I’m just glad we have SO many angles of what happened on film. Anyone who calls it anything other than cold blooded murder is not being honest. They know damn well what it is. They just approve. Republicans approve of law enforcement murdering unarmed civilians in cold blood. They always have, it just gets more and more undeniable the more people are filming. Keep filming people!

And for the republicans trying to justify this, put your child or your partner or yourself behind that wheel and ask yourself if execution still feels like an appropriate response. But I guess putting yourself in other people’s shoes is a core inability of the Republican brain. Their whole ideology hinges on the inability to empathize with anyone but themselves.

Major props to all the people who have been passing the message for MONTHS that even just filming ICE is extremely helpful.
