Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

From the released footage, it appears that the murderer, Jonathan Ross, was holding his phone camera and filming the entire murder. That is critical evidence that the state needs to have to either prosecute or potentially exonerate Jonathan Ross. I’m not sure why more of the reporting on this murder isn’t covering that detail. Again, murderer Jonathan Ross is in possession of critical murder evidence that documents a fuckin’ murder.

Christchurch much?

BTW we have plenty video of everything, there really is no question. I recommend this 404media article.

I think they lost the .is domain.

I know this link worked for me: https://archive.ph/Dl0ST

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Are you sure? Here (EU) .is is working

He should be prosecuted for destroying evidence.

Edit: surprisingly, his video was released around the time I posted this.

Some key details from the phone footage.

  1. It was a handheld phone cam, not a body cam. ICE has thousands of dollars in equipment, but is choosing not to equip body cams; which could have kept his hands free to protect himself. Handheld allows the footage to be far shakier, so he can emphasize the idea he was "struck".
  2. The footage doesn't contain all of the gunshots. In high likelihood, it had to have been edited before posting, for this to be the case.

It was definitely edited.

...the murderer, Jonathan Ross, was holding his phone camera and filming the entire murder.

Is that confirmed somewhere? Just holding his phone with a camera app open isn't enough. ICE has an app that uses a photograph to supposedly tell whether or not someone is a citizen. If there is evidence he recorded the incident for any reason, then I would think that that would be clear evidence of premeditation.

The cell phone video that the murderer was taking has been posted on the internet.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Damn. He was clearly planning or shooting someone there. Mother fucker was taking video to jerk off to later.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

prediction: Lost in a phone upgrade.

[–] zombyreagan@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

The cell phone footage was leaked. I've seen it and u can clearly see the lady training the wheel away from him
