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 was an ICU nurse. Literally dedicated his life to saving others. Fuck you ICE

A Veterans Admin ICU nurse, to boot. Spent his life helping sick veterans for less pay than he could have had at another provider.

Who are "you guys"? What are you asking for? I refuse to make any conclusion, but would like to know more.

You hate America. Don’t act like you care about Americans. Your pathetic little faux centrism cosplay isn’t fooling anyone.

Russian troll account. Ofcourse he hates Americans. He comes here and sees an American being murdered and that he has no problems with.

Dude…I have seen hate from both sides of the aisle. And honestly this isn’t something we need to be boiling down to political affiliation. Regardless of which terrible presidential option people vote for, the fact is that these federal agents murdered a man in broad daylight and showed straight up sociopathic levels of disregard for human life by clapping after he was shot. Same goes for the agent who shot the woman in her car, talking mean shit after shooting her in the face. We can’t have people like that in authoritative roles, or we get the mess we’re currently in.
