    They said this because they blew off a protesters finger.

    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.

    My first question would be to ask why the agent’s hand was in their face to begin with

    Probably didn’t happen, but I approve if it did. Next time, go for the eyes.

    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.

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

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

    Sure.

    If I may quote my friend Wikipedia: <citation needed>

    As in: show me the fucking evidence and I’ll believe that a protester was assaulted badly enough for them to try and defend themselves.

    Without evidence though, I’m not believing this further than I can throw Der Führer the president

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

    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? 🤔

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