Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Crazy in the bottom video labeled CNN, you can see him walk in front of the car AFTER it started moving.
Most people wouldn’t jump in front of a chef chopping with a knife then kill the chef for stabbing them. Idk why ICE thinks it’s a good idea to jump in front of a moving car.
So, that guy is just stupid. I assumed but thanks for verifying.
pre-trump, who knows if they've secretly changed the policies since then. But then again, the murderer was working for ICE when that policy was enacted.
Oh im sure they are encouraged to make situations.
Deliberate. A report by experts studied incidents from Jan 2010 to Oct 2012 and found US Border Patrol agents stepped in front of vehicles 67 times to justify shooting drivers. Results were 19 deaths.
Jonathan Ross worked for US Border Patrol from 2005 until 2015.

That's the point. This was a manufactured killing. By stepping front of the car, he can deploy the South Park Defense: "She was coming right at me!"
In her rationalization speech, The Puppy Killer mentioned how blocking ICE cars was an increasing strategy. What she didn't say was that it's been effective at slowing them down, and giving targets a longer head start to escape.
It's clearly pissing her off. Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller is demanding 3000 scalps per day, and they aren't even close. Shes probably getting her ass reamed by PeeWee every fucking day.
We're going to find out that orders came down to make an example out of one of the blockers, and this was the opportunity. This guy wasn't new and poorly trained, he was a veteran officer with a beef against fleeing vehicles (he'd been recently injured in a vehicle incident because he behaved poorly and impulsively in that incident, too). He was exactly the kind of trusted operative that you could give an order like that to, and know it will be followed.
Pakled Holman seemed surprised by this, so it probably wasn't him. The order almost certainly originated with The Puppy Killer, but she was probably told by PeeWee to do something decisive.
....so does this one.
It’s clear the only reason she backed up was to AVOID him. If she wanted him dead he would’ve been toast.
He's actually lucky she wasn't angled towards him because he chose that moment to make her slam on the gas.
Bellingcat does great work.
Jeez, you could do a VR recreation
