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.

The time for zero tolerance passed, this is actively oppose a fascist takeover time. As soon as I’ve was weaponized or the troops were deployed against the population on US soil was when we all should have been freaking out and getting this trash out of office.

But you know what they say, best time was then, 2nd best is right now.

It's a world wide game. These world leaders are someone's puppets. Maybe not "someone" but an ideological entity, like a cancer growth.

World wide civil war.

We did that. Nazi Axis vs. Democratic Allies. The Allies won, and they will again.

Right... History is washed. And indoctrinated people still give their life for lies and false promises. No one has faith in themselves or genuine humanity.

I'm not trying to go back to what life was like post WW2 till now either. People shouldn't settle this time.

The Century of Self documentary is pretty good at examining how society has been manipulated since the 1930s.

2nd

AGREED. Way ahead of you. :)

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.

I agree but she survived.

Once again they demonstrate that if they come after you, your life is on the line, you got nothing to lose. Take that as you will.

From the Sun-Times story:

Parente said the video shows an agent turning a federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez.

Is this Lexington or Concord?
