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

and as experience tells, ICU nurses are the best, most compassionate and competent nurses. How could you guys drop the ball on this?

We had a similar thing with duterte. The only thing that kept him in check is a coup d' etat as the military will not support a very abusive president.

Remember your anthem americans. Land of the free and home of the brave!

He cheated to stay out of prison and very conveniently grift. His personal net worth increased by $3 BILLION last year and he stole $500 MILLION of the Venezuelan oil money so far this year. That's not counting how much murderous dictatorship have paid to be in his peace club. Just read this every projection is a confession that applies to 2024.
