    He is a murderer.

    He is a murderer.

    He is a murderer.

    He murdered a woman in cold blood. Nothing else about his life matters. He murdered someone in front of their spouse. He murdered a child’s mother. We all watched it happen. Give him the chair with Noem and Trump alongside him.

    This is who, with Stephen Miller involved, we feared works for ICE. He has a friendly face in these pictures, but his regard for human life is rock bottom.

    I would not be surprised if he tells people he’s not a white supremacist, using his wife as evidence. That would not make him an opponent of race superiority, but a hypocrite. Which tracks with people who live a life with shitty values, trying to reconcile thoughts and beliefs that ultimately don’t stand up to reality.

    ‘You would never find a nicer, kinder person,’ the father added about his son. ‘He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn’t be more proud of him.’

    “Nice” and “kind” seem mutually exclusive with “committed, conservative Christian”

          I drive by a non-catholic christian church every day that has a giant digital sign out front of their building. Its a picture of a lady in a hijab and says, “Love they neighbor. No exception.” And id like to think that church has something figured out.

            We have one like that too and I sometimes want to stop in and ask them about all the bible passages where their god says the oposite. Because there are far more passages saying to do bad shit than to do good.

            Do these good churches igore these parts?

            “Respect me! I put my life on the line for you every day!”

            Meanwhile, being a cop isn’t even in the Top 10 of the most dangerous jobs. Some lists don’t even put it in the top 20. I’ve had two jobs that are always in the Top 5, and I’ve never gone around demanding respect because I had a dangerous job. In fact, I never even thought about the dangers, and didn’t know they were considered so dangerous until years later, and saw a list of dangerous jobs. Even if I knew, I would have kept doing the job.

            But cops want to remind literally EVERYBODY, literally every moment of the day. Fucking cowards.

      You have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” But I say to you, if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to her and shoot her in the face three times.

      and also with shooting a woman in the face for nudging you with her vehicle because you weren’t following policy about not standing in front of vehicles while she was trying to turn around in an extremely stressful situation.

        I got my mother to understand the situation when I aggressively asked her what she’d do if a bunch of people started running at her car, screaming and pointing guns at her, telling her she has two seconds to decide, so decide RIGHT NOW!

        She said she’d try to stop for the police, but I kept pushing her hard, asked if she was sure she’d hit the brake, or if she might hit the gas, and lurch a bit, and she said that might happen, and I said “BANG! BANG! You just got shot in the face. Did you deserve it?”

        She gets it now.

          Yeah, the shooter’s phone video is available now and imo pretty much shows this. There’s people walking around on all sides of her vehicle while she’s trying to turn around. The shooter circled it completely. That kind of thing makes it really hard to keep track of where everyone is at. She also clearly doesn’t point the wheels at him when she went forward but she did clip him (which if he was following policy wouldn’t have happened). She fucked up but it wasn’t a reason to shoot her. His actions are indefensible.

    JD Vance has a Indian wife and half-indian children. And he’s still pushing for racist acts, things that his own wife and kids would be affected by.

      There were an astounding number of immigrant citizens who came here “the right way” (which mostly involves marrying a citizen) and voted for Trump specifically because they see everyone else coming as “criminals”. They got in, and wanted to pull the ladder up from behind them.

      I wonder if they realize that ICE doesn’t care about their paperwork, they see some who is on the wrong side of the “Peter Griffin in a Fez” scale and just act. All of their papers, which they spent so long to get “the right way”, will be dismissed as forgeries and they will be expelled to some foreign country just like the “criminals” they thought they were punishing, because ICE doesn’t see the difference.

    Jonathan Ross should never have been put back on duty after his first incident. He fought in Iraq as he served for the Indiana National Guard and had a long, high stress, career for Border Patrol. He should have been recognized as needing PTSD therapy and a career change after his June incident. He didn’t have to be a murderer, he was set up to be one by his superiors at ICE.

    Not to absolve him of personal responsibility because he is a murderer. But I have to think it was known that he could do this and he was pushed to do it

              They were selling carpets you asshole. Saddam Hussein was terrible person but having the Americans come and destroy the country for generations was worse in every way. The US has no right to go there and destroy the country. No one wanted them to and they didn’t fucking help.

        Any combat veteran who went to “free” (invade) another country to defend US interests (this means to steal from other countries) may fit this bill.

        However, don’t forget that, for some poor people it’s the only door left open to survive in the US.

        Don’t forget that many were drafted and lied to.

          I’ll give you that for vietnam… but even those fellas aren’t around in any great numbers anymore. I’ll even grant the first gulf war as a neutral, seeing as kuwait was invaded, but the politics around everything involved doesn’t really leave any ‘good guys.’

          But anything since then? Fuck right off with that. My cousin went and joined up after 9/11, and it still is a mental fuck for him because he realized once he got there how idiotic the country was being to invade another with the idea of bringing freedom.

        Shot and killed a man in Chicago. Claimed he got dragged by the car but the video shows him running to keep up with the car so he could shoot the man driving. Very similar situation. A pattern, if you will.

              I couldn’t find any videos of the pursuit or anything, just body cam footage of afterwards and the agent indicating that he wasn’t as injured as DHS had claimed. The agent shot him in the back of the neck and killed him. Completely unjustified. He had lived in the US since he was 18. Undocumented but not a criminal, just dropped his kids off at school, worked as a line cook.
              A sane country would have provided a path to citizenship or deported him back to Mexico instead of shooting him in the streets. No reason to escalate to a point where the agent is in danger and felt compelled to kill someone. Just let him get away and catch him at home. Worst case is that you don’t and he continues to be a productive member of society and make food for people. Shit drives me nuts.
