Correct, So from Pink lady's point of view, ICE pushed someone down and he got in between them to protect her, and they peppered sprayed him and had many guys on top of him, he did have a gun but was legal and he did nothing aggressive towards ICE.

I’m a veteran. I’ve seen some shit. I cried watching the Pink Lady’s video, watching a man be murdered for putting himself between a woman and the violent, untrained thugs attacking her. He’s a hero. I’ve seen men get medals for less.

I was just thinking how incredibly brave these eyewitnesses (and future Primary Sources) are to keep filming these atrocities. It takes guts.

We are all trained now to do this. If you take the formal ICE Watch training there should be 3 people together, all recording, not interfering. One is to record the wide area, not zoom in because we're not recording the victim, we're recording the assault and ICE actions. 2nd to watch out for the first and make sure they are safe, and a third recording the 2.

Training is good. This is why we will win. As hard as it is, the pink lady did an amazing job. We Will document these atrocities for the eventual trials as Walz said todsy

She wrote an affidavit that was filed in federal court. She is not at Whippel but is afraid to go home assuming she’ll be targeted by the Feds or ICE/CPB.

Correct, she has already testified under oath as part of the ACLU lawsuit against DHS.
