The Republicans and members of the self-serving sinister Trumpf junta will audaciously keep blaming progressives, liberals, Democrats, and everyday Americans for getting killed by ICE thugs: bsky.app

From the link in #5...

... "Today, a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements," Lyons said in a statement on Friday. "Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation." ...

@#5 Oooh, an internal DoJ investigation.

So, likely no charges for lying under oath?

Good-for-nothing modern day Benedict Arnold US Army Lt General Michael Flynn (Ret) was prosecuted and convicted for lying to the FBI, a violation of 18 USC 1001.

"The lawyer also confronted the agent with text messages Exum sent to friends and family in the days after the incident in which he appeared to boast about his shooting skills."

"I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys," one of those messages said.

Boy is bragging on his shooting skills.
He landed five rounds, and he couldn't even fully neutralize the threat.
You can't make this stuff up.

I don't understand how people like Boaz don't seem to care that the cops will laugh about it and high-five each other after they shoot Boaz.
I really just don't get it.

... and, for the record, Ms Martinez is an American citizen, a pre-school teacher with a clean record. Apparently, not even a traffic ticket.

Remember the DR MAGAts like Jeff, Boaz, Shrimp and LeftHandTurds saying it's her fault for swerving into them?

Remember them being DUMB enough to believe the Trump Admin as always?

Then they repeated the same lie for the woman in Minnesota?

@#11 ... saying it's her fault for swerving into them? ...

You mean, when the body cam video seems to show the ICE agent turning the steering wheel to the left to crash into her car?

And then the ICE agents in the ICE vehicle saying, "Be advised, we've been struck! We've been struck!" one of the agents announces over the air."

When it looks like it waw actually the ICE vehicle that intentionally turned into Ms Martinez's vehicle.

I have a hunch your funeral will be quite the celebration. And not of your life.

"Remember the DR MAGAts like Jeff, Boaz, Shrimp and LeftHandTurds saying it's her fault"

They still say that.
