It is now plain to me that ICE agents pushed an ER nurse to the ground, sprayed him, relieved him of his (legally carried) firearm, then panicked and shot him to death. They then left, failing to secure the crime scene, which professional law officers would have done.
Before the video was seen, now-former ICE commander Greg Bovino and Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem had declared the nurse a terrorist bent on massacre.
They like cosplay dressup, like Bovino’s trenchcoat and Noem’s cowboy hats, but people are now dying in this game. Their defense amounts to telling us that any opposition is punishable by death.
If the Trump administration continues to ramp up pressure, it is inevitable that more killing will occur. It appears to me the administration wants this; it will provide an excuse to use the regular military on our own citizens, as President Trump apparently has been longing to do. The resulting chaos will then provide a rationale for declaring martial law, and suspending elections, which the GOP is poised to lose, big time. There are plenty of examples of this in history.
All that stands between us and constitutional overthrow are Republicans, who control all branches of national government. Maybe they will stand up for the Republic.
Don’t hold your breath.
