With law enforcement releasing little information about the death of Silverio Villegas González, one advocate said they "have to stitch this together ourselves."

According to ICE, two officers pulled Villegas González over, but he resisted arrest and attempted to flee the scene.

If I were going to get black bagged, deported to Africa, and sold into slavery, I also would flee from ICE.

Evading law enforcement doesn’t carry the death penalty. ICE aren’t judge and jury. This was murder.

Number of National Guard held responsible for Kent State shootings in 1970: still zero.

Tell that to all the people who died at the hands of the American police.

Best we can do is some compensation from local taxes.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Of course it doesn’t, and of course it was.

I think masked men attempting to abduct you is completely legal grounds for escape attmepts as well as self defense using lethal force. Why these "federal" people don't understand that common law and try to hide behind federal law (despite not having any uniform or markings) and masks, is an active practice of complete idiocy, I have suspended any concern for these individuals who try to mentally acrobat themselves into some weird white savior mentality to attempt to become part of this khakistocratic regimes ludicrous attemtps at 'gentle' ethnic cleansing - it must stop before it becomes full on ethnic cleansing. As a good samaritan any aid lent to a victim of abduction would be excused by any competent judge who would not like to find themselves in a similar situation being federally prosecuted because the federal govt leadership is full of morons. Exercise your rights citizens.

Why isn't MAGA freaking out about this form of political violence?! (Rhetorical)

Why keep posting rhetorical questions? (Rhetorical)

An officer without a bodycam should only be allowed to do inside work, and a cop who "forgot" to activate his bodycam should have no protective privileges at all.

Only way he will get justice is if the state fears the uproar to another killer cop left off more than they value maintaining law enforcement untouchability and how well they can spin this as an exception.

[–] DreamAccountant@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

But Pritzker said that the police would help, not hurt people.

Its almost as if the cops aren't going to do shit, in any way, to help people. Just like they have for decades or more.

"Now don't you throw bricks at those nazis kidnapping people, or we'll arrest you!"

Well I very much doubt justice will come through the proper legal channels. If it was me, and I was deeply affected by the murder of my family, then I'd take the matter in to my own hands.
I'm not saying he should, but that I would.
