They're just trying to paint the protestors as feral animals. Just another attempt to dehumanize "the enemy".

[-] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago

Dehumanizing people, totally not a thing that predates bloodshed ever. Just ignore every war ever, every genocide ever, every massacre ever…

They dehumanize themselves more and more each day.

Protesters bit off a FINGER and that NURSE was a TERRORIST and that MOTHER was a TERRORIST!

  • DHS, in a post on X, said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" and that "officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."
  • "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the post continued.

Lies.

They are really fragile, aren't they?

Brave men shooting nurses in the back of the head.

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The snowflakes

Was it his trigger finger? Because at this point I think that's self-defense

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago

Oh, just like the "internal bleeding" (a bruise) that Renee Good's murderer had?

[-] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

She also posted images of two individuals allegedly involved in the attack, though their roles and identities remain unclear.

I’ve seen cops do this at protests—they’ll grab a few random, odd-looking people just because they look scary, so they can post their mugshots the next day alongside their narrative of events. Then once the news cycle is over they’re released without charges.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago

Why did an ICE agent put his finger in someone's mouth?

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

No they didn’t…
…ask any jury…

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 16 points 1 week ago

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X showing the officer’s bleeding finger alongside the severed portion preserved in a jar.

Bullshit. Why would they put it in a jar? Did the agents just have jars laying around? Because a medical professional wouldn't have put it in a jar.

Willing to bet that this is more AI-powered misinformation.

[-] breezeblock@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

I don’t believe you.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

They're not wearing gloves?

In this weather?

[-] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

Hopefully it was his trigger finger

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 week ago

Based if true

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Even if true, the title is straight up misleading bullshit.

'protesters' is plural, so you mean to tell me it took multiple protesters to bite off a single finger?

Why do I already smell some level of bullshit? 🤔

Whatever goes in my mouth is fair game, biting is reflexive

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Such utter bullshit. There's no way anyone who's seen the videos believe this. The person who shot him came up behind him and just executes him. This is such an utter bald-faced lie and the fact that apparently the independent is repeating in this disgusting matter is such an indictment of their integrity.

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’m not sure they’re referring to Alex Pretti.

Edit: Yeah they’re talking about two other people.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

They're talking bullshit is what they're talking.

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

Well yes. But different bullshit.

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 week ago
[-] pageflight@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah. And even if true, still not a crime that merits extrajudicial execution. And I don't believe it until we see the body cam footage (oh, is there none?).

[-] apftwb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hight of - 2 and low of -10 (-19/-27 in C). Yeah that is glove weather.

Crazy we don't have 14 different videos of the event, just a photo I cannot even see because its on X.

MY FUCKING HERO

Which ER did they go to? Hmmm.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I hope they keep it. Fascists don't deserve fingers.

[-] Darukhnarn@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Fascists deserve one thing and one thing only: death.

[-] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago
[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You know how I know this didn't happen? They didn't kill the person who allegedly did it.
