the slain lawmaker as State Rep. Melissa Hortman of Brooklyn Park and her husband, Mark, while state Sen. John Hoffman of Champlin and his wife, Yvette, were injured. Both lawmakers were members of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party. [...] The assailant, who is still at large, allegedly impersonated a police officer.

My support and sympathy to the families. Absolutely no surprise at any of that news.

"impersonating" a police officer. Yup, on the largest protest day ever. No need to think more about it. Surely it wouldn't be an actual cop using a scapegoat, nope .

If we don't know who did it, how do we know it was impersonation??

Well they found the vehicle and it was a non-police vehicle disguised as police. So while this doesn’t 100% rule out it being police, it seems a reasonable inference.

And it starts...

Who got killed? Are they behind any legislation one way or the other that would make them targets?

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Impersonating a police officer or a disgruntled police officer. Irregardless, the uniform alone will get one close to the target. The USA is a sick country and the fucks in MAGA will make it worse.

Also, since the article doesn't mention it, deliberately of course, they were both Democrats. One was the speaker of the house.
