9 people that we know of I am really afraid for the people in their concentration camps.
The world didn't know the extent of the atrocities during the holocaust until after the nazis were defeated and the Allies found the concentration camps
And nobody's coming to liberate ours.
Not yet. I feel the same was thought, said and felt about Germany back then too. But I can see it happening if it gets bad enough (like end of WW3 with most of the world against the US).
That would be a small silver lining, if the US government being so horrible brought the rest of the world together.
Oh it's bringing the world together alright, just not the way anyone was expecting.
O Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao, Bella Ciao Ciao Ciao
Friendly reminder 1800 People went to Alligator Alcatraz and just "disappeared".
That's a really good point. We don't have all their actions on camera. We can't account for everyone.
Not to mention those who've died after deportation. RIP to any potential innocents sent to cecot.
Oh, it's absolutely much more than 9.
It seems to me that those in power only cared when the white guy died.
It’s a matter of what gets caught on video
We all know and still remember the name George Floyd too! Shame these threads keep getting highjacked by people trying to stir racial division.
I'm not referring to the response of people like you and I, I do believe that the majority of white folks aren't racist, I'm referring to those in position of power, and even then I'm not even saying they are outright racist, but that they are certainly biased even if they are not aware of it.
Ah sorry - I must re-read these days before commenting. You did call out people in power.
Why do people like you keep pretending whether or not it was on video doesn't factor into it?
Renee Good was on video, we all saw it too. I was honestly surprised with the reaction to this latest murder, I expected the same reaction we saw with her murder.
Yes my point is that these two being on video got them a big reaction. Are you implying there wasn't a big reaction to Renee Good's murder?
From people like you and I, yes. But as recent as last week my dem representative was voting for more ICE funding like the bitch he is. He has all of a sudden seen the light after this last murder.
It's not the first time white Americans were shot for expressing opinions. This was 1970:
Never just include a picture without context. There are many people who won't know what this is, and you description doesn't really give them much to search for.
This is the Kent State shootings, where four student protesters were killed (and nine more wounded) by the national guard while protesting Vietnam war expansion.
Those in power didn't care even then, and they still don't. The only reason Bovino got fired was the optics. Not cause they killed a guy; because they got caught.
Verb should be murdered not killed.
My understanding is that Alex Pretti was murdered by CBP. Not to let ICE off the hook here, just to say let’s not let other Gestapo agencies get away with murder either.
Just call em all the Trump Troops, or TT for short. It doesn't really matter what agency someone belongs to, they're all the Temu version of Team Rocket grunts. It's the sequel to SS if you will
why did I know it was the Rooftop Koreans before even clicking it. probably because I still remember the RK riots.
Or black to do this, although you’re just called a Panther
Technically that's a leopard or jaguar. Panthers are the black variant of either of those species.
Did anyone else think this was an ice nine kills reference?
Come on, that's just murders widely known. I will safely bet half the life on the planet that this list is oh very not exhaustive
The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.
99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.
When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.
When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."
When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.
Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.
The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.
All this is a path to a police state.
In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.
Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.
That's the solution.
