She was shot AFTER she floored it in an attempt to ram the ICE officer, I highly doubt you even watched the video because if you did, you would've seen how her tires were slipping due to the ice, that's when the officer shot her. If it wasn't for the slippery road, that car would've collided with the officer head on, killing him.
Because I don't agree with you, you "highly doubt" that I've watched the video?
I posted one of them, have seen multiple angles of different footage including :
The posted cell phone footage of the "professional" federal agent. *which is more damning on multiple levels.
This ramping up of militarized presence on our streets is only further revealing what concentrated power
always does to people when unchecked.
The authors who wrote about dystopian futures (like Orwell's 1984) were observing and communicating lessons. Our founders knew what tyranny looked like, some of them doubted that everyday people would be able to hold that power in check. I suppose we are learning right now who was right about that.
*Also I'll clarify a couple of my political opinions that have changed drastically over the last 10 years
I thought Bernie Sanders and AOC were too left leaning, too radical and didn't support them (even though Bernie was also an independent)
I was deeply wrong regarding them both.
My right leaning views against regulation and for small government were fictions that I formally bought hook line and sinker.
2008 started my "awakening" and it has taken me until now to even begin to get it ---I'm a slow learner.
This is one of the reasons I had high hopes for decentralized currencies. Power into the hands of the people.
Power will always try to consolidate itself and then it will inevitably want more than more = Avarice-
There is a pattern.
When there is no counterweight to balance it---> you fill in the blank____________________________ but first take a real good look around the world right now.
People throughout history have thought their adjacency to the dominant culture protected them. It gives them a 'sense' of control, identity and place. That's an illusion.
All those things make it a well established tool.
The "in group" always shrinks. The "acceptable" guidelines always narrow. "There's a big club and you and I ain't in it".
