Parente said body camera footage called the account of federal prosecutors and Border Patrol into question, as it showed a Border Patrol agent saying to Martinez, “Do something, bitch” before pulling over and shooting her at least five times.

“We need a zero tolerance policy for lying by law enforcement,” said Jonathan Cohn, political director of Progressive Mass.

Stop the doublespeak!

The video didn't "betray DHS account", it confirmed that DHS murdered an unarmed woman by shooting her 5 times.

That's what we want, right? No! "Federal agents" going around doing drivebys on neighborhoods they don't like, forcing people over and shooting them in the face. Why? Because they're fucking racist nazis that don't think they're accountable to anyone.
