The GOP administration has arrested a reporter for reporting, yet refuses to release the names of the masked agents who murdered a citizen in the street.
This is America under the GOP/Trump regime.
The Constitution is a meaningless scrap of paper.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If you’re keeping score in the political realignment, Democrats have now claimed:
> The 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments
> The flag
> Reagan, MLK, and Lincoln
> The American Revolution
> The Constitution itself
Republicans are left with:
> Trump
> Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex ring
> CBS

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

He brandished a phone.
He was a LEGAL gun owner. They disarmed him, officially rendering him "defenseless."
After pistol-whipping him in the head they emptied multiple rounds into him.
THIS IS STRAIGHT UP MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. Why is there statewide manhunt for these murderers?

Holy shit.
He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.
His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.
He never had his hand on a weapon.
Cold blooded murder.

They see all of our rights as conditional. We’ve been told individuals have a fundamental right to bear firearms. Now, when someone is executed by government agents, we’re told the mere presence of the firearm was an intent to massacre and a justification for his murder.
DHS (once again) announces conclusion (within 3 hours) without any investigation.
- Conclusion about federal agent's intent
- Conclusion about individual's intent
- Implicit conclusion about timing of disarming the individual and shooting him
