I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    What rings odd to me is that witnesses on the video are screaming “shame” and “what the fuck” instead of getting out of sight and calling ambulance ASAP. Odd priorities and highly dangerous behavior, given the situation, and speaks as a red flag that we may not know everything.

    But then again, maybe it’s a state of shock, or I don’t know something about America.

      The woman was shot in the head three times at point-blank range. There’s nothing an ambulance could’ve done.

      Red flag? Lmao

        Ambulance should be dispatched in all such cases regardless of severity, because, first, you never know the extent of damage, second, even in case of a fatality, a doctor must confirm death and direct the body for autopsy.

        Eventually, it was dispatched by ICE officials themselves, but in a way that thoroughly prevented any attempt to save the victim’s life. Citing the article:

        After the shooting, Callenson said a neighbor identifying himself as a doctor asked if he could render aid to the woman who shot but was told by ICE agents to stand back. She said emergency responders’ vehicles couldn’t get past ICE vehicles, so firefighters and other first responders had to walk to the injured woman.

        So, they basically made all they legally could (they MUST call ambulance) to ensure she dies anyway. This was possibly preventable.

        It is not true that nothing can be done about getting shot point blank in the head. You never know. Never assume unless you can see for yourself.

      When someone gets shot in the head from close range, an ambulance isn’t going to help much. Also, this wasn’t an active shooter that requires bystanders to run. We’re supposed to be able to trust law enforcement to not shoot unarmed civilians. I’m not judging what these people said because they were in shock after witnessing a murder.

      and speaks as a red flag that we may not know everything.

      clearly it must have been a psyop since it made ICE look bad.

        Not it was not, but it’s weird, and I try to spot oddities whether they confirm my beliefs or not.

        To be clear - anyone who still didn’t leave work as ICE agent is a thorough motherfucker with zero compassion waiting for a guillotine.
