Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

The president is also signalling to his followers in and out of government what the party line on this horrific murder will be. That it's transparently false is almost beside the point. Indeed, publicly adopting the falsehood will fast become a loyalty test.
That he chooses the "me or your lying eyes?" approach, in the full knowledge that there are multiple videos out there, is a striking commentary on the nature of propaganda in the modern information environment.
Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

I have been to many crime scenes, protests, riots and police shootings in my career and I’ve never seen a cop in an actual heated situation filming with their phone. This guy wasn’t fearing for his life; he was filming content.
Nothing says being in fear for your life like having your phone out to get the content while your gun is still holstered.

A problem with current geopolitical analysis is how in its lack of attention to internal dynamics of great powers it does not take adequately into account how increasingly wild external projection of power by the US, Russia and China is driven by their growing domestic fragility

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.
This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

Also after murdering her, they not only did not render first aid for ten minutes, they drew guns on a bystander physician who went to see if she had a pulse.
Every single officer there failed to do their duty. As has DHS.
