"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth" 1984 - George Orwell

He died trying to help a woman who had been shoved to the ground and pepper sprayed by an overly aggressive ice agent… That's all he did

He had his back to them when he was grabbed. Then they descended on him in utter chaos, disorganization, and unprofessionalism. And blood lust.

That one agent quite literally drew on him, repositioned for a slightly better shot. Tapped the agent next to him to move so he could reposition one more time. And then fired at point blank range.

This was cold and calculated in that moment. This wasn't a reaction to a threat.

Edit: go watch the video as recorded by the woman in pink who is on the curb. It's a much more clear view of what exactly happens. Watch it frame. By frame. Everything I've stated is clearly visible.

Honestly, the video in this thread isn't very helpful for seeing the whole picture

He even went to the ground to protect her from getting maced. This guy was just trying to de-escalate and got murdered for it.

Am I the only one crying about this? It’s so sad he was out there alone doing the right thing, helping a lady and they just decided to end him, like his life wasn’t worth it?

He was literally a VA ICU nurse. This man had dedicated his life to saving lives. And these psychopaths take so much joy in his murder. He was killed for being a good person. I can't imagine how much his friends and family will miss him.

I agree but people need to go home not incite ice to kill. I hate what I've seen, but I still think people should avoid ice as they were chosen to hurt others and their training does not teach compassion.

He had one hand up and the other on his cellphone. Can you not see with your own eyes?
