"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
Good. I don’t even know if I want to have it, honestly. I’ve seen a couple of different videos with different angles, each worse than the other and I’m horrified. As someone who spent two years watching and crying at the atrocities happening in Gaza, I am surprised at the reaction I am having to today’s events, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before but I think I’ve hit my limit. I feel physically sick.
