The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered βhighly trained.β
The problem isnβt "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted
The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is a nuanced issue. Have those people been enacting incredible harm prior to their change of heart? Have they been actively attacking or dismissing those who did know as doomers or hysterical? Because then the proper reaction is βwelcome friend, I think you have some apologies to make.β

It's not possible to reconcile with people who advocate for and support a system which is directly harming the rest of us.
At the very least they must recognize and acknowledge that what they supported has harmed people.

I do agree that we need to remember that we have a common enemy in all this.
The problem is that many centrists do not and will not recognize the things that brought us here.

Same story here.
The libs/centrists are very quick to call for a coalition and for compromise on THEIR terms. That isn't how this works.
If you want to be in a coalition, you need to compromise as well. Everyone involved needs to.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

Dude this is super simple stuff.
When you wrong someone else, just saying that you changed your mind isn't enough.
You apologize. You acknowledge what you did/said was wrong. You work to make amends.
If you do those things then you can be welcome with the rest of society, if not then you're not.

Donβt be fooled. Every justification for state violence will be depersonalized, amplified, and systemized until it is a permanent feature of governance. Abolish Ice. Reform the broken immigration system. Do not give the police state an inch.
-Steven Nekhaila chairman of the libertarian national committee.

And you're also wrong. No matter how much will there is, you cannot effectively conduct a genocide without heavy arms. Certainly not anywhere near the scale that we've seen l.

This may come as a surprise but you can't kill someone with a gun if you don't have bullets, or at least it's a lot harder.
Similarly, if Israeli jets have no bombs and Israeli tanks and artillery have no shells they are much harder to use to kill people.
So yeah, there was a stop genocide button

Iβve never heard of a βlaw enforcementβ agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And thatβs because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as youβll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
