And bodycams.

Greg Bovino's goons were ordered to wear bodycams in Chicago. But Jonathan Ross, with Bovino in MN, was not wearing one.

They have billions to create propaganda campaigns and buy new planes for Noem, but not to prioritize bodycams?

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

You did not see this kind of statement from the Turkish central bank before Erdogan staffed it with sycophants because he had carefully laid the groundwork to do so without resistance over the course of 15 or so years. And then once he did do it, inflation went from 10% to 86% in two years.

I'm a surgeon – and I've been shot. ICE denying Renee Good aid is inhumane.
I do not know if Renee Nicole Good could have been saved; no one can say with certainty. But she should have been given every possible chance.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
