I live here. I have seen this. Apparently the answer is do not believe what you see. Believe what we tell you. Holy shit.
Apparently an ICE officer who was run over somehow managed to shoot her, then check the car and walk away.
Riiiight.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?

The foolish reject what they see, not what they think. The wise reject what they think, not what they see.

That has been their stance for a while now.
It's so dumb because they could so easily score some points by throwing him under the bus and saying, "no he crossed a line and should face justice" but no, they've got to be as evil as fucking possible like it's compulsory.
Their goal is to cause unrest so they have an excuse to cancel the midterms
The lesson to take away from all of this is that you're going to be murdered and they'll claim that you tried to run them over, no matter what you actually did. So why not just run them over?
The lesson is they'll escalate to violence against any random unarmed person that happens to be near them...
They haven't done this to anyone who was visibly armed tho, and I'll be shocked if they ever do.
Sooooo... Black Panthers revival party?
I wouldn't belive It if this administration told me the sky is blue and the Earth is round.
This is not going to end well.
Kash Patel following orders, which will subvert any follow-up investigation forever.
The whole US administration is fucked.
For sure but people seem to be organizing to protest rather quickly. It's too close to George Floyd. It feels different. Maybe it's just hopium.
E: The video material shared on socials is so clear that it makes it obvious to anyone looking the admin is lying, badly.
This is damn near identical to how the fascists approached George Floyd.
- Immediate victim blaming
- Immediate victim demonization
- Immediate dismissal of protests and dissonance as radical domestic/foreign terrorists
- Immediate calls for increased fascist footsoldiers on the streets to quell opposition
Difference is the fascists don't have the same legal resistance to their actions to prevent an all out crackdown on opposition like in 2020.
Probably exactly why Waltz is readying the Nat Guard. It isn't to resist ICE, its an attempt to discourage Trump from taking control of them again. I don't think that's gonna work tho.
If the justice system fails the public, the public will find its own justice. This is not a positive outcome for anyone.
