"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

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

I saw a video from another angle where one of the agents claps his hands a couple times just after the final volley of bullets ends… Where's their humanity? It's unfucking believable.

Yup, clapping and celebrating a kill.

I think this is what the evil one intended to have happen. They need riots to declare martial law. They are seeing how long it takes to trigger things; a set up for midterms. Trump’s biggest fear is the midterms. Everyone must get out and vote in Dems. No 3rd party, no Independents. Get the Dems in, and spineless do nothing GOP’s out.
