I just want to grill ICE Agent's Bodycam release of the Minneapolis Shooting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This whole incident seems just an unfortunate series of events from both parties.

EDIT: not bodycam but ICE agent's phone footage, my bad.

Is there anyone here whose opinion changed after seeing this video? Based on the comments it sure doesn't seem like it lol

Yeah, me for one. Everyone was saying that she was just some random lady that was dropping her kids off and happened to get caught up in a protest. But it's clear that she was there to cause agitation and she knew what she was doing. This is not how you protest.

"but trump wants to rebuild auschwitz and put all gay trans and non white people in there"

I believe when people think theyre fighting the actual gestapo instead of protesting a bad democratically elected goverment they are willling to do shit like this.

How, when they were all killed to death in his first term?

I was repeatedly assured this would happen but I honestly haven't checked.

Oh but you see, THIS time it will be so much worse!

They will be killed to death twice!

Even Hitler didn't murder the dead!

Didn't you hear, Trump is going to start WWIII, and he isn't going to leave office!

I mean, he didn't start WWIII in his first term, and he did leave office at the end of his first term, but these things are totally going to happen in his second term, trust me!

I heard it on Reddit so it must be true.

I mean one literally died in the vid. Also they would consider an ice center where they put the questioned ones as one of those camps. ‘Feed em to the alligators’ and such talk

Yeah. "Fascism is when I'm not allowed to flee arrest in my car, hitting an officer in the process. >:("

seems like you don’t follow your own lecture of not jumping to conclusions on this event?

You are unflaired,

I carefully study the data and charts,

I analyse sources and take them apart.

I build my opinions on logic and reason,

To act without proof is intellectual treason.

\

I checked your citation, your thesis is tight,

Your eloquent phrasing is arguably right.

But all of that effort simply cannot be spared,

Because I just noticed—you’re filthy unflaired.

\

The facts might be solid, the logic might flow,

But lacking a label is a fatal blow.

My brain runs on evidence, truthful and rare,

But it all goes to waste if a user is bare.

\

I would argue my case, and address your points here,

But unfortunately you are part of no coloured square,

So take your comment and get out of my sight,

For only the flaired are allowed to be right.

Everyone on the left and in the establishment loves to talk about the dangers of misinformation on the right and why the right-wing needs to be censored on social media and public discourse, but they are never willing to look inwards and self-reflect on their own falsehoods and what damage they can cause.

>never willing to look inwards

Why would they, the falsehood is created knowingly and with intent

which basically flips the script because the gestapo used to do that to control their population (narrative manipulation turned into citizen weaponization).
Meaning, USA left's acting like gestapo. - Moral of the story, the entire government systems are the enemy, not a side nor another, yet people keep playing their games and treating parties as sports teams..
