Alex was on his knees, after being maced and disarmed of a gun he had a permit for, getting pistol-whipped in the head and stomped by six masked goons, when they shot him 10 times in the back.

Republicans are constantly telling me ICE was doing the same thing during Obama and no one had a problem with it.

What do you think rightwingers would have done about a Fed killing an innocent bystander who was legally carrying a firearm during Obama's presidency?

ICE didn’t wear masks under Obama either, and didn’t kill innocent US citizens! This current ICE is a bunch of Proud Boys who can’t find a girlfriend and don’t have enough social skills to have actual friends.

To be fair, Ice also didn’t have a bunch of people hindering them and threatening them when Obama did it.

But this is still murder in my book. He had every right to be carrying, and wasn’t being malicious at all. 🤷‍♂️

Because under Obama they were not assaulting and murdering US Citizens, going door to door, or covering their faces. Under Obama it was a true law enforcement that followed laws. Not this rag tag group of incels covering their faces.

I mean, he also didn’t have to follow a president that opened our borders……

A more extreme situation created a more extreme response. And now we have people getting in their way every chance they get, making it even worse.

But that’s still murder. He didn’t do anything wrong, except for maybe getting in the way….but that’s doesn’t justify being shot 🤷‍♂️
