  • It can’t be morally justified but nobody should be shocked when it gets legally justified. I’m as disgusted as anyone that ex-army people get hired as cops, and that policing itself is basically militarised, where if a person moves their hand slightly then they get killed. Nothing will change and I’m just going to enjoy the polarisation from outside the US. It’s not clear to me why ICE would randomly order a person from their car unless the person was blocking traffic or ICE vehicles. The shooting part I get, it’s America so I’m not surprised given that it happens all the time, but I can’t tell what happened prior to this killing. Unless there is a news article or video to add context and show was filmed prior to the videos we’ve seen so far, then I can’t say exactly what led to this.







  • Pretty bold move to have all the doors locked and then erratically maneuver away. As a rule I never bring my car anywhere near a protest, no matter how benign it looks. Once I went to a political event and I parked a mile away just to be safe. Everyone else had eggs thrown at their parked cars but my car was safe lol. Paranoia is my default.

    People who protest need to think what their exit plan is going to be. Are you going to comply with law enforcement or are you going to resist arrest? If you’re going to speed off in a huge SUV to resist arrest then are you sure you aren’t going to hit anyone? I thought that activist groups planned security procedures and generally accept that there’s going to be a few people arrested?
