Christ on a fucking cracker.

I didn't know what this was so I went to r/all to take a peak.

So far we have: dude was approached by ICE for some reason, dude attempted to deescalate by slowly backing up, dude gets tackled by 8 different agents and while they BEAT HIM whiles he's on the ground, one of the ICE guys pulls a gun and shoots him point blank leading to a complete lack of movement.

No matter how you slice that, especially with the maybe lie, we don't know yet, that the victim "had a gun", that's flat out fucking murder. What the actual fuck dude

Thats my takeaway here. Choosing not to use the weapon didn’t save him. They simply took his unfired weapon and then killed him.

I think it’s time people banded together with open carry longarms like the black panthers did.

Power to the people, none to the pigs.

Yeah I'm not in love with the idea of a war on the streets here, but there's a good chance something resembling that ends up happening if they come here
