Trump isn’t a real conservative. I think we might be seeing some severe party shifts similar to the southern strategy. We indeed are living in upside down land.
A few conservatives are certainly starting to question things.
The gun rights people might start to catch on. The Admin shouldn’t have lied about this one.
There was a little bit of pushback in the RW sphere with Good, but I think this one is really going to take off. It checks too many boxes.
Right? The victim is exactly the hero they all believe themselves to be in their minds. An educated white guy, who spends his days caring for veterans, legally carrying is murdered by our government protecting an innocent white woman, and the government blatantly and obviously lies about it? It will break their brains.
Notice how the MAGA trolls/bots have completely disappeared since the latest series of videos came out. They can't reconcile the crystal clear video, the inconvenient fact set, etc. with the lies they wanted to push.

He is. There is no other explanation for the blatant abuse of federal power.
I can’t believe Americans, mostly our government, let it get this far. So many mistakes were made on this path, there were so many off ramps.

It also seems such a shooting had considerable potential to injure or kill another agent or bystander.
What I DO NOT buy is local LE being shut out and witnesses being taken to Whipple. They want cooperation from local LE? Then they should PROVIDE cooperation. I truly am beginning the think part of the plan is to create more hostility to local PD in the population. I have argued on reddit with people who are angry about the PD arresting the clergy protesters at the airport.
(s/o the Blooming PD chief has spoken, very articulately, about the real problem being the lack of immigration reform and laws that, even if ICE were to pack up and leave, mean people will continue to live in fear).
Please provide concrete evidence that local police are not cooperating with ice. And then please define what cooperation means. The state head of prisons held a press conference several days ago pushing back on ICE claims that they are not cooperating.

Who in their right mind would challenge law enforcement officers in that way? If what you're saying is true, she is the person who got this guy killed.

What do they things guns do?
Because I doubt he thought it would escalate to that point. He saw an ICE agent repeatedly shoving a woman to the ground and tried to intervene and help her up. The agent then pepper sprayed him at point blank range, he was tackled to the ground and beaten, disarmed, then shot multiple times. It unfolds very quickly, and was entirely unnecessary. They were bullying a woman, and they killed him for stepping in.
Was the woman resisting them and fighting back, to? Was she an illegal? Please tell the entire story.
There is no justification for repeatedly shoving her to the ground. She was not being violent. She was observing. She may have said something the agent didnt like and he shoves her to the ground like a schoolyard bully. You can watch the videos for yourself.
+1 and it doesn’t matter if she was an “illegal”
Of course it matters if she was illegal; she would have been eligible for arrest. That is my question.

So you don't believe in the right to protest? Just come out and say it and we can argue on that point rather than trying to blame the victims here.
So if the govt randomly changed the law so that your existence here is illegal or just pin something on you because they don't like you or people like you, you would want all of us to just stand by and let it happen right? Make sure you understand what you are really asking for here.
