Considering ICE is executing people in the streets and were already breaking laws before this something little like free speech won’t help

'executing people in the streets' is such disingenuous phrasing. How about improperly trained ICE agents responding horrifically to stressful and dangerous altercations caused by citizens impeding lawful investigations?

  • Your causality is reversed.

    The dude was literally just standing there on a public sidewalk with his hands up. He never initiated the altercation or otherwise impeded any lawful investigation.

    The agent chose to initiate the altercation during which the victim was pepper sprayed, pinned to the ground by six people, disarmed, and then shot ten times.

      He was in the street the entire time and attempted to interpose himself between an officer and a woman that the officer was presumably intending to place under arrest.
