- bigyabai 5mo agoICE aren't police.
- amazingamazing 5mo agoI’m sure the people killed appreciate the distinction.
- bigyabai 5mo agoIt's in the interest of their dignity and our safety to clarify it.
- _doctor_love 5mo agoMuch longer ago than that.
- sneak 5mo agoNot on high res, widely distributed video. Not, immediately after that video, telling us we didn’t see what we saw. The game has changed.
- amazingamazing 5mo agoThere are plenty of police killings fitting that criteria since 2020.
- thrance 5mo agoWhat's new is that we have the deeds captured under multiple angles in full HD, and still around 30% of the country believes the victims were actually the aggressors and deserved to die. They're so indoctrinated that they're able to rationalize away their own eyes' evidence. And they feel comfortable enough in the current environment to try and gaslight you about it.
- amazingamazing 5mo agoNo, this isn't new. Everything you’re saying happened with police killing too.
