Yup, and they simply don't give a shit. For them this is power.
I get it, but news orgs have been sued many times for getting stuff wrong, even when there is video. Its not so much about being fair, its more about not getting sued. They don't really have much to gain by making positive assertions.
I've seen the video and linked it in the current events thread. It doesn't actually show the shooting and is video from one of the ICE officers. It looks to me to be legit. What i cant believe is that Vance et al think releasing that video works in their favor. it most certainly does not
She was not "blocking the road" she was trying to pull into the other lane to leave. She waved a car next to her to drive away first, then she starts to drive away and the Truck speeds in. She tries to wave for them to go but they jump out and start screaming at her. She tries t o back up to avoid hitting them, and then panics and tries to drive away and is Shot.
Their entire brand is being hyper-masculine and hyper-violent, and applying said violence to the out group. They believe it works in their favor because it absolutely works with their base.
This entirely misses the point. From their perspective there’s no hypocrisy here and it doesn’t matter because the actual thesis is to be able to exert power/force AND get away with it. That’s the ethos.
What class of citizens, and by whom? None that I'm aware of. If you're talking about the war in Gaza, totally different environment, no police involved, it's not Israeli territory, and Gazans aren't ISraeli citizens.
Second class. As in not given citizenship rights but forcefully put under Israeli law.
I know we have the 4th Amendment, but it’s not worth the toilet paper it’s printed on these days.
I said this over a year ago. I said then, the US is post-constitution.
One would not be blamed for assuming these clowns have awful trigger discipline.
If only the people who write the Bill of Rights had enshrined in the Constitution the right to bear arms so that tyrannical governments could be opposed and held to account by force, failing other measures.
The "originalists" are just returning it to its original intent - protections for rich white men and no one else.
Don't tread on me gave way pretty quickly to comply or die.
He fired at least the last two shots after he was already out of the path of the vehicle, and even when he fired the first one, it was already turning away from him. He pulled the gun before the vehicle started moving in his direction.
Grainy and not from an angle where you can clearly see the position of the ICE cop vs. the car. It adds nothing.
Probably a bit unfair. That ICE agent is currently in hiding under federal protection. Not likely you're getting anywhere near him to arrest him. Even if you did, the federal government would use every channel to get a judge to undo it, including going all the way to the SCOTUS emergency docket. You're going to need to have your homework done to get that one, and there definitely hasn't been enough time to do that.
I could tell the car was not coming at him outside having an orthonormal component which would have been rapidly diminishing.
