    If this isn’t a call to return their violence and then some, then we’re done. This is not normal. We have to stop reacting and start acting. Complying with ICE is not safe. Harassing them with whistles is not enough. They are a domestic invader here to demoralize and subjugate the people of the United States. You are now at war with your own government whether you want to be or not, because they are at war with you.

    Hard to read in that scrum but it looks like they grabbed the guy, started trying to arrest him, and he struggled a bit. It’s such a pile-on they have a man for every limb so they should know they have basically nothing to fear. The grey jacket goes to join in on a leg, then grey-jacket and the starer spot the gun. Grey jacket goes to grab the victim’s gun, but starer reaches for his own weapon like that’s somehow going to protect him from the still holstered gun of a person with a full grown man on each of his arms. I can’t tell which guns go off from this video but I suspect grey-coat fumbled and caught the trigger, probably almost shooting starer in the foot through the victim’s pants, but then starer shit himself and started firing so blindly it’s a surprise he didn’t hit anyone else. In a remotely sane system, starer would be immediately outed as ‘unworthy of the badge’ by the other agents, the agency, and even the supporters of this idiocy. Any escalation move, even just drawing your weapon first needs to be a firing offense.

      Just to add, the shooter emptied his clip. I counted upwards of 12, but it was difficult because they got very close toward the end. So close together that I’m certain he only stopped firing because there were no bullets left.

      The only slightly positive thing about all this is that the murderers holding him down are absolutely rethinking their employment choices, hard. That idiot ICE motherfucker was firing down into the scrum of them on top of the victim.

      When ICE agents firing blindly into a pile of coworkers are the people you go to work with every day . . . you deserve everything you get if you stay, lol.

      EDITED to add: Wikipedia says the shooter was an eight-year veteran of Border Patrol with “extensive training.” Either that’s another lie, or it’s way worse in DHS/CBP/ICE than we thought.

    Executed in broad daylight by fascists. What was the point of your Second Amendment?

    Can’t wait for nothing to ever happen about this blatant public execution. Jesus Christ.

    Backup a copy of the videos to a Linux computer. The federal government sent a delete request to Apple and probably Google too.

        He’s right. If they manage to consolidate power they are absolutely going to try to redact history in every way they can. If there’s anything you think you’d ever need to remember you should be backing it up locally.

          He’s not right. He’s talking in past tense.

          I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I hate people saying randomly bullshit as fact.

            Yeah, I see what you’re saying; I’d just glossed over the Apple/Google thing because I don’t count on them to preserve anything. Thanks for the civil correction.
