Rule of law? Innocent people are being shot.

  Wile I don't think they deserved to loose their lives over it, calling them "innocent" is quite dishonest. They were at the very least intentionally being a nuisance and in most cases breaking actual laws in the process.

    So now being a nuisance is justification for summary extrajudicial executions?! If people on HN believe this then we’re toast.

      That is not at all the argument being made.

    > They were at the very least intentionally being a nuisance and in most cases breaking actual laws in the process Pretti was breaking zero laws. You’d have to do some prosecutorial voodoo to conjure up a misdemeanor. There is lawbreaking in that videos. But the felony-level stuff is all from folks in uniform. (Which, thankfully, they’ve started wearing.)

    Being a nuisance is not illegal. In the eyes of the law, someone being a nuisance is, indeed, innocent - and to say so is not dishonest.

    > calling them "innocent" is quite dishonest You're not actually arguing that American citizens shouldn't be able to film the cops are you? That would be pretty un-American.

        So then what crime or behavior warranted that behavior from ICE?

            Standing in the road? That's pathetic and absurd.
