I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.
Scum.

We’re supposed to believe that if he had Greenland he’d be a better ally to the EU when he already clearly doesn’t give a fuck about Russia trying to take chunks of Europe?
Trump: We need Greenland. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships.
Reporter: What would the justification be for a claim to Greenland?
Trump: The EU needs us to have it.

It’s crazy how so many in media stayed away from talking about Trump’s obvious mental and physical decline explicitly when some of us have been beating the drum about it for a few years relentlessly, but after a legacy outlet (WSJ) does a story now it’s suddenly ok to go there.
