Antifa could have a fucking knife to get one of us inside. No one did shit. Don't tell us we broke in. We did not break a glass. So you got in, but it wasn't you guys. The doors are open. The door. And guess what? It's a federal building. The police has no power on us. It's a federal building. It's our building. Speaker 0: Right. Okay. So it wasn't it wasn't the MAGA people that broke in. Speaker 1: Nope. We told DC police, those fucking antifa go get them. Okay. Speaker 0 asks: What's your name? Speaker 1: Russia. Speaker 0: Russia? Where are you from? Speaker 1 explains: I can't. It's a I'm under the state No. No. No. I came from Lebanon. I run from Lebanon because of this shit. And I'm not gonna raise my kids in that shit. Speaker 0 thanks Asha and says: Thank you. You need to do a testimonial of what happened. Put it on Twitter. Put it on every news channel because What? Speaker 1 completes: Fist this off. Black Lives Matter burned the country. Burned the city. They were ordered the police to back back, standby. They were not allowed to use tear gas. They were not allowed to use maze. They were not allowed to use rubber bullets. On us, they're. When they went in the White House and burned the church, all the fucking congress went and told Trump, you let your people pepper spray them. Meanwhile, BLM came there with a fucking weapons. Screw the police. They lost our support. Yes. Amen. They begin they're all gonna follow order. When we stand up in the front of Black Lives Matter to protect a cop I'm a woman and I did it numerous time in New Jersey. I didn't ever say we go in a rally and sadness know. But now, if I see a cop get shot, I would kill myself before I save him and mark my words on it. Speaker 0 closes: Thank you, Asha. Good to see you.

Buildings were burned to the ground. Dozens of people died. There was upwards of $2,000,000,000 in damage. In DC, protesters centered in the areas surrounding the White House; they scaled surrounding buildings to spray paint graffiti, they bashed in windows, they fought with police, they pulled down police barricades. They lit fires in the streets; they attempted to burn down Saint John's Church; they lit buildings on fire in Lafayette Park; they attempted to jump fences surrounding the White House. What we're not seeing at this moment, at least, is any real significant effort by MPD to get control of this situation right now. At one point, the violence was so intense that the Secret Service moved president Trump to the White House bunker. He tried to proclaim himself to be tough guy, ran down into a bunker while protests were raging outside. There were hearings about crowd control tactics used by police. Ultimately, an inspector general's report debunked the media's anti Trump narrative. We did not find evidence that a potential presidential visit to the park or the Saint John's Church influenced the park police's decision making or their deployment.

They were unsure about containing the fire, so I suggested pulling the building to prevent further loss of life. They made the decision to pull it, and we saw the building collapse.

The transcript follows James O’Keefe’s Okefe Media team in downtown Minneapolis as they document protests, counter-mobilization, and personal risk around a period of political tension. The team’s undercover reporters describe being inside a mob that shouts, curses, and attempts to block or attack vehicles. They recount that “they threw something at me, which hit the back of my bulletproof vest,” and a frozen ice brick was hurled at the SUV. They note the mob’s perception of vehicles like SUVs as “feds,” and emphasize the danger of driving through protests, holding up windows, and the need to roll up windows to avoid escalation. An independent journalist, Cam Higbee, is cited as reporting that trucks and SUVs are “an absolute no go” and that license plates can be tracked. As the day proceeds, the undercover reporters observe and film chants such as “ice out” and “fuck ICE,” with some participants identified as teachers, nurses, and union organizers who express appreciation for the reporters’ presence. The team mentions Peggy Wang, based in Boston and active in the Massachusetts Teachers Association, who works at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and participates in pro-Palestinian protests; her job is reportedly threatened for engaging in these activities. Peggy Wang’s list of issues includes immigration rights, abolishing ICE, stopping raids and deportations, justice for victims, and getting ICE out of cities like Minneapolis. The footage also references Make the Road New York, described by a protester as an organization with a $30,000,000 budget, connected to an April Veretti, president of the SEIU (Service Employees International Union). The team’s analysis of funding shows Make the Road New York as a registered 501(c)(3) with Form 990s and substantial grant income, including “they received $16,000,000 in grants.” Agitators and protesters are shown on top of cars, breaking parts of vehicles, and a tense dynamic emerges with claims that there are no “blood” or “MAGA” people present. The cold weather hampers equipment, with cameras freezing and water turning into a weapon within seconds, and tear gas affecting the undercover reporters when they approach a nearby apartment complex lobby where agitators are wiping tear gas from their faces. A key moment comes on January 24, when a shooting occurs a few miles away, and the mayor’s demand to choose sides intensifies tensions: “Our streets. Our streets. No justice. No peace.” The reporters describe mob behavior that seems to outpace law enforcement, noting that Minneapolis police stood down and implying that accountability is lacking in the absence of constant oversight. They document being followed and harassed, with the agitators showing disdain for press that is not aligned with their beliefs, and the discovery that identifying as press can lead to hostility or threats. In a post-event segment, the team travels to another hotel to avoid spotters, reports of being tailed persist, and a burner-number threat claims: “you have one hour to leave or you’re dead.” The closing reflections address broader themes: self-preservation versus accountability, the need for consequences to ensure justice, and the claim that “justice only happens when they are being watched.” The piece ends with James O’Keefe pivoting to a promotional segment for gold investment, touting rising gold and silver prices and offering a free gold bar with purchases, branding it as a call to protect freedom and retirement, ending with financial advisory caution. Key individuals mentioned by name: Peggy Wang; April Veretti; Make the Road New York; SEIU; Cam Higbee (indirectly cited as corroborating signal chats).

Speaker 0: When I was actually walking out here, somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis. And this is the headline. I'm just gonna read it. Outrage after ICE officer kills US citizen in Minneapolis. Well, that's one way to put it, and that is the way that many people in the corporate media have put this attack over the last twenty four hours. And I say attack very, very intentionally because this was an attack on federal law enforcement. This was an attack on law and order. This was an attack on the American people. The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very off ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, thirty three stitches in his legs. So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile? What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in The United States Of America. What that headline leaves out is that that woman has is part of a broader left wing network to attack, to docks, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job. If the media wants to tell the truth, they ought to tell the truth that a group of left wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it impossible for the president of The United States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws. The president stands with ICE. I stand with ICE. We stand with all of our law enforcement officers. And part of that is recognizing that you people in the media, not everybody in this room, but many people in this room have been lying about this attack. She was trying to ram this guy with his with her car. He shot back. He defended himself. He's already been seriously wounded in law enforcement operations before, and everybody who's been repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Every single one of you. Questions? Thank you, mister Vice

A tense street confrontation unfolds with loud exchanges, accusations, and threats centered on an alleged Nazi presence and a planned conversation that escalates into threats and harassment. The participants describe a scene where neighbors are distressed and some individuals demand to know who is filming and where their car is, while others respond with hostility and accusations of Nazism. Key points: - A group argues that someone is blocking an ice vehicle and demands to see a car and its plate, calling the driver a coward. The demand to identify car owners and vehicles recurs, along with insults and aggressive language. - The group states they came out for a discussion and security, not for a fight, while others label their presence as Nazi or agitator activity. One person says, “We’re Nazis for… walking down the road,” and others insist they are there to talk, not to provoke a confrontation. - There is immediate hostility: objects are thrown, including ice blocks, and there is intermittent back-and-forth about whether the group is there for a fight or a conversation. The phrase “You’re a fucking coward” and “Get the fuck out” surfaces repeatedly. - A livestream is mentioned, with one participant asking another to be honest and accusing the other side of fascist behavior. The accused are called “Nazis” multiple times, and the livestream is referenced as part of the confrontation. - The participants claim they have been there only minutes, with remarks like “I’ve been here for maybe three minutes at the most,” and another asserts they are walking the block without saying much. - The group attempts to de-escalate by calling for police help, asking for a 911 address, and reporting that the group is being followed and that rocks or ice blocks are being thrown. They specify the location as Park Avenue and 33rd Street (moving toward 34th and Portland at times), Minneapolis. - They describe the police response as insufficient or unavailable: a dispatcher explains that officers are not able to reach the location, suggesting the group move to a different location where police can access them. There is frustration at the lack of immediate police support. - The participants report being chased, a vehicle turning onto a one-way street, and the sense of danger increases as they try to remain safe while continuing to seek police assistance. - Throughout, the speakers alternate between insisting they want a conversation and berating the other side, with repeated demands that the other group “get the fuck out.” The dialogue includes interruptions, taunts, and interruptions about who started the confrontation. - Towards the end, the participants confirm the location as 33rd Street near Park Avenue and Portland, note that police can’t reach that location, and mention a white Toyota Corolla following them. They consider moving to a different location to facilitate police assistance, and the traffic dynamics continue as they attempt to navigate the area on foot while seeking protection. In sum, the transcript details a heated, harassment-laden encounter marked by accusations of Nazism, a contested intention of dialogue versus confrontation, objects thrown, a livestream presence, and a troubling lack of timely police intervention, with the scene centered around Park Avenue and 33rd/34th Streets in Minneapolis.

A speaker describes a situation in which police officers were hiding behind a car. The speaker says, “I tried to grab one of their guns. They grabbed me and says, no. I'm trying to grab for his gun.” The speaker asserts that these police officers know who he is and expresses a wish that they are hearing this. He accuses the officers by saying, “You are weak. You could have saved so many more people's lives.” He claims the officers were simply standing there, listening and watching the events unfold, and that they were holding him back. He questions where the other officers were, asking, “Not there. Nobody was there. Everyone, the public, helped. Nobody else.” The speaker recounts that his three-year-old child was saved by a pregnant woman who saw the child crying and screaming, “mommy, daddy.” He emphasizes that “We were there.” He questions the response time of the police, asking, “do you know how long did it take for police to come? How long did it take?” He describes the crowd’s reaction as “No. Everyone was too scared.” Across these statements, the speaker juxtaposes a perceived inaction by police with the immediate aid provided by bystanders, including a pregnant woman who intervened to protect the speaker’s child. The speaker emphasizes personal danger in attempting to disarm or confront the authorities and highlights a sense that authorities did not respond promptly or effectively, contrasting it with public intervention and rescue efforts.

Police officers on the west side were arguing near a fountain, with one officer admitting that they were hurting innocent people and making 10 others angry for every one they removed. This suggests that both the officers and the protesters were set up for failure. There is a video of officers saying they were set up, and they repeat this multiple times. The response from the authorities came two hours later.

The speaker, identified as Russia, recounts the events at the Capitol, insisting they did not break in: “We did not break in. We did not broke shit. They were Antifa.” He says they told the DC police, “there’s Antifa. Go get them,” but the police “did not move” and treated them “like we’re animals.” He describes the actions of the police as pepper spray, mace, and “rubber palette” used on people, including “two woman in the head,” “three kids, probably 17, 18” who were bleeding, and “two elderly people.” He claims a woman was shot and then thrown “by the stairs.” He repeats, “We did not break shit,” and asserts they identified Antifa to the police, saying, “Go get them.” Russia says it wasn’t MAGA people inside the building; he mentions doors were open and that Antifa had “a black chair, folding chair,” noting that if someone carries a folding chair, it’s a weapon. They say they pointed out Antifa to the cops, catching two people, and a woman talking to them told him not to bother the police and to “Leave the police alone.” He urges the police to choose a side, suggesting that without support they would be alone. He asserts: “The police saw them with a fucking black metal folding chair,” and adds that “They saw the brat boy following Antifa guy, and they did not do shit.” He states, “Don’t tell us we broke in. We did not break a glass.” He emphasizes that the doors were open and that it’s a federal building, implying “The police has no power on us. It’s a federal building. It’s our building.” Russia also reveals personal details: he came from Lebanon and fled because of the situation, intending not to raise his kids in that environment. He urges Asha to post a testimonial on Twitter and news channels. Asha interjects, claiming that “Black Lives Matter burned the country” and “burned the city,” while the police were ordered to back off and were not allowed to use tear gas, mace, or rubber bullets on them. They argue that in contrast, when the White House was entered and a church burned, Congress told Trump to let his people pepper spray them. The speakers express a sentiment of betrayal toward the police, stating, “Screw the police. They lost our support,” and claim that all will follow orders. They recount standing in front of Black Lives Matter to protect a cop, with a vow by Russia that if he sees a cop get shot, he would kill himself before saving him. The conversation ends with thanks to Asha and affirmation of her testimony.

Speaker 0 asks if you know who the last white girl to be unalive by law enforcement in Minneapolis was before Renee Goode. They claim you don’t know, and that the person who did it was the first Somali police officer in the United States, who were convicted of murder, a conviction later overturned by the Minnesota Supreme Court, and that they served only a couple years.

You don't want riots or violence, correct? As Dr. King said, riots are the voice of the unheard. If people are oppressed, they may lash out. But do you condemn violence? I believe in self-defense. If a police officer unjustifiably kills someone, I understand why people react. So you won't condemn riots or burning buildings after police incidents? I won't condone it, but I understand the reaction. When Osama bin Laden attacked, did you suggest a peaceful response? I answered your question. People are burning businesses in New York City, and you won't answer. I don't promote it, but I won't condemn it. That's cowardly. No, you're the coward. God bless you, I'm leaving. Yeah, you are.

Speaker 0: Original country. Speaker 1 (Asha): I came from Lebanon. I ran from Lebanon because of this shit. And I'm not gonna raise my kids in that shit. Speaker 0: Gotcha. Thank you, Asha. I really appreciate this. You need to do a, you know, a testimonial of what happened. And you need to put it on Twitter. You need to put it on every news channel because Speaker 1 (Asha): it's really off. Mhmm. Black Lives Matter burned the country. Yes. Burned the city. They were ordered the police to back back, standby. They were not allowed to use tear gas. They were not allowed to use mace. They were not allowed to use rubber bullets. Yeah. On us, they're allowed. Yep. That's true. When they went in the White House and burned the church, all the fucking congress went and told Trump, you let your people pepper spray them. Speaker 0: Yeah. Speaker 1 (Asha): Meanwhile, BLM came there with a fucking weapons. Speaker 0: Yep. That's true. Speaker 1 (Asha): You know what? Screw the police. They lost our support. Speaker 0: Yes. Amen. Yeah. At least DC. Speaker 1 (Asha): At least all of them begin they're all gonna follow order. Speaker 0: Yeah. Speaker 1 (Asha): All gonna follow orders. Yeah. Speaker 0: That's unfortunate.

I warned about chemical munitions. The left and lethal team should start deploying. We need more munitions. They're shooting at their own people. We represent Blue Lives Matter, but they're attacking us. There were acts of violence that day, even against police officers. They started firing at us without provocation. It was a peaceful protest, but they used concussion grenades and pepper spray. They tear-gassed us. I can't breathe.

Why wasn't there more security? There were about 30 guards outside, but it felt staged. The mayor seemed to have some influence, and there was a lot of chaos. They had a loudspeaker directing people, telling them where to reinforce. It felt like something illegal was happening. It was surreal being there. I didn't see anyone get arrested or any violence against officers, which was surprising. One person was breaking a window, but in other areas, when barriers were breached, guards just stepped aside. It was reckless to shoot in that situation, especially with so many people around.

The speaker is in Washington D.C. at Black Lives Matter Plaza, near the White House. The speaker says the plaza is being torn up, much like BLM allegedly ravaged, murdered, and torched the country. The speaker says the street used to be painted Black Lives Matter, but workers are replacing the yellow lettering with the original bricks. The speaker claims St. John's Episcopal Church was lit on fire by BLM, along with the White House, in an attempt to kill Donald Trump, who had to escape to a security bunker. The speaker says it is time to desecrate BLM's altars and show the country what actual healing looks like. The speaker believes there should never be another time when divisive, terroristic political movements take over the nation's capital and get painted on the streets. The speaker calls for a full investigation of the BLM organization, claiming it defrauded and spent hundreds of millions of dollars on lavish mansions for themselves and didn't help a single Black person.

People were accusing police officers, particularly black police officers, of being the KKK because they didn't want to be taken away. People were trying to get beyond the police tape.

Violence erupted in Minneapolis as protests over the death of George Floyd turned confrontational. Protesters set fire to a police station, causing officers to flee. Buildings and businesses were destroyed or set ablaze. Gunshots were heard, prompting paramedics to leave the scene. President Trump tweeted about the situation, criticizing the lack of leadership and threatening to send in the National Guard. Similar riots and shootings were reported in Kentucky and Phoenix. The chaos shows no signs of stopping.

A group is blocking the police from leaving and threw garbage. People are trying to create a line to stop ICE and FBI. They are fighting to get the police out of the town. People are upset because ICE came through and took immigrants out of the city. One man was thrown by the police and keeps going back at them after being pushed. The police threw him down, and he keeps going after them.

Minneapolis Police Federation board members testified at the Minnesota Senate, offering a critique of government and police leaders during the riots following George Floyd's death. Officers stated they were not allowed to respond as trained and were injured by bottles and cement. Sergeant Hedberg blames state, city, and department leaders for abandoning the Third Precinct. One officer heard the governor say to "give up the precinct," which he found demoralizing. The officers described a demoralized police force with dozens planning to retire or quit, and one officer stated he had "never been more publicly humiliated." They also described a city out of control and claimed crime is rampant in Minneapolis.

There was a lot of hate and it happened. We let it happen. The cops got involved and one of them stood on a guy. It was a chaotic situation.

I warned about chemical munitions and called for deployment. There's chaos as flashbangs are being used against us, and officers are shooting into their own crowd. We’re here to support Blue Lives Matter, but this is how we’re treated. A large crowd is approaching on High Street, and we need backup. There were violent acts that day, including brutal assaults on police officers. Our officers acted as necessary. However, if the police hadn’t used concussion grenades and pepper spray, the situation might have remained peaceful. We were standing close to them, and they initiated the violence without provocation. We’ve been tear-gassed.
