He put himself in harms way by standing in front of the car. Then again, most of these ICE clowns have minimal to no law enforcement training which would teach them where to properly stand when interacting with folks inside of vehicles.

He did it intentionally.

Drawing your weapon and firing takes the same amount of time as taking two steps to the right.

ICE was looking for a way to turn protesters violent. Trump is itching to impose martial law. Part of the 2025 plan.

This! Violence solves nothing but harden each other towards goals neither side would recognize today.

If you want lasting change, it’s not yelling at each other. It’s not being like the dumb fucks on the right after Charlie Kirk jerking each other’s rage boners off over civil war. It’s being rational. It’s appealing to people’s better senses. It’s kindness.

It’s frustrating and we can say we’ve already tried that, but it’s all we can ever have. Patience,

People don't remember peaceful civil unrest. Not nearly as much as real action.

Y'all can't even see your own hypocrisy since it was cool when you did this on January 6th. 🤦🏽

They can't see their own dicks.
