I wasn't able to find any snapshots of that removed text, but it seems super plausible because they apparently had a reporter who happened to be on the scene before and when things went down
I'm guessing they told him that at the barrel of a gun, interesting that the optics of them refusing that doctor who wanted to do lifesaving care on Renee apparently got to them
But if this detail is confirmed I can't imagine how pissed off the cities are about to be
The first shot instantly made the victim go limp. You can't see most of his body, but arms and legs go limp immediately.
All the agents jump away, and multiple immediately fire multiple times each into the body anyways
They were fine with medical, because they were confident he was already dead at that point.
The video seems real enough, and is exactly as described. They're trying to incite a violent response so they can justify calling in the paratroopers who are on standby
If they think that a lack of justification is going to stop the fascists, they've got another think coming. Even if the response is completely non-violent, the fascists will just get tired of waiting and invent their own excuses, like they always do.
It won't stop them, but will make it easier to rally the broader public against the Nazis. Having more people siding against them is important
Yeah, I feel like they're going to go martial law in October no matter what, but in the meantime violence from protesters is just going to a) fracture the anti fascist coalition b) provoke retaliation from ICE that will hit bystanders
Things may get worse no matter what but violence is likely to make them worse
Paratroopers?
As fucked up as it is, I hope someone wants to see how resistant those parachutes are.
I can see this incompetent fuckwit administration telling Drinky Pete to send in the paratroopers because it would “look cool”.
Still, though. Harris didn’t support the working classes.
