Police have been killing Americans since at least the 1900s

  • Not on high res, widely distributed video. Not, immediately after that video, telling us we didn’t see what we saw.

    The game has changed.

  • What's new is that we have the deeds captured under multiple angles in full HD, and still around 30% of the country believes the victims were actually the aggressors and deserved to die. They're so indoctrinated that they're able to rationalize away their own eyes' evidence. And they feel comfortable enough in the current environment to try and gaslight you about it.

  • It very obviously was not self defense. People will always lie in these situations and claim self defense. But, driving near an ICE officer and saying mean things is not life threatening.

    Maybe ICE are more cowardly than we should expect, and maybe that's something you're okay with. That still doesn't make it self defense, though. No reasonable person would kill in those circumstances.

  • If you are referring to Renee Nicole Good, then the video evidence contradicts that entirely. I am not going to discuss that further, I am just pointing out that your assertion is not a known fact and much of ICE's narrative on that killing has been shown to be untrue or incomplete.
