I think it was a tragedy, but no more of a tragedy than the death of Ashley Babbit.
Ashley Babbit was breaking the law and was warned multiple times.
If you value your life, don't bring a gun to a protest and then procede obstruct a lawful arrest of an illegal immigrant
There was no illegal immigrant in the vicinity, and there was no obstruction of any arrest being made. Only human garbage can walk away from viewing the facts and still arrive at that conclusion.
then fight the police while refusing lawful orders
He wasn't fighting the police, he was simply recording the ICE thugs which is his legal right. The only time he didn't mind his own business was when he saw an innocent woman being assaulted by an ICE thug and he tried to help her up. He had his back to the agent but they sprayed them both and then proceeded to beat him on the ground.

ICE officers are not law enforcement they are paid thugs many of whom were pardoned by Trump during the failed Jan 6th insurrection but their jurisdiction is confined strictly to immigration related matters. They can't intervene with traffic violations or strip Americans of their rights just because they're fragile snowflakes who are on power trips, wearing masks and feeling like they have all the power in the world. This is why they escalate matters over the smallest of things, like someone saying something that offends them.
If you have a gun, you put your hands up and tell the officer that you have a gun
Actually no, the police are the ones who regularly ask people if they have a weapon on them because that is their policy. There is no obligation on his part to say anything, especially since he was not under arrest and had not committed any crime.
You don't fight the police and expect to come out unscathed.
So in your world, bending down and covering up as a half dozen rednecks beat on you is what you call "fighting the police?" Yeah, you're just as dumb and disgusting as you ever were.
Obstructing arrests and border enforcement is not peaceful protest.
There was no obstruction, and and repeating Brietbart's lies won't make them true.
It's a crime. It's against the law.
Literally everything these ICE thugs are doing is against the law. That's why they wear masks, because they know that once Trump is out of office they're all going to jail. So please, stop pretending you care about the law. Republicans have no principles and stand for nothing other than fearmongering about the Left. Second amendment? That's only for protesters like Kyle Rittenhouse whom you deemed a hero.
Donald Trump said they were going to peacefully march at Congress.
They did "march" peacefully. And they they did what he told them to do, which was "fight like hell." And by the way, why did Trump remove the MAGS so the Jan 6th protesters could bring guns?
The Minneapolis mayor told ICE to get the F out of Minneapolis.
Yes, and they should because they are a lawless group of racist pricks like yourself who are murdering US citizens.
Democrat governors have spoken to give permission for protesters to fire on ICE agents. How is that not inciting an insurrection?
A question too stupid to even answer.
Actually, CBP was attending to arrest a suspected illegal immigrant across the street from where Alex was killed. The suspect had fled inside a building and the door had been locked. The operation was a couple hundred feet away from where Alex was filming, and he was not interfering with the operation at all.

The incident started when an agent inexplicably tried to knock a woman to the ground. There is no indication that the agent was trying to take her into custody. She managed to retain her footing and ran to the sidewalk and stopped. The agent then ran after and, again, violently knocked her to the ground. Alex bent down to help her up. As far as I can tell, there were no verbal instructions given to Alex. Even if there were, he was given no chance to comply. There is no evidence that Alex was disobeying commands or interfering with an arrest or detainment.

Alex was immediately gang tackled by several agents and sprayed in the face with pepper spray. At that point, he presented no physical danger whatsoever. Agents found a gun in a holster or in his waistband (not sure which) and took it. There’s was no justification for using deadly force.

Ajax is simply parroting made up “facts.”

ETA CBP even lied about their suspect, saying he was a dangerous criminal. Either the city or the state posted a correction stating that they had no record of the suspect being charged with a crime. He did have a couple of 10 year old traffic violations.

The only evidence we have for this so called sting operation is by the DHS, the same organization that told us Pretti was physically assaulting ICE officers, "brandishing" a gun, was only shot in "self defense," and that Rachel Good had completely run over an ICE agent who was fighting for his life in the hospital.

I just don't think there is any good reason to believe anything these clowns say anymore.

And if you're in a group of nearly a dozen ICE officers trying to arrest an illegal immigrant around the corner, then why waste time pepper spraying and assaulting US citizens on the street for simply filming you? Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

Roid rage. I believe the media verified that a suspect had taken refuge in the building. Without that, I wouldn’t believe it either.

Seriously, I think they were embarrassed and pissed off that they didn’t get their man and took it out on protesters.
