Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Gregory Bovino applauded his agents’ actions in Minnesota, despite one citizen being killed by agents.

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino on Sunday said his Customs and Border Patrol agents are “the victims” after they shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minnesota. In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash pointed out that Bovino had repeatedly referred to Pretti as a “suspect” as he defended CBP’s training and de-escalation tactics.

“With respect, it feels as though in some ways you’re blaming the victim here,” Bash said.

Bovino replied, “The victim? The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I’m not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The suspect put himself in that situation.”

Going to be awkward when the inner circle shrinks and people realise his name ends with a vowel.

I just wonder how many people they’ve horrifically raped and killed when the cameras weren’t rolling

They will indeed be a victim sooner than later. Some prophesies are just so doggone self fulfilling.

I can't keep all of the murders over the years straight. Which one was it where reps from the police union tried to make a statement to the press and the one guy was just blubbering through his crocodile tears claiming that they were the victims?

Relocated out of Minneapolis feels like moving a priest who fucked a kid to a new church. Keep them in the city so we know where to kill them

Is this clown the new Arpaio? The abuse the fuck out of everyone so I can be the biggest badass kind of guy? He seems far more sadistic than Arpaio who seemed to do it because he wanted the attention. Bovino genuinely seems to enjoy inflicting pain.

A victim in the sense the rapist is the victim cause they were asking for it?

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Look at me I'm narcissistic long coat wearing asshole. Like most narcissist I completely lack empathy and am never wrong. I'm always the victim even where I'm hurting people. signed Bovine Asshole.

If good ran that pig over she might still be alive. If Alex dripped those pigs with his gun he might still be alive

Short people always think it's everyone else's fault.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

Don't blame all short people for this nazi.

Well, in a sense, I guess he’s a little bit right, because hopefully those fucks will eventually get vigilante justice’s.

But in terms of the narrative he’s trying to spin: eat shit, motherfucker.

Lil Greg doesn't understand the meaning of the word "victim". Lil Greg should be given an experiential teaching of the word.

He's going to need a step stool to get him up to the Noose when it's time.
