You know how I know this didn't happen? They didn't kill the person who allegedly did it.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Saw the pic, clearly AI. Are they just making shit up again? Hang these fuckers

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

If they’re not AI — and I suspect they are at least AI doctored because the anatomy is wrong — then it is absolutely not a bite wound. Everything they say, every statement they make, is a bald faced lie.

[–] DCErik@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

He got better...

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Hight of - 2 and low of -10 (-19/-27 in C). Yeah that is glove weather.

Crazy we don't have 14 different videos of the event, just a photo I cannot even see because its on X.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 7 hours ago

x cancel. com

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 90 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

They're just trying to paint the protestors as feral animals. Just another attempt to dehumanize "the enemy".

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 29 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They dehumanize themselves more and more each day.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 17 points 12 hours ago
[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Dehumanizing people, totally not a thing that predates bloodshed ever. Just ignore every war ever, every genocide ever, every massacre ever…

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 19 points 12 hours ago
[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 24 points 10 hours ago

They're not wearing gloves?

In this weather?

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I hope they keep it. Fascists don't deserve fingers.

[–] Darukhnarn@feddit.org 5 points 8 hours ago

Fascists deserve one thing and one thing only: death.

  • DHS, in a post on X, said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" and that "officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."
  • "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the post continued.

Lies.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They are really fragile, aren't they?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

Brave men shooting nurses in the back of the head.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 49 points 12 hours ago

Protesters bit off a FINGER and that NURSE was a TERRORIST and that MOTHER was a TERRORIST!

-Republicans who Do Their Own Thinking!

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 45 points 13 hours ago

Was it his trigger finger? Because at this point I think that's self-defense

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 42 points 13 hours ago

Oh, just like the "internal bleeding" (a bruise) that Renee Good's murderer had?

[–] breezeblock@lemmy.ca 22 points 12 hours ago

I don’t believe you.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 22 points 12 hours ago

Why did an ICE agent put his finger in someone's mouth?

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 35 points 13 hours ago

No they didn’t…
…ask any jury…

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X showing the officer’s bleeding finger alongside the severed portion preserved in a jar.

Bullshit. Why would they put it in a jar? Did the agents just have jars laying around? Because a medical professional wouldn't have put it in a jar.

Willing to bet that this is more AI-powered misinformation.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 4 points 7 hours ago

Bit off fingers would be reattatched not put in a jar. These clowns do not think they have to try to make anything believable to us reality based folk.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 23 points 12 hours ago

She also posted images of two individuals allegedly involved in the attack, though their roles and identities remain unclear.

I’ve seen cops do this at protests—they’ll grab a few random, odd-looking people just because they look scary, so they can post their mugshots the next day alongside their narrative of events. Then once the news cycle is over they’re released without charges.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 31 points 13 hours ago

Even if true, the title is straight up misleading bullshit.

'protesters' is plural, so you mean to tell me it took multiple protesters to bite off a single finger?

Why do I already smell some level of bullshit? 🤔

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 13 hours ago

Based if true

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 28 points 13 hours ago (1 children)
[–] pageflight@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago

Yeah. And even if true, still not a crime that merits extrajudicial execution. And I don't believe it until we see the body cam footage (oh, is there none?).

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 17 points 12 hours ago

Hopefully it was his trigger finger

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Such utter bullshit. There's no way anyone who's seen the videos believe this. The person who shot him came up behind him and just executes him. This is such an utter bald-faced lie and the fact that apparently the independent is repeating in this disgusting matter is such an indictment of their integrity.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 9 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I’m not sure they’re referring to Alex Pretti.

Edit: Yeah they’re talking about two other people.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They're talking bullshit is what they're talking.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 6 points 12 hours ago

Well yes. But different bullshit.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 9 points 11 hours ago

Whatever goes in my mouth is fair game, biting is reflexive

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 13 points 13 hours ago
[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 9 points 12 hours ago

Which ER did they go to? Hmmm.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 9 points 12 hours ago
