    spoiler

    Video from an eyewitness directly in front of the situation

    Marked video of incident as spoiler for graphic content.

    [EDIT]

    Bovino has already claimed he was there to “massacre law enforcement” and Miller is already calling him a “Domestic Terrorist”.

    Don’t believe your fucking lying eyes and ears. The ICU nurse with a legal carry permit is a mass murderer who checks notes defended a lady pushed to the ground by an ICE agent. He was totally going to go on a murder spree right after, though.

      Executing a man on his knees is totally justified bro.

      Fucking DHS lies about this are infuriating.

        Executed AFTER they disarmed him, since he was carrying a gun. He wasn’t even a threat in the way they’re going to claim.

        Also ice killed 34 people last year. We need to treat all deaths with the same energy because the murders are coming with increased frequency.

    US is really turning into russia but with a stronger cultural preference for “freedom” polemics.

    I’ve lived for multiple years in both US and russia (I speak English and russian), so I think I have something like a frame of reference.

        You are not only believing everything they tell you, no matter how obviously it is wrong, but legitimising killing and/or kidnapping non „official” citizens too

        Or how about when the killed a mother without even asking for documenta?

      The entire concept of free speech zones is an affront to what the country claims to stand for, but it’s been a practice for decades now.

      The problem with escalation here is that trump scum immediately use it to strip rights, declare martial law, or start getting more fucky with the rules. I don’t know what the solution is because you can’t negotiate at the end of a gun barrel, but also escalation certainly brings more guns.

      Thanks you fucking magat scums, you and the fucking morons who don’t vote helped make all this happen. When it’s over I hope you all die of vaccine preventable diseases.

      10 times. While holding him down on the ground, after beating him with their guns and disarming him. All because he filmed them abusing women and tried to help the women find safety.

    Don’t worry, I heard AOC and Tim Walz are both planning VERY angry Tweets! They might even drop an angry face emoji to end the whole thing!

      Walz may even call in the national guard to help the police brutalize potential protests.
