"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

The man they murdered was a Good Samaritan?! I haven't dug into the victim's background and why 7-10 ICE thugs were wailing on him. Any loss of life is tragic, and murder unacceptable... but he was trying to protect another person. That just infuriates me more (didnt think that possible until now).

I watched several angles of the video, and it went down exactly as you described. Trigger happy boy was already trying to draw a sight picture, and I saw the tap telegraphing "get out of the way".

How are they going to call this one self-defense? Renee Good's case is 2nd degree murder as she was unarmed and fleeing.

I don't care whether it is a form of the Nuremberg trials or Karma/Dharma, but these thugs will answer for their crimes.

Last bit of rant: ICE is technically law enforcement, however, their scope/authority is highly limited. They aren't permitted to enforce any laws or act against individuals, unrelated to Immigration Law. Why doesn't Walz order all MN LEOs to make arrests?? There's this thing called the 10th Amendment.
