Why would you think that anyone outside of the US cares about what your regime does to you? I'm pointing out - for the umpteenth time - the sheer hypocrisy of the West, and especially the US. What your regime has been practising since 1945 outside of your borders has finally reached your own towns and cities, and frankly the only question I have is, what took so long?

I would expect humans to care about humans. Your judgment of hypocrisy is yours to own; you point out nothing but your own opinion. You left umpteenth behind a long time ago; you find hypocrisy everywhere, no?

Enjoy the outrage while it lasts.

Soon Americans being shot in the face by ICE and framed as terrorists will be as common and accepted as the President talking about invading Canada and Greenland, or launching billion dollar shitcoins, talking about his love letters to dictators, insulting soldiers who died in combat, violent riots overturning elections or openly mocking disabled people etc. etc. etc.

You'll see people in these comments who worked to normalise all those doing the same again.

There are at least 3 different videos from different angles. Here are all of them. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Gb_IkGVK7WvsTAXfMvQU... I've watched them all repeatedly. It's clear she was blocked in at the front, trying to pull out, and yielded, waving the ICE vehicles to go around front. They instead got out, needlessly attempted to drag her from her vehicle, and she freaked out and tried to GTFO by turn…

I wanted you to be wrong so much, but that's likely the most probable scenario.

Maybe 50 years from now "everyone will always have been against this", but even that's a stretch.

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.

Why is it okay that your mush-mouth dear leader can make all the accusations that they want in less than 10 minutes every time any incident like this happens? No consequences for that ever.

But those of us with functioning eyes cannot call a spade a spade?

> I don't care about anyone except my people.

I believe this to be the issue causing most issues discussed here. "My people" is fluid, and anyone redefined as "other" no longer requires empathy, and that's how we get here.

77 million voted for this.

I don't think all 77 million voted for ICE agents to murder citizens. There is quite a bit of buyer's remorse now.

https://www.reddit.com/r/UnderReportedNews/comments/1q6to5j/... HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics presentExtensively reported

The Washington Post quotes that,

> "“I’m a physician,” the man protested."

> "“I don’t care,” the officer replied,"
