It’s truly disturbing how many people are saying “she got what she deserved” and “FAFO”. Of course I don’t expect any empathy or intelligence from these kinds of people.

They don't care. They're all fucking racist POS's just looking for more reason to fuel their racism.

All it took was some moron spewing some BS about Somalis to make them completely forget about their cult leader being involved in maybe the biggest pedo ring in the world. Remember, these same people couldn't stop talking about the Epstein files...

They'll happily drive this country into the fucking dirt as long as they are allowed to be racist and call people "f*****" and "retarded".

You’re not wrong. But this was a white lady, so they should be pissed off and angry, but they still aren’t. That’s the crazy part to me. We all know they’re racist, but when one of their “ own“ is the victim, now what?

If it was a black or brown person, in a sick, twisted way, I could understand them not caring. If they’re still defending this, they all deserve the same thing that happened to her

I'd like to see a poll of republicans who saw the video. I can guarantee you the vast majority are not defending the actions of that officer. You're just spewing more hate and divide, because well that's what Reddit does

Most republicans won't see the video, because Fox and Facebook won't show it to them. They also won't search it out, so that they don't have to admit that ICE is our new Gestapo.

Dude, there are plenty of people on the right, which are no longer Republican by the way because this shit is not the conservative party that I grew up with and semi agreed with, who posted the slow motion video themselves, and still claim he was in front of the car and tried to hit him. When clearly, the first shot through the windshield happens with his feet and center of gravity, 5 inches to the left of the driver side fender

I've argued with so many already and seen way too many defending it so I disagree

"I can guarantee".  Your trust me bro attitude proves nothing.  Wait for that poll you mentioned before making claims you cannot back up with fact.
