    If this is not enough for Americans to finally start a civil war I don’t know what is. I hate this fucking nation.

    I had to keep jumping back to the start after the shots were fired because I couldn’t tell which one was firing. I saw the one guy remove the gun from his belt, but I didn’t actually see anyone pointing a gun at him when the shots went off. Silly me… I had been assuming it was one of any of the 5 guys actively struggling with him. I didn’t realize it was the guy standing next to them trying to find a way to pepper spray him in the face (again) before reacting to the sight of a gun on his person that was immediately removed by a colleague by grabbing his own gun and unloading a clip into the guy.

    Absolutely no justification for this, not even a long shot excuse about being in fear of his life. The gun wasn’t in his hand, it was removed from his person entirely, and 4 other guys were actively restraining him down in a crouching position. The shooter was in absolutely no danger.

    I don’t know if this was cowardice and odiocy that resulted in an unreasonable fear response because these guys are just basement dwelling bigots that were handed guns and badges without any real screening or training, or if the guy has just been itching to shoot someone and he saw the gun in his belt as his excuse/opportunity.

    Side note, even if I were an evil fascist racist small pricked ICE agent that fully supported killing this innocent bystander… I’d still be pretty fucking pissed that the dude fired on a guy that me and my 4 friends were actively dog piling on.

      As I reach for what the hell specifically drove that guy to clearly panic and draw his firearm and shoot, my best guess is he saw the gun and then saw a hand pull it. His two brain cells failed to understand it was one of his own pulling out the gun and opened fire thinking the guy just pulled his gun.

      Yo back that end date up several decades/centuries lol. It was doomed before it was born. The land was taken violently from the very beginning. Given its beginnings, I don’t understand how anyone could think this wasn’t going to be the end result.

    Merica is the worst shithole in the world, and it always were. What is happening locally, violently abusing people for their own benefit, your shit-lords have done in all other nations on Earth for 75+ years.

    Your leaders don’t care about ‘free speech’, ‘human rights’ or ANY of the lgbt+/climate or any of the latest ‘feel good’ propaganda campaigns. They never did. It doesn’t matter which branch of the uniparty Plutocracy we look at. They don’t give a shit about anything other than money/power and grabbing more of it - ‘people’ are either in their way, or can be exploited…

    The Merican dictatorship - The Empire of Lies - are cracking up, and going down hard !

    I recommend that you either get used to it and live a subservient life under a - now openly - fascist dictatorship - or take your nation back from the rich psychos that control and terrorize you and everyone else on the planet…

      It was always this way. White man with a rifle is okay, brown man is obviously an agitator.

      Guns are an oppressive force in the US. They have never and will never be used to stop oppression, just lead us to the new oppressive regime.

    Say the the same prayer folks. These are the dumbest fucks in this country. Let’s get creative! For instance. Stay the fuck outta the way drop off a blue tooth speaker with shots fired sound & watch the chromosonally challenged light each other up. It’s worth a shot 🥸

      Execution is worse in my opinion. A murder means the ICE agent acted against protocol and murdered a man. An execution implies this is a state sanctioned act of violence.

      Which is what it was. The goverment has empowered its agents to come into our cities and execute us.

          While it may be illegal under the letter of the law the government has acted to justify and normalize this action as a perfectly legal action.

          Unless the government changes their statements we have to accept that DHS personal are allowed to kill Americans with total impunity. Those are executions.

    Wow. That is so clear. You can see the agent watch the gun pulled from the back and once it was removed the agent shot him.

      My theory is that he saw a hand pull the gun and panicked because he thought it was the victim’s hand.

      He clearly panicked specifically to something, it looks like he panicked at seeing a fellow “agent” pulling the victim’s weapon. Not the weapon itself which he seems to be watching before drawing, but the hand removing the weapon.

      Since he had tunnel vision on the gun, he failed to recognize the hand removing the gun as being separate from the victim.

        Watch the video again, he drew his gun after the other officer had removed the victim’s gun. He then took the time to back away and reposition before shooting the victim

        It seems pretty obvious that this was a retaliatory killing for the protests Friday and they targeted the guy with a gun so they could justify it for self defense

        He was holding a phone, but had a gun bolstered on his hip. The gun was removed from his holster by the guy in the grey jacket moments before the ICE agent opened fire.

      and he’s even aiming for a good moment, it’s not that he upholstered and inadvertently gave off a shot, he did pull the trigger in a conscious and determined action

    These people were waiting for years, maybe even decades, to finally get to shoot a human in their own county. It’s incredibly scary. 1000008613
