    Gonna be real with you - I don’t believe that this was an aggravated assault per the FBI’s claim. My assumption is that border patrol/ICE straight up shot this guy because they wanted target practice. I will not change my mind until I see body cam footage of the ICE officer being actively assaulted to prove that they were actually defending themselves.

      Jon Stewart had a good point about this: We saw how brazen they lied about something captured in HD from like 8 different angles. Imagine how they lie when there’s no immediate evidence to contradict them.

      At this point it is completely reasonable to assume that the Fascist regime is lying until proven otherwise.

      Gonna be real with you - even if we get definitive proof this was an aggressor against an officer, it’s still self defense by the citizen at this juncture and I’ll take that opinion to any jury box in this country.

      Now everyone has seen how they lie. Good and Pretti are not one offs, le lies as they speak and courts pretend to believe them, as do politicians, the media, their cynical supporters. Their sheep believe of course.

      Most people have still trusted authority despite the visible rot spreading throughout our lives.

      Those people now must confront what we mostly already know, you cannot believe anything from law enforcement, not on their word alone.
