He was holding a camera...

They were defending themselves from accountability.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 61 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Don’t watch this if you don’t want to witness the ICU nurse die. It was, truly, a street execution.

they also took his entirely legal firearm before they shot him… more angles of the execution:

The ICE in the grey coat, yes. Then the other ICE shoots him.

We are in the street execution phase of the MAGA regime.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

the MAGA regime

The legitimate American government and I say it that way because pushing it as MAGA dilutes responsibility.

The sooner that responsibility is owned, the sooner they’ll work together to have it removed.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The executive branch appears to be MAGA. But you’re right. That doesn’t excuse the other two branches. Like those 7 dems that voted through ICE funding.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not all of them. Most Republicans are but there’s a few that aren’t.

Either way the choices are limited.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm going to argue against your warning. Yes, it's awful. Yes, it'll probably change you. However, that needs to happen. I say the same thing about people voting and war. They should watch the brutality of war and let that effect their voting. People need to witness horror so they can't sit back in ignorance. You should be traumatized, because we're going through trauma. You can't just hide from it forever.

It’s a fair argument but there is a large slide bar on resilience. Just like not everyone can be taught, not everyone can face that sort of thing and not turn into a mental puddle. That’s what our military is supposed to be for, to protect those people so they can do their part untouched by that crap. Just not in today’s America under the regime of chaos & brutality.

[–] aquafunk@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

no. those federal agents murdering people are our employees. we pay them, those that can handle violence and those that cant. everyone needs to own what people are doing IN THE NAME OF AMERICA, in our name, with our money, and with our blessing if we dont stop them, all of us

watching people you employ kill someone makes you uncomfotable?

[–] tehsillz@lemmy.world 50 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely insane. Even if this was a police officer there would be an investigation that would last for days before coming to any sort of conclusion. This comes just hours after the incident, with NO EVICENDE to support her claims, quite the contrary! Even republicans have to be appalled by this. If this is not the tipping point then it's absolutely game over for America. Your laws are not protecting you anymore!

[–] henfredemars 42 points 2 weeks ago

Lie, lie, lie.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Noem, Hegseth, Trump, and the whole lot need to be led out in chains through the streets of Minneapolis.

Ceaucescu'd.

[–] medgremlin@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Might as well go the rest of the way and do it like the "Shame" scene in Game of Thrones. They wouldn't make it one block before the frostbite does its job.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

It came to mind.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

Nobody believes the puppy murderer but the most brain dead.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Watch the video starting with "AA672..." in this proton drive folder

You can clearly see that one of the thugs disarmed the victim and fired a shot into the pavement as he was leaving, and a second later the victim was brutally shot to kill by the other thugs.

I bet this was all on purpose - the shot to the pavement from the victim's gun was so they could claim the victim fired the first shot and killing him was in self defense.

Fucking atrocious murderers.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

All else aside, the guy leaving with the gun didn't fire it. There was no recoil, no action cycling or shell ejection ,no vapor, and someone would have probably been hit from ricochet and fragments. A 9mm still makes a decent recoil and some vapor.

This just makes it worse as it means the first shot heard is from the other agent's gun so they had zero excuse.

And execution

[–] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago

This administration has proven they are as comfortable with lying as they are breathing. So many obvious and provably false things on a daily basis. Often times they even laugh about it like the doctored AI image the White House tweeted yesterday.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago

He did have a gun on him, although he never reached for it. And, they shot him after they disarmed him.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I’m waiting for the strongly worded letter from the democrats.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

well, not strongly worded. more like fortified with words that hold no merit or strength for the issue.

we oppose the killing of American citizens

who remain at home and do not inject themselves into political struggles.
[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Might even be worth a good finger wagging.

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, don't be so hard on them! At least the Nazi in the 40s showed their face.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 18 points 2 weeks ago

Any shots directed at ice or its leaders should be considered defensive

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 15 points 2 weeks ago

I wish someone would treat her the way she treats dogs.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Why does it matter what the regime says? Does anyone actually still believe them? It's such an obvious lie, they're almost flexing how much power they have that they can say something so incorrect.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It matters because it 1) shows what they think they can get away with, and 2) suggests how much further they're willing to go.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It matters because, yes, some of them do. And many pay zero attention to the news so whatever soundbite they do hear often becomes officially what happened in their minds.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

yeah... I know :( I just wanna not live in the reality where anyone actually still believes this

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes thanks for saving America from VA nurse who died trying to help people you deadeyed Nazi

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, defensive shots to the back of the head of someone on their knees. I hope she rots in prison, but I also am losing hope.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

She gets more disgusting with every word she speaks.

[–] Bwaz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Either she didn't watch the videos or is lying. Probably both, no one in this administration (or nearly the entire Republican party) has any credibility at all anymore

[–] brooke592@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If she cared about her family, she wouldn't support fascism.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

She's a psychopath, she doesn't care about her family. They are tools to make her look normal to the world.

She killed a puppy that wouldn't listen, then hopped up on bloodlust she had to kill a goat, too. Then she wrote about it in her book, because she's a psychopath, who honestly thought it would make her look tough and decisive, instead of like the psychopath she truly is.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You know how the saying goes, the best defense is shooting someone in the back!

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

As much as we all knew bad stuff was coming the ability to continually say things that clearly is false given the video evidence is just stunning. I really don't get anyone buying this. I mean its practically impossible to not see the videos. It boggles my mind that somone could somehow only watch the edited versions and not even accidentally see some of the raw stuff.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

THEY chose violence? That's some world-class doublespeak, right there.
