That photograph is unbearable because it traps a man in the exact second before his murder. He is alive, kneeling, terrified, and fully aware that the next sound he hears will be the gunshot that ends him. The camera steals even that last mercy, forcing him to die forever, over and over, every time someone looks. He is not a symbol or a lesson, he is a human being caught at the instant the world decides he no longergets to exist.
If I was the one murdered and could be aware of this, I would be massively thankful that at least this moment was caught so clearly, that I didn’t die alone, that maybe it won’t be for nothing and people will see this and have a fire ignited within them to continue the fight.
So many people have been killed just like this before that we never saw and will never know about. The murderer has worked for Border Patrol for 8 years. I would be completely unsurprised to learn he had already murdered others.

Ice are nazis. Abolish ice.
He wouldn’t have heard the shot because bullets travel faster than sound.
I mean I assume you don’t die instantly so he might have heard it?
The irony of it is that, because of this, he will exist far longer than any of us will, but he shouldn’t have had to.

They’ve murdered a lot of people behind closed doors that’s why it’s so important to keep recording.
