Watch the video.

It's tough, because it's literally a video of a murder.

But we all have to watch it.

3-4 Icicles at holding a man down and beating him, one of them lets off a single shot that instantly makes their victim go limp. Then 2-3 other icicles all draw and fire multiple shots into the body while the rest scatter.

Shit isn't getting better and complying doesn't work.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 91 points 3 days ago (9 children)

This is why I'm saying we need to get even more violent in retaliation.

People can downvote me all you want, but you know I'm right. It's literally the only thing these actual monkey-brains understand: violence.

If there's 4 of them beating and killing one person, there needs to be at least 10 of us with knives and aluminum bats hitting right back. We need to mix up our own chemical warfare agents.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 69 points 3 days ago (3 children)

No, because that will make them open fire...

What will work is protesters in plated vests with rifles.

Every state is different. For Minnesota it's illegal to open carry a rifle, and there's no permit to open carry a rifle. But if you get a permit to carry a handgun, you're now allowed to carry a rifle.

The threat of effective violence is more effective than the actual act of ineffective violence, even when the threat is just passively implied by the presence of rifles and plates.

It costs less than a grand to get kitted out just like an ICE agent, hell, most of them don't even seem to carry rifles, but all the more reason for protesters.

The Black Panthers seem to understand what it's gonna take to deter Miller's stormtroopers. Superior firepower.

The video

Grabbed this from a lower comment, should be attached to the top comment.

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm about to watch the video, but just want to state my thoughts after reading the article:

Video shows several agents wrestling the man to the ground and shooting him multiple times

This is the only information the article states. Their passive language suggests to me the sequence of actions is unclear, but probably that while wrestling him, he was shot before being fully restrained

Now to watch the video and find out if the wording is propaganda


2 notes:

  1. That shooting is so much worse than the wording would suggest

  2. I didn't realize the article was in a feed format. Explains why it was only 1 sentence

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I watched it multiple times and they just executed that guy. They just unloaded the entire clip into the body. Fucking hell that's just gruesome.

they executed this man. they beat him to the ground, pistol whipped him, and then shot him WHILE HE WAS PRONE AND LAYING DOWN.

Americans, for fucks sake, on the other site I'd be perma banned for suggesting what you know I'm going to suggest but you guys REALLY need to utilize that 2nd amendment you hold so dear. They are literally NOW executing you and to those that STILL believe "it won't happen to me or my family" you're wrong, it will and it currently is.

The only GOOD Nazi is a DEAD one.

The Greatest Generation understood this at great cost, and after that bloody sacrifice our leaders quietly pardoned and installed the wretched and vile filth into influential positions anyway, sugarcoating their twisted ideology with a shiny star-spangled finish and telling us freedom had won the day.

Would our great grandfathers still have charged those beaches if they could see how "great" their country has become today?

(Edit) I think they would...

We disappoint their memory at our peril.

That makes me sick to my stomach.

The sanctity of a human life has lost all meaning if it can be violated so casually without consequences...

This pot's about to boil over. It won't be long now...

You don't have to watch the videos.

You're going to watch a man getting killed. That's not good for your mental health. You can just take a pass here and not watch. Your watching the video is probably not going to help in any way, and it might hurt you. So, just think about your own needs before you traumatize yourself for no reason.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (15 children)

It's a fair warning. But it also shows that there was no restraint. They murdered him. There was no struggle. He was just letting a woman go free. There was no threat on ICE. We all see it.

But a fair warning for those who haven't seen something like that before.

I watched the video and yes it traumatized me. If you have personal trauma with situations that include police brutality and/or gun violence the video might retraumatize you. That having said, it's a reality. We cannot deny this is happening and you better face the ugly reality we live in. However: this wasn't the first incident and it won't be the last. Do yourself and your sensible soul a favor and don't watch all of this. A completely numbed down or traumatized countermovement doesn't serve anybody.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

There are more than 2 options. You don't have to either a) "watch the video(s)" or b) "hide from reality". There are also options like "don't watch the video but accept that the millions / billions of people who have watched it have described it accurately."

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 8 points 2 days ago

Interesting take on personal trauma. What's "good", "bad", or even "neutral" for mental health is very individualistic. A warning is warranted, but I'd be wary of telling people it's "not good" to watch it. Maybe not for you, but you are you're own person

Plenty of adults here who can make that call themselves (proper warning is always welcomed/needed)

Personally, I don't choose the route of burying my head in the sand so I can savor blissful ignorance. I watch people die regularly IRL and am comfortable with the notion... but what's wrong is wrong and sometimes people need to understand the reality. If they ain't up to it, than a proper NSFL warning is good enough to warn them

People ain't all children, and I respect what you're trying to say... but if I got executed like that man; I'd want everyone (who was able) to see it for themselves. Especially in an age where false narratives and soft details are the norm

I prefer to see the horror with my own eyes and make my own judgements. I've accidentally seen far too much as is, and it only gave me strength after healing

A warning's good enough, no need to patronize

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No, we NEED to be traumatized by this. We need to feel the visceral outrage that it takes to absolutely demand justice, OR ELSE! and mean it.

Everyone should watch the video. Ignorance is not, in fact, bliss. That man was murdered by our government because he dared to protect his fellow citizens. No one can appreciate how egregious that killing was until they see it in living color.

Hiding from the truth because the truth is hard, is no way to live. We should all know what it happening. It will effect us all sooner than we think.

They fucking mag dumped after the victim is clearly dead. These fucking fascists are untrained racist cowards. Every fucking ICE agent deserves to be imprisoned.

If you’re not screaming to destroy ICE I don’t want to hear your fucking opinion.

From what I understand, the man was recording. Approached by ICE, pushed by ICE, then assaulted by 6+ ICE agents, then murdered.

Next headline: Paid insane far left violent radical terrorist, viciously attacks lone ICE agent trying to deescalate situation. ICE agent barely survive with near fatal wounds.

Ohh, I think I see what happened. The up close angle makes it clear that "dangerous" man was trying to assist two unarmed women who were being assaulted by federal fascists after they made the fatal mistake of... maybe saying something mean (? I guess) or disrespectfully blowing whistles on a public street and trying to walk away.

I guess Americans should really know better than to try and deescalate when fascists are in the middle of having such a fucking ball assaulting their neighbors.

Note to all the "white knights" out there (not the ones who traded their hoods and crosses for a government issued mask and gun, just the ones that respect women): be careful not to cross the sexually frustrated terrorists when they're out there working through their issues with women. They've been training their whole lives for the day somebody would actually pay them to put a woman in her place when she gets a little too sassy. It's not fair for you to spoil it for them. /s

What the fuck were those broads thinking anyway? They must have known there would be fatal consequences for their actions. I mean really, imagine the audacity of just walking right up to and disrespectfully whistling at a white supremacist on a public street in 2026.

I have no words. I am literally speechless at what is currently happening in the US. I have to force myself to have words and they are all a mixture of vengeance and justice. Like.. holly fuck.

There is still a long way to go. A long way to go. But after all this is said and done, if there is an after, I hope you never forget these pieces of shit. I hope you force whomever comes next to hand you these people. They do not deserve jail, they deserve justice as given from the community. They are evil behind comprehension. Seems like you cannot give an inch to the right, as they will let their evilness take over and go after everyone, mercilessly.

I hope there is good work being done on identifying and preserving whoever these evil pieces of shit, motherfuckers, morons, idiots, pedophiles, are. And when this is all done, you fucking drive all of them out of society. You bully them as long and as hard as possible.

Pieces of shit motherfuckers.

To my American brothers, I am truly sorry for what is happening. I don't know the right thing to say. I want to motivate you to do what needs to be done, but at the same time, I am fully aware that it is hard.

Killing ICE Officers now SEEMS like a moral good. They'll kill you first. Well, they'll disarm you first, then summarily execute you.

Video from the lady in pink (opposite to the first one). The man to the right in green literally pulls out his gun for no reason and shoots the guy in the back of the head. Absolutely horrid.

I wasn't able to find any snapshots of that removed text, but it seems super plausible because they apparently had a reporter who happened to be on the scene before and when things went down

A Bring Me The News reporter who was near the scene said an agent opened fire at a man outside Glam Doll Donuts at Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street at around 9 a.m.

...

Immediately after our reporter approached the scene, an agent was heard yelling for help and scissors to open the victim's shirt. Agents told our reporter that they had immediately called 911 for assistance.

I'm guessing they told him that at the barrel of a gun, interesting that the optics of them refusing that doctor who wanted to do lifesaving care on Renee apparently got to them

But if this detail is confirmed I can't imagine how pissed off the cities are about to be

New video uploaded to Reddit shows several federal agents struggling with a man outside Glam Doll, during which a shot is fired, followed by multiple more shots fired at the man as he lay on the ground. [Ital added]
