At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

The fact that they immediately started pushing a narrative about her motivations is enough to know that everything out of their mouths is in bad faith.

That’s not how any proper law enforcement agency handles something like this.

    The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

    I've had more dangerous encounters with Tesla drivers in a Whole Foods parking lot.

    Edit: Must have made this comment some time after hearing this song. Wasn't meant to be made without credit. Not the exact line but definitely similar to the opener.

    Not even sure though. Maybe it's just a common thought with all of us having to hear Nazis on Twitter pretending like the piece of shit had any real fear for his life.

    Anyway, song below.

    I swear to god I get menaced by assholes in cars every single day worse than this.

    Actually I didn't even make the connection but on my way back from protesting my local ICE facility last night (which you should all be doing by the way) dude tried to back up into me. I chose to just slowly move out of the way (and flip him off of course) but I guess according to DHS I should have started blasting instead?

    Would be better than that awful annoying hum. God I hate it. When the car is stopped but running it's the worst. Who decided that was a good sound?

    I think that’s the climate system running.

    Isn't it the "Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System"? It doesn't need to make that noise when not in motion, but Tesla does it anyways for some dumb reason. So obnoxious compared to the sounds that other EVs do when in motion.

    Ok. I didn't know that but you are probably right. I think it's only the Teslas that are just sitting still and doing that awful hum. I'm ok with the hum for a moving vehicle so I hear it coming. But, when one is just sitting still humming it's infuriating.

    Before that we had “INS”, and they weren’t militarized to nearly this level.

    I don’t know how old most folks on here are, but on 9/11 I was a sophomore in college in upstate NY. Our entire culture changed over night. The 90s were truly over and a new, dark, dystopian world began to emerge in a way that previously privileged folks in this country could feel viscerally.

    Some of my friends didn’t come back from the wars. Others did but they lost their souls along the way. Bin Laden could not have possibly been more successful in what he was trying to do.

    I was in a crib. I feel nostalgia for an era I never existed in. But the more I learn about our country’s real history, the more I realize that our governments hands were never clean, we were just more insulated from it

    A fascist dictatorship lying about their agenda and distorting the truth? Say it ain't so.

    If this guy was so traumatized by the idea of being run over he wouldn't be standing directly in front of a car.

    He was clearly standing next to the car when he shot Mrs. Good in the face, murdering her. He followed up calling her a "fucking bitch" which can only be considered an aggravating circumstance indicative of a potential hate crime.

    The government is protecting a murderer, and calling an innocent woman with no criminal history whatsoever a "terrorist".

    The entire executive body is telling you to don't believe your eyes.

    If only there were some balances...

    no fucking shit. its annoying the media does not point that out. They should be reporting on the obviously lies they get in response from the administrations lackeys.

    The Trump administration has normalized lying and major news media continues to "both sides" this in fear of getting left out of the official state sanctioned media events and harassed by regulatory and legal gaslighting from the federal government. They are also in a struggle with having to compete with social networks for news, social networks that are even far more subverted and manipulated by foreign and special interests.

    They have NEVER been trustworthy. Not once in my lifetime.

    Looks to me like they will kill you on the spot whether you defend yourself or not. If I were an American nowadays, I would be expecting that eventuality. It is about time the non fascist side recognizes the civil war you're already in.

    Since ICE is known to murder American citizens, if you see ICE and you are an American citizen, it would be reasonable to fear for your life. Would it then not be required to use all reasonable means to protect yourself from the imminent threat of death? Don't you Americans have some kind of self-defense laws about that?
