    As much as we all knew bad stuff was coming the ability to continually say things that clearly is false given the video evidence is just stunning. I really don’t get anyone buying this. I mean its practically impossible to not see the videos. It boggles my mind that somone could somehow only watch the edited versions and not even accidentally see some of the raw stuff.

    Defensively shooting a guy that is on the ground being held down by 4 other agents after you’ve peppersprayed and pistol whipped him multiple times is actually called murder. They did a murder, not a defence.

      And disarmed, before shooting him In the back 10 times. What brave warriors these ICE agents are, truly /s

        The ICE in the grey coat, yes. Then the other ICE shoots him.

        We are in the street execution phase of the MAGA regime.

          the MAGA regime

          The legitimate American government and I say it that way because pushing it as MAGA dilutes responsibility.

          The sooner that responsibility is owned, the sooner they’ll work together to have it removed.

            The executive branch appears to be MAGA. But you’re right. That doesn’t excuse the other two branches. Like those 7 dems that voted through ICE funding.

              Not all of them. Most Republicans are but there’s a few that aren’t.

              Either way the choices are limited.

      I’m going to argue against your warning. Yes, it’s awful. Yes, it’ll probably change you. However, that needs to happen. I say the same thing about people voting and war. They should watch the brutality of war and let that effect their voting. People need to witness horror so they can’t sit back in ignorance. You should be traumatized, because we’re going through trauma. You can’t just hide from it forever.

        It’s a fair argument but there is a large slide bar on resilience. Just like not everyone can be taught, not everyone can face that sort of thing and not turn into a mental puddle. That’s what our military is supposed to be for, to protect those people so they can do their part untouched by that crap. Just not in today’s America under the regime of chaos & brutality.

          no. those federal agents murdering people are our employees. we pay them, those that can handle violence and those that cant. everyone needs to own what people are doing IN THE NAME OF AMERICA, in our name, with our money, and with our blessing if we dont stop them, all of us

          watching people you employ kill someone makes you uncomfotable?

    Absolutely insane. Even if this was a police officer there would be an investigation that would last for days before coming to any sort of conclusion. This comes just hours after the incident, with NO EVICENDE to support her claims, quite the contrary! Even republicans have to be appalled by this. If this is not the tipping point then it’s absolutely game over for America. Your laws are not protecting you anymore!

    This administration has proven they are as comfortable with lying as they are breathing. So many obvious and provably false things on a daily basis. Often times they even laugh about it like the doctored AI image the White House tweeted yesterday.

    Watch the video starting with “AA672…” in this proton drive folder

    You can clearly see that one of the thugs disarmed the victim and fired a shot into the pavement as he was leaving, and a second later the victim was brutally shot to kill by the other thugs.

    I bet this was all on purpose - the shot to the pavement from the victim’s gun was so they could claim the victim fired the first shot and killing him was in self defense.

    Fucking atrocious murderers.

      All else aside, the guy leaving with the gun didn’t fire it. There was no recoil, no action cycling or shell ejection ,no vapor, and someone would have probably been hit from ricochet and fragments. A 9mm still makes a decent recoil and some vapor.

      This just makes it worse as it means the first shot heard is from the other agent’s gun so they had zero excuse.

    Yup, defensive shots to the back of the head of someone on their knees. I hope she rots in prison, but I also am losing hope.

    He did have a gun on him, although he never reached for it. And, they shot him after they disarmed him.

      well, not strongly worded. more like fortified with words that hold no merit or strength for the issue.

      we oppose the killing of American citizens

      who remain at home and do not inject themselves into political struggles.
