How do you look at this video and conclude it’s the protestors fault?

What dystopia do you live in where a shoving match, resulting in someone getting restrained, should turn into execution of the restrained person in broad daylight?

Looks like the citizen was disarmed by an agent, then executed by an agent, then a different agent emptied a clip into the corpse.

Related, six days ago. Since then, the FBI agent who indicated a civil rights investigation into the shooting of Renee Good was warranted, has resigned.

IANAA: what legal powers does the city/state have to expel ICE agents? Especially as they are operating in, at best, increasingly shady legality.

I always understood that the USA is built on a delicate balance of power between the federal and state governments. But here the federal government is sending thugs who, masked or unmasked, are brazenly killing people in bizzare circumstances. And the best the state can do is PTFO?

That's murder if so, not unfortunate

>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> "interesting new phenomenon" Pardon me, but summary executions in the United States taking place in broad daylight, with seeming impunity, is very much a new and novel phenomenon, and incredibly interesting to many of us. These are events of historic significance.

I hate to break it to you - but officers killing people in the US is not new.

> this video will likely be glad just instantly Again. Anyway, the video shows that we've unequivocally entered open-air brownshirt executions. This person was pinned to the ground by three people while another was just wailing against their head from above. Hard to tell what object they're using as a cudgel to their face. Then the subsequent mag dumping just to be extra sure they're dead. We really need that lady in…

And, as everyone knows, the typical punishment for resisting arrest is public execution.

In revolutionary France.
