He is the prissiest little bitch of a dictator imaginable
Trump: “Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti’s stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent.”

It’s like a million phrenologists screamed out, then suddenly silence
So I found out this is one of the ICE agents involved in this incident.

Apparently El Centro is one of the lowest elevation cities in the US (12-15 meters below sea level), so Bovino is not only a tiny man, he's usually one of the lowest elevated men in the country.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

But it's in your hemisphere Donald, I thought that meant its right in your backyard
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.
“It’s just too far away,” he said.

My D&D group has broken up as well based on one of the long term players going insanely right wing of late. So not completely this scenario but very similar.
My buddy's 15 year DnD group is imploding because a couple of the long time players are defending the ICE murders and everyone else is appalled. This is a red line for normal people in a "get the fuck out and never talk to me again" way. The evil and injustice is instantly recognizable.
