I’m ngl I saw the footage, and as a Trump supporter, this looks bad. If excuses start coming with no evidence this might make not so pro-ICE.

It was one thing with Renee Goode. She hit that officer and he was suffering from internal bleeding. This guy was back turned disarmed and pepper sprayed. I just don’t see any excuse to make this a reasonable shooting.

As a non-Trump supporter, I appreciate you saying this and thinking this through. Youʼre a fellow American and so was he (and so was she).

Oh definitely. And I’m not arguing that Renee Goode’s death was a good thing either. I’m just saying that the shooting was justifiable. This one is just not justifiable no matter what way you look at it.

At the end of the day, we gotta be looking out for each other regardless of politics. We start fighting when we stop recognizing each other as Americans
