Sanewashing: the old videos clearly showed the murder was in cold blood. I strongly oppose this capitulation to the right's framing that there was any ambiguity to begin with.
100%. Same for Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez in Chicago. The guy tried driving away from an illegal stop and they executed him.
I'm starting to think their weird mishandling of evidence and making these blatant lies about what happened are purposely being made to create rage and incite riots. Why else would they release his video? It's obvious from the first few videos that he was a murderer, other than to piss off the people, why would you lie AND release more evidence against him?
From what little I have seen, right wing outlets were interpreting the video as proof the officer was hit by the car because of the way the phone gets jostled at the end. You also can't see in this video exactly when he draws his gun, or how the shooter is positioned. It's damning when combined with the other videos, but on its own it's a lot less clear.
And they also see it as proof that these were "agitators" obstructing "law enforcement" based on the confrontational tone with the woman outside the vehicle. They want to frame the issue as law enforcement vs criminals, rioters and radical domestic terrorists. They want to blame the victim and undercut the narrative that this was an innocent bystander.
Obviously a sane person would recognize that it doesn't matter if the victim was politically active or even obstructing police, it's still murder. But these aren't moral, rational people and they aren't trying to persuade an audience with legal arguments, just feeding the US vs them mentality.
They want to chip away at the support bit by bit, targeting different messages to try to overcome the natural sympathy people that center right people might have for a pretty white mother with toys stuffed in her glovebox. So they show her wife a lowly lesbian "feeemale" being uppity to a white male authority figure, "justifying" his response.
I've also seen attacks on her fitness as a mother ("her responsibility was keeping herself safe for her children" as if simply being at a protest is not a place for anyone with a family) and deliberately using less attractive photos or photos that emphasize her queerness to cut away at those biases.
her responsibility was keeping herself safe for her children
They can expand this even further to try to discourage people from being active. Anything to keep protests down. She was doing what she thought was best for the future, for her daughter (and other children), and she was being what American should mean.
Don't let any of the personal attacks or questions on motives detract from the blatant murder.
Yeah jeez, she's protesting to keep her children safe AND everyone else's (even the right). Seems like a damn good mother to me
Or they are still testing how far they can lie with actual video evidence that says otherwise. You know Ministry of Truth style.
So one thing that I learned from Timothy Snyder is that one of the critical things that leads to political violence is humiliation. This is something that the trump regime is really doubling down on, especially lately, through multiple different channels. They've already made clear, explicitly, that they want to cancel the midterm elections. Inciting violence is the means to that end. They're celebrating her death and flaunting power, ratcheting up violence and amplifying instances of violent outcomes in media. They've even fixed their own agent in hopes that someone will try something stupid.
In this sense, Good's shooting or something like that was inevitable, they're seizing this opportunity for all it's worth. They were expecting this and were ready to act. They engineered the situation.
And it's so blatantly obvious too. They think they're crafty when they're just fascist lite, all the fascism, no competence at all.
The original fascists weren't competent either. That's a myth.
Some of them were, but you're right, most were idiot sycophants.
Everyone else is saying it. If you watched the first video, you know it's murder. It's not a matter of if it's murder or not; it's about holding fascists accountable for their actions. Thank you for posting this. It sucks but we need to keep up. We're all in this together.
so did the old videos
The very first video confirmed it.
You aren't gonna convince these boot licking fascist cunts with any evidence. That's not the point.
They want to kill
They want to kill racial minorities
They want to kill gender and sexual minorities
They want to kill women
And they want to kill anyone outside of their cult.
Every single MAGA fuckwitt is hostile or want someone to be hostile on their behalf.
They want to kill everyone inside their cult, too. There's a reason Bannon was jailed for defrauding trump supporters and then pardoned by trump. They give zero shits about anyone but the wealthy.
Its more about the spectacle, feelings and for the people at the top, money. The money, ironically is the easiest part to address but it would require elected government willing to take on money and break up all the big media and tech companies.
He shot her through the driver side window. He essentially put the gun through the open window and pulled the final shot. I'm no expert but cars don't move sideways at 0.1 mph.
If ICE agent Jonathan Ross’s life was truly in danger we would see all three bullet holes in the front windshield but that’s clearly not the case. Looks like 2nd degree murder to me.
Typical lose one argument, so try and create a new one
Edit: It’s not logical to play chicken with a car thats a few feet from your body. Vehicles can maim or kill...fear in that situation is a normal human response.
If you think it’s safe or reasonable, flip the situation. Step in front of a couple of SUVs and tell us you wouldn’t fear for your life. Then explain how you reached that mindset.
Until then, pretending this isn’t dangerous ignores reality.
Wouldn't your normal fear response be to... get out of the way?
Enforcement agents are trained to blocks path of escape, only once told to exit the vehicle did she Gun it.
So the video clearly shows her trying to drive away and the ICE agent intentionally going from the back of her car to the front as she is trying to get out of there.
IMO, if someone intentionally walks in front of a car trying to drive away safely, your in the wrong and it shouldn’t even be considered manslaughter if you get run over.
Do ICE not use body cams?
Of course not. They drive around in unmarked vans and refuse to show ID, why would they wear body cams?
I'm so confused. The video clearly makes this less cold blooded and a tragedy of errors. Vehicles are weapons and driving away with people walking around your car who also have weapons is a recipe for this type of thing. There are whole conversations on this site about people saying they need more self defense because of this, but they should also recognize that if they were in this situation, they would've seen this as a defensible act to protect themselves. Politics aside, this is a good lesson around awareness when trying to protest something and antagonism. We literally watched extremists kill people with cars and are mad about this. If the person was a maga guy, the narrative would've been that he got what was coming to him for being dangerous.
Edit: I guess I get the confusion. A lot of projection and not a lot of literacy on the actual point in this post. So it goes. Things get worse when everyone hears what they want to hear and demonize anything that might not be hard lining. To the people that were being really irrationally angry, please stay safe when protesting and keep situational awareness up. ♥️
Fuck right off. He did absolutely nothing to stop the vehicle. The vehicle moved forward. He was unharmed.
He was not in any danger.
He walked towards her car and was close enough to see she wasn't armed. (Both of her hands are on the steering wheel and she doesn't have time to stop steering to grab a gun. And there's two men very, very near her car watching her every move.)
He went around the back of her car, possibly to see what bumper stickers she had on it. A tactic 'police' use to see what they are dealing with.
He then moved his phone from his right hand to his left so he could pull his gun out. You can see this hand swap in his own video.
He stood in front of a moving car. Which anyone of decent intelligence knows not to do. Christ, little kids are taught to stay out of the way of moving vehicles. AND law enforcement are trained not to do this.
The only reasons to do that are immense stupidity or to escalate the situation.
She was turning away from him as she drove away, relatively slowly. There was no wheel spinning. This wasn't an iraqi insurgent hell bent on blowing up a road block.
He pulled his gun instantly. He was itching to get his gun out.
He shot her in the face and head without hesitation. Why didn't he shoot the tyres, or engine? Why didn't he shoot her arms, or torso. Why aim for the head of an unarmed person?
The real question is why shoot at all?
Police aren't supposed to just execute bad guys that are trying to escape, so they are definitely not supposed to shoot at unarmed civilians that are pulling out of their own driveway.
After he shot her he calls her a "fucking bitch".
There's no point in this that he's not fucking things up. He went out that day to murder someone.
Vehicles are weapons
No, they aren't. They can be used as a weapon, but they are not weapons. Fuck off with this shit.
driving away with people walking around your car who also have weapons is a recipe for this type of thing.
Are you suggesting that people should just open the door of their car for any armed thug? If she had been shot for driving away from a gang, would you be blaming her still? Obviously not. Fuck off with this shit
If the person was a maga guy, the narrative would’ve been that he got what was coming to him for being dangerous.
That's because MAGA is inherently stupid and violent. They get the blame for running people over because they frequently try to run people over. They aren't civilized, they're shit-throwing chimps.
See : James Alex Fields and Heather Heyer.
Quit making excuses for your fondness of boot-licking.
