@hart AI generated? Not the story, but the picture? If yes, then It's not helping to keep democracy.

@scyt @hart Thx, but it still looks generated. If this video is real, then why is it only here and not on every broadcast media?

I scrolled through the video to this frame. It's quick and you have to zoom in, but I see it.

There's a lot going on. A military sniper says the shooting started because ICE accidentally discharged the victims gun after they took it from him:

Maybe this is true?

@Phosphenes I'll be honest, as horrible and evil as ICE is, they're also bumbling fools, and I do find it statistically more likely that they caused this through their own careless incompetence. But the regime is not allowing that.

And because most people can tell that something went very wrong, they know the regime is lying, which will only engender rage.

@Phosphenes Never enrage gun nuts. They're already pretty unhinged to begin with. Just look at this gammon turn crimson. I mean, he's right, but "I'm packing ALL THE TIME -- AND I can't control my own temper, no matter how many chances I'm given to record a video that might depict me as emotionally balanced" is pretty disturbing. And these guys are COMMON. I know a lot of them myself.

Plenty of them are also working for ICE.

We the People brought this horror on ourselves.

It's not. The guy that took the gun walked away with it, the guy that had been next to him you his gun out of its holster, bent down and shot him at point blank range.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded

A moment-by-moment analysis of videos from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when shots were fired. The footage contradicts the federal government’s account of the fatal shooting.
