This is just a fucking carjacking. How the hell was he supposed to know it was a state sponsored carjacking. what the fuck are we doing here.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

propublica.orgTear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let OnIn the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Citizens are in the driver's seat now imho. It's cool if some politicians are quicker on the uptake than others but they are following us now, I'm not waiting for them anymore

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

They really can't do it. They really can not simply say "Abolish ICE." They always have to add a qualifier. Abolish the untrained ICE. Abolish our opponents ICE. They're too scared to look anti cop to take a popular position held by their voters as their voters are murdered in the streets.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

As an Iranian-American, witnessing the IRGC in Iran say they’re only shooting violent protesters at the same time ICE in the US says they’re only shooting violent protesters is breaking me. It feels like we’ve lost the entire world to fascism.

My heart breaks for Iranian protesters. They’re going into the streets every night to support each other, and because they feel they have nothing left to lose, and they understand they might get killed or tortured as a result. Nearly 50 years of this regime. Most of them never knew a free Iran.

I’ve been lurking on Iranian twitter and a lot of the diaspora acts like this is an exciting game that we’re watching unfold. As if these aren’t people’s kids going out there to risk their lives. I want it to end but I also don’t want it to be in vain.

whole lot of ICE pricks just saw that they can murder someone and not only not be arrested, but the president will call them a hero who saved the day. they even have a blueprint for how to shoot people they want to. extremely bad precedent

"what are we going to do with 20,000 ICE agents if we abolish ice" well to start with I think we should all literally spit on them in public for the rest of their lives

I have had enough. I was more than content to say impeachment was pointless because he will never be convicted by the Senate, and to just focus on impeachment of his lackeys. But you know what? Impeach him anyway. Create an extensive written record of his high crimes and misdemeanors.

When they ask “why don’t we protest like the French?”, this is why. Because they shoot us in the head for absolutely no reason and get away with it by making excuses. This country is rotten and I am sick to my stomach.

Replying to @alannavagianos.bsky.social

The video shows ICE agents removing the woman's body from the car & carrying her down the road, no ambulance. An onlooker tried to approach to help, identified himself as a doctor & ICE pointed guns at him.

i don't want war, man. sending love to venezuela. what the american military is doing is nothing short of a cacophony of war crimes and an abuse of human lives. there is no justification, there will be no reconciliation.
