Appears? They fucking mag dumped into his limp corpse.

If the Democrats running the states were serious about protecting their constituents they would bring murder and state-level RICO charges against the appropriate members of ICE.

But all I hear is a hollow “please don’t do this”

Fuck this two party, techno-fascist enabling system.

People need to stand up to protect themselves - no one else is in these situations

If people start ambushing and wiping out ICE teams, my reaction is going to be “about fucking time”

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 59 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (6 children)

A lot of them don't wear radios. If they get separated they're screwed.

If ICE agents started disappearing you'd get a lot fewer volunteers. Bovino's outside in range of so many buildings pretty often. Would just take a dedicated few to send a message.

What they want for their civil war is a character they can point to as a central villain to polarize "the enemy" around; if agents get picked off and no one gets caught, they don't have the character they need for the story they want to tell.

And honestly, if you're against what I'm saying, consider that the only way the cops will arrest the murderers from this afternoon is if they fear retribution. Have the cops arrest those ice agents for the "safety" of those ice agents.

Good luck

Reddit passes out warnings and bans at the slightest hint of me “approving of violence,” even when I upvote something as small as saying “hey maybe arrest the men who execute innocent people,” so uhhhh, I’ll just say that here.

We should imprison all ICE agents. And if they were to go missing and/or die, I would not lose a wink of sleep.

[–] rockettaco37@feddit.nu 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I just got unsuspended after 7 days for roughly the same thing. Fuck that site.

[–] doug@lemmy.today 37 points 3 days ago (5 children)

My account of over 18 years was permabanned after 2 AI-given strikes for upvoting Luigi pictures, and a third one for saying “if he could just not wake up this time, that’d be great” on a pic of Trump snoozing.

That place has gone to the dogs.

"appears"

It's already begun:

Reminder that "armed with a gun" is not the same as brandishing or shooting. In most parts of the US, it's perfectly legal to be armed with a pistol.

Possessing a firearm is a death penalty offense in Trump's America, huh

we don't even know if this was planted or not.

The Whitehouse is openly lying on social media, why are we expected to believe anything the federal government says at this point?

I've found this to be a fairly comprehensive review of the available videos. Conclusions appear reasonable. https://resistmap.substack.com/p/they-took-his-gun-then-they-shot

I heard 10 shots, delivered directly into him as they held him down on the ground. They grabbed two guys, pushed them to the ground, and held one down while beating him so their colleagues could execute him at point blank range.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 days ago (6 children)

seriously, where the fuck are the cops that are supposed to be protecting the community from this?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 days ago

I don't think that's how the cops understand their jobs.

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago

Uvalde showed us all what cops are. Nothing else needs to be learned or said about police, that disgusting event told us every single thing worth knowing.

The man shot by ~~federal agents~~ domestic terrorists

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 19 points 3 days ago

This all happened in one year. This isn't going to deescalate.

Before the 2024 election Mary Trump said that if he got reelected the American experiment would be over, and that prediction's not looking good at this point.

[–] itistime 13 points 3 days ago (16 children)

We all may feel some impulse to act, even violently, but have a great feeling of uncertainty because there are no leaders. We need direction based off of game theory, or something. We need strategies that are surgical, because be real — we are outgunned. Yes, there are gun owners on the left, but come on, you know who has the lion’s share. Not only that, but we are different in that we hesitate to harm, because it’s the last thing we want. My dad kills animals for pleasure, but I do not. Also, if you aren’t armed now, you better do so immediately, because the gun nuts are not going to blink an eye when we are inevitably denied access.

We need real strategy. Daggers in a select few hearts may be enough to shift things.

Are there organizations or groups that do this? They would have to do it in secret, so how could we know? So it seems we’d have to assume we couldn’t know and form our own? Honestly, please clue me in!

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Just gonna float the idea out there that you should assume that everything you do online or via a cell phone can be and is being watched. For all those privacy minded folks out there, take a hint from Goodfellas and don't ever talk over the phone about anything you want to keep private (unless you can find a payphone, I guess). That goes doubly so for internet forums.

I just keep watching these videos and thinking about how insane it is that a life was taken so quickly. I know that is the nature of the world, and things can change in an instant. But it seems so surreal to watch.

Renee Good was smiling at a man and deescalating a situation, that was the last thing she knew before a bullet. Now Alex Pretti was defending a woman from being shoved to the ground and before that woman could even steady herself again he was beaten and killed.

Fuck, it's so pathetic that these losers have that kind of power over life. Trump, Noem, and Bovino (and every other rat bastard in the administration) have given the unhinged bullies a license to kill. I look forward to the day that these assholes hang for their crimes. Tell the people you care about that you love them.

I hope americans didn't beleive that only one fatal shooting was possible. Unfortunatly there will be more. When dictators made the first shot, it is easier for them to do it again. Dictators by designcannot feel remorse, say sorry, correct themself. It is funny but USA managed to controll our dictator and he didn't fire any shoots to protesters.

If a video appears to show something then it shows something, right? Am I crazy? If a video shows something then it automatically appears to show it, right?

Am I talking nonsense, or is this just another case of the media sanewashing what is obviously a fascist crackdown on the citizenry?
