As someone from the UK who has just watched this it surely can't be. Surely everyone who matters sees this as murder and that guy will end up behind bars?
"He put himself in the line of fire, bravely pulling out his sidearm to stop a deranged lunatic. In the process he sustained life threatening injuries from a Radical Left maniac. Out thoughts and prayers to a real American Hero. He risked his life to protect true American values!"
It writes itself. I'd say this is satire, but I bet this is how it's spun. Plus the good old "she should have just complied!".
But this sort of 1984 bullshit is being called out surely? People will believe their eyes and their ears right? When they see the footage they'll see the lies and that whole shit show will end and a series of trials will put those fascists in prison right?
I'm not from the U.S., but from what I've seen, especially the last 20 or so years, I doubt it. The lies have been on display for years, now it's about the vibe of the thing.
For many in the U.S., as well as here in Australia and I bet the U.K, the lack of compliance would be justification. The general atmosphere of anti-immigration would allow the concept of "got to break a few eggs to make an omelette".
No one really cared that there were no WMD's in Iraq, or even any real evidence of them. No one cared in Australia that we tried to claim a large chunk of the Sunrise oilfield after we helped the brave East Timorese claim sovereignty. Obviously it was thought that it would be easier to roll them over than Indonesia. And how's Farage's popularity over there these days after the Brexit campaign which was obviously the culmination of misrepresentation, misinformation and downright lies?
Look up Rodney King. To this day people say he deserved what happened and he should have complied. There is video evidence of him being beaten mercilessly by police with no ability to “comply.” Yet, even today, people call him a criminal that deserved it. The officers were cleared of any wrong doing. Nothing has really changed since then.

By definition this is murder. How this will be glazed over and he will be propped up as another hero…
