That appears to have been a pistol whipping prior to killing him while the victim was on the ground. See the video(s) from different angles now. See the fed agent killer shoot downward at the victim who was merely capturing video. Why was the crime scene tainted immediately by Feds moving ANY alledged weapons? The victim never reached for or brandished his legal weapon. It stayed holstered. Believe your own eyes. This appears to be a gross violation of all policing policies, an escalation which resulted in an extra-judicial execution. Reports are that 10 or more shots were fired by Feds. at a man exercising his legal rights. Reports are that the Feds are barring an investigation by State & local police. What is that? Feds saying they will investigate themselves?
What are they hiding? THE VIDDO ACCOUNT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. Believe your own eyes.
WTF is calling senators going to do? Will they write strongly worded letters?
Seriously?
Why do we need to be calling them; why aren't they screaming too?!!!!
Why aren't our congress members of BOTH chambers using every damn procedural motion to completely gum up everything and slowing stuff to an absolute crawl?
I feel your frustration, Robert Miller. I share it fully. It seems to me that we are leading them. Schumer just balked at pushing the budget through with ICE funding. In a way, though, the truth is that WE are the government. We are the power. Maybe they aren't so important after all. I agree with you that, by all rights, we should be demanding more. I shall join with you in this.
The app called “5 calls” is handy for contacting Senators, they have talking points on a number of issues and instructions on how to make sure your call gets properly logged, plus of course the phone numbers of your Reps and Sens. I’m not sure of the rules for dropping external links on Substack or I would link it here.
Many of us are calling. I call my each senator a separate call for each issue. 3-5 calls in one day per senator. Then I write emails for each issue separately 3-5 for each a day. Aside from participation in protests. Many others are doing this. My senators are for all this Trumpian nightmare. They don’t care what I write but I will not be silent. I will not go away.
Yes I am. And I am very angry too. I participate in every protest I can. I call & write Congress every week. Keep peacefully resisting. We vastly outnumber and will outlast the goons
The federal instinct to blame the dead person - I just can't fathom. If Capitol Police had treated the MAGA thugs on J6 like this ICU nurse was treated by ICE - imagine the outrage. I am sick I am mad I am confused I am horrified.
The outrageous and instantaneous lying is the point. That’s the message; there will be no justice, not now, not ever, as long as this cabal is in charge. They lie freely and indiscriminately and boldly as part of the message that we are trapped.
as Heather cox Richardson said, we the people are actually the last and strongest guardrail against tyranny, and evil. which are pretty much the same thing. he brandished his cell phone. they feared for their lives. while 7 of them were piling on him and pummeling into unconsciousness. they shot the VA medic. first thing cosplay barbie should do is suspend and investigate all these poorly trained brownshirts. when is self preservation going to take hold in these lizard brains.
What’s this nonsense that Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesotan leaders telling them to turn over their voter roles to her office in order to get ICE out of their state? Sounds like government sanctioned “extortion” to me!
My uncle (my dad's older brother) was killed in Auschwitz concentration camp at age 19. That was not so long ago and far away. I'm watching it happen again right in front of my eyes in the USA. 🥺😞💔 My dad predicted this about Trump - even from Trump 1 - he said everything was exactly like it was as Hitler was coming to power. He was right.
I want someone to explain why ICE agents are armed when assigned to Democratic-governed cities? At the border, literally, maybe there's a need. In the general community, there is little to no reason for them all to carry various weapons.
To inspire fear and provoke violence as an excuse to invoke the insurrection act to post armed guards in the vicinity of polling places in November. It has nothing to do with curbing crime, or even immigration.
Agreed, but it has to be sustained. One day per week, every week until this regime is done. When politicians don´t listen or act, we have to use our most powerful weapon ... our money!
Tax time is upon us. If you owe, instead of sending payment, send a letter stating as an act of civil disobedience you will not pay taxes until government stops funding and supporting ICE.
What will it take for AMERICANS TO STAND UP EN MASS? ALL CITYS. DENOUNCE. CALL YOUR SENATORS.
Robert:
Agree, but we need to be LOUD including rattling all Congress 🔵& red
I saw something being banged on his head. Awful

Don't write yourself off. Call. It'll have an effect on you even if it doesn't seem to move them.
I am not at all.
I am trying to point out the absurdity of it at this point.
It SHOULD be self-evident, extremely motivating, compulsory, and easy for every.single.politician to be behind and denouncing with their full chest.
Our eyes are not lying to us, neither are theirs. Just their mouths in many cases.

Masks are for cowards

Worked perfectly. EZ pezy

Kathleen, Good folks like you are the back bone of Democracy.
Call the governors to use Guard to protect citizens from ICE
WE FUCKING ARE STANDING UP EN MASSE, god damn are you not paying attention???
Yes I am. And I am very angry too. I participate in every protest I can. I call & write Congress every week. Keep peacefully resisting. We vastly outnumber and will outlast the goons
Even if they’re maga senators. Watch that video and call with all that emotion.
Mike Johnson 202-225-4000 call, call you’re probably have to leave a message cause he’s on vacation right now
Alex was an ICU nurse for the VA. He helped veterans.
https://youtu.be/tCa-rEeX9bg?si=y0Xc2YOZJZqJ6C5-
This is an Alex delivering the respectful send off to a Veteran who died that was shared by the Veteran’s son.
After the day we all had as this unfolded, this was cathartic. Thank you.
BTW they are not wearing a uniform. They have a military styled vest with patches that can be purchased anywhere and jeans on.

I watched many videos…Alex was executed by the Trump regime.

Yaay, Adam. You are so right!
CUT ICE FUNDING!
CUT ICE FUNDING!
CUT ICE FUNDING!
Every day it gets worse

I trust NOTHING that she does!
Bruno Hauptman said "if you give me money you can have your son back."
Many rapists say "if you stop fighting I will let you live."
Pam Bondi said, "if you give us your voter data we will stop killing your innocent civilians."
I will send this to Pam in a letter asking if she detects the pattern.

As a nurse, this hits hard.
Same
Me too. Especially at the Veterans Hospital. 🏥 🇺🇸
Following Feds is Not a crime
We need a, “We ride at dawn’ moment - a nationwide walkout, like Minneapolis did yesterday.
Agreed, but it has to be sustained. One day per week, every week until this regime is done. When politicians don´t listen or act, we have to use our most powerful weapon ... our money!
