The Sidewalk School on Instagram: "ICE caught on camera lying about deadly shooting in Chicago. Agent claimed he was “dragged” by car “significant distance”—only shot driver because he “feared for his life.” Surveillance video clearly shows car back up and just drive away—no immediate danger to agent is present that would make it necessary for him to fire his weapon as the man drove away. Silverio Villegas-Gonzales has nothing in his criminal record that would warrant his arrest—only minor traffic citations. “He wouldn’t hurt anybody,” said his mother, Rosa Vilegas. “He was just trying to go home to his kids.” His son Marco said: “He worked two jobs, would do anything for us. He panicked-that’s not a crime.” Silverio Villegas-Gonzales was pronounced dead almost immediately after being transported to the Loyola University Medical Center.

    Oh look, just like I said in one of the original threads, “dragged” was actually the officer holding onto the car or door handle.
