Yeah.... That's entirely fucked.

Guy wearing tac gear with a police branding on him, no badge in sight and covering their face like a common thug. Shoots unarmed woman in vehicle while she was trying to exit the situation in any way possible.

The only part of this that I'm thankful for is that her death was probably quick and relatively painless. Everything else about this screams hostile takeover.

I mean, that's not new, we've been seeing similar bullshit forever, brought to the spotlight previously by the BLM movement. They're just not discriminating against only POC. Now it's anyone who isn't them.

They're using the South Park, "They were coming right for us" defense. This is supposed to be a joke, not an actual defense.

They'll claim self defense like Shittenhouse but few people realize rule 1 of self defense. Don't put yourself in harm's way.

Even if he was in harm's way, he put himself there.

The full video shows her try to wave them past while she's trying to pull out into the lane and then they get out of their unmarked vehicle, with guns and masks, and one immediately approaches her vehicle and reaches inside to unlock and open the door.

That's a carjacking or a kidnapping and anyone in their right mind would try to pull away.

Blame the media for their conservative/racist leanings. I hadn't heard much if anything about other similar cases until this happened. And I sure hadn't seen a video of those incidents.

There's an undeniable racial component, yeah, but there's also the very real fact that those suffering past abuses were broadly in a different category from the majority of ordinary (white and white passing) American citizens, creating the illusion that they themselves were safe, or could choose to be safe by keeping their heads down.

As soon as the victim is in a position that you yourself could easily find yourself in (like dropping your kid off at school in a residential area), and you can imagine that you might make the same choices (like trying to leave a dangerous situation safely), your own safety is under direct threat.

A lot of people were sad, angry and outraged before, but now they're scared.

The outcry is still limited because the woman shot appears to be in a gay relationship (a lady declaring herself as her wife was on scene at the murder).

So most conservatives are still unable to empathize nor see this as 'one of their clan' at risk, even though it was a white person.

It'll take a MAGA-hat-wearing white guy being shot by ICE before they start to worry about the new SS.

Are they humanly capable of emotions, which would include crying?

Difference here is, this, they can manipulate into a reason to close the polls.
