Watch all of it.

And notice at the end that Greg Bovino is right there.

It's not a rogue patrol, this is the operation as conducted under the direct supervision of senior DHS officials.

Trump has declared that he will be stealing $3 billion dollars worth of Venezuela's oil and will be keeping that money for himself in a private account separate from the US Treasury and Congressional budget.

This is what an emperor or dictator would do.

Trump and his gang are deconstructing America. This is their purposeful goal and an obvious one, if you look past the daily barrage of absurdity, indecency, corruption, wrongdoing, and abuses of power.

It is the story that must be conveyed to the citizenry.

Together, the administration’s pervasive and reflexive disdain for facts—what can literally be seen without dispute—and the reflex to taint a woman now dead, crystallize a new level of ugliness for an administration that shamelessly admits:

Violence is us.
They couldn’t care less about Renee Good’s killing
A disdain for facts and the reflex to taint a dead woman crystallize a new level of grotesqueness.

A cold-blooded murder was committed inside the United States by an agent of the United States federal government acting under the authority of Donald Trump.

ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.

Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.

We must never become numb to his cruelty.

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.
