> Can you see which way a vehicles wheels are pointed when you are standing right in front of it? You're moving the goalposts. You said she tried to murder him, she clearly did not. What the officer perceived is another matter.

No: a fascist is in the white house, is illegally deploying national guard troops to occupy Democratic cities, and his brownshirts are outright shooting peaceful citizens in the head while branding them terrorists. As per the article you are commenting on.

A State Guard is the obvious counter to a rogue executive branch when checks and balances have failed. Alternatively, at some point, people are going to start organizing actual defensive militias out of sheer necessity.

Got it. So it’s not “fascism” until its past the point of no return. Just like how the plane hasn’t crashed until it hits the ground, even if we’re 2000 feet off the ground and we were at 25000 feet 2 minutes ago. Thanks for the brilliant insight.

> This isn't a game anymore, this isn't playtime. What are you gonna do about it? The same thing is happening in Ukraine, and nobody is doing anything. There are no protests.

>"What are you gonna do about it?" Spare me. I have my non-negotiables for when action is needed. Do you?

My line is probably somewhere around “canceled elections”. And I’m okay with Palantir knowing that.

You're posting in a thread where a woman just got murdered by a federal officer and no more than 10 or so minutes after it occurred before the body was cold and even identified immediately leapt to call her a terrorist.

No shit the rules of the game have changed.

How about we prosecute all the criminals in this administration committing all the crimes? It shouldn't be surprising that people are more concerned about a US citizen being gunned down in the states than some Venezuelan fishermen.

From an outsider's perspective, the hypocrisy is what jumps out.

Every US regime behaves this way: gunboat diplomacy goes back to the days of the banana republics, it was the United Fruit Company then, and oil today.

Fact is the US is run by oligarchs.

Peace presidents from Nixon onwards are just fronts for corporate interests. JFK was probably the only sane president since Roosevelt.

Edit: replaced correct term with "peace presidents."

There is a zoomed in and slowed down video circulating that shows after the driver was told to exit the vehicle that they reversed the vehicle first and then placed the car into drive (when the LEO was directly in front of her car). The driver hit the accelerator hard enough that the tires spun before they finally gained traction and moved the vehicle forward towards the officer. The velocity in which the vehicle beg…

You do not back up if you plan to run someone over. You go forward right through them. The person in front of her vehicle moved himself there, as she was backing up, in violation of training/procedure. Qualified immunity doesn't protect you if you aren't actually doing your job, and your job is to follow training/procedure. Edit because throttled: They are trained/procedure dictates that they do not stand in front of…

Holy shit why didn't they play the middle video they legit murdered that girl and when they saw what happend they ran away. The gull, they are legit law enforcement running away from the problem they just created every dude back off instead of trying to help that lady after what happened. Edit: Context here because they are literally doing a pincer move on this lady's car all wearing masks and with at least 1 gun dra…

In regards to edit 2, she does not hit the cop. You can see him literally wait until she's out of reverse while hovering his hand on his sidearm, putting himself in the front of the car - so that ANY movement from her after leaving reverse would result in shooting her.

Watch the distant video she bumps him he fires. I'd argue his gun seems drawn before he's hit which would make me panic and gas it. Regardless though these thugs just shouldn't have been there, ultimately that would be saving lives.

Can you point to me the part where she was interfering with their enforcement and duties? Because she was literally letting them pass, they chose to get out of their car and make her their problem. If you believe 'enforcing valid laws' means deliberately antagonizing people so that you can shoot them then you're already far gone. You just believe the law is a post-hoc rationalization for murder by the state.
