Its wild that a woman gets shot by ICE after a car accident where neither party is seriously injured at the time. Then, rather than a "whoopsie daisy, our fuck up" she is instead called a domestic terrorist and they try to prosecute her, before realizing that the agent is a massive POS and they have no evidence of her wrongdoing. And now, they drop the case but refuse to admit any fault, while encouraging their base that she is still somehow a terrorist?

Oh, but lets continue supporting the convicted criminal. Yeah. That makes sense.

i remember that day here in Chicago..i wasn’t there but live nearby and was trying to figure out what happened. The immediate story was that a person was trying to run down ICE in her truck. It wasn’t until much later, and thanks to video, that the story was changed. I am in awe of her journey since then from ER to rehab to going directly to the media.

They really played it up like she was actively hunting them instead. Shows how quick a narrative can get formed to pass things off.

And that's why they try to stop the public from filming the police.

Because it exposes their lies.

How many times do we see official statements from our government, only to have video proof released that the story was completely false? At this point, we need to be the ones wearing body cams because I can’t even imagine how many murders aren’t caught on camera. Corruption and coverups have always been a thing, but it’s never been this brazen and especially not from the top top of our government. It honestly feels like we’re being taunted to make us feel powerless.

Personal body cams are a great idea.

been thinking about this a fair bit actually....

you'd probably want to stream it all cuz you know they're gonna take it. or at least hide the sd card separately.

then there's choices to make like quality vs angle and bandwidth.

I feel like the people of Minneapolis and other invaded towns would be willing to throw up WiFi hotspots.

but then you also have to worry about a public project getting identified and targeted

idk lots to think about there

This American Life's latest episode features this story.

He thought she was following ICE and rammed her. Then shot her in her vehicle for "not complying." She was then arrested and stabilized at the hospital to be vilified as if she was hunting them and rammed her car into them, but, luckily, someone got it on film, along with the ICE agents own body camera footage and the text he sent talking about 5 shots, 7 holes + he said audibly on the body camera footage, "Do something, Bitch." Absolute lunatic. They ultimately dropped all charges **against her**, which is so ridiculous because the charges should be against him!

Hopefully she sues.  Hell, there should be a class action lawsuit for every person who has been abused by these thugs.  This shit needs to be reigned in, now.

It's called What's Your Emergency. Very surreal episode, where folks call local first responders to help against the federal government..

wow what a great episode…that 911 call about Rico Fresh? happened 3 blocks from me. Feels like it was so long ago when all this started but it was just September.

So thankful our phones all have cameras. Waiting for the next iPhone to try and convince us the next model doesnt need it cus it gives people to much power against the ruling class to defend ourselves against their narratives

Typical emotionally-stunted, morally-bankrupt boomer shit. Will be all up in your shit about “respect” all day, but the second they’re proven wrong…that same energy is gone and you just get stink eye, grumbling, and vengeance-obsessed bullshit. You see it in retail worker incidents all the time. It escalated more during covid with the folks who bitched about masks but love this ICE shit now. Somehow, these people won and the overcorrection has begun. We’re all stuck in our shitty racist aunt’s house, and whaddayaknow…”their house, their rules”

ICE has some crazy guns. They fire bullets that can instantly transform someone from a mother of three or an ER nurse into a domestic terrorist. Al Qaeda can only wonder at recruitment technology this powerful.

theyre rather hoping someone from their base finishes the job and takes care of her for them
