Sorry, you'll need that on video from at least three angles.

You know, like the ones we have of your murderers.

"We executed two white American citizens 1300 miles from the southern border. The optics are horrible. Quick, make shit up."

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 163 points 5 days ago (3 children)

They're just trying to paint the protestors as feral animals. Just another attempt to dehumanize "the enemy".

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Dehumanizing people, totally not a thing that predates bloodshed ever. Just ignore every war ever, every genocide ever, every massacre ever…

They dehumanize themselves more and more each day.

they have to keep the soundbites for fox ongoing, since republicans have memories of goldfish.

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Probably didn't happen, but I approve if it did. Next time, go for the eyes.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Biting the hand that beats you.

What was that finger doing in or near a protesters mouth? And what was the agent doing to the protester at that the time? If you're unlawfully beating or kidnapping me and I have no other defense, you better believe biting is an option. Keep your hands to yourself and you won't have this problem.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 83 points 5 days ago

You know how I know this didn't happen? They didn't kill the person who allegedly did it.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago
[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 86 points 5 days ago

Protesters bit off a FINGER and that NURSE was a TERRORIST and that MOTHER was a TERRORIST!

-Republicans who Do Their Own Thinking!

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

My first question would be to ask why the agent's hand was in their face to begin with

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 69 points 5 days ago

Was it his trigger finger? Because at this point I think that's self-defense

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

ICE has killed 2 people out there recently. This is nothing

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 63 points 5 days ago

Oh, just like the "internal bleeding" (a bruise) that Renee Good's murderer had?

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago

Damn, I hope the protesters are alright. Putting poisonous scum in your mouth is bad for your health.

  • DHS, in a post on X, said the man "approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun" and that "officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted."
  • "Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots," the post continued.

Lies.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"defensive shots"

Translation: emptying an entire magazine into the now-unmoving, limp body of the innocent human being you and your baby-dick friends executed publicly with a single bullet to the head, because you were tired of him struggling whilst you were ruthlessly beating upon him.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They are really fragile, aren't they?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Brave men shooting nurses in the back of the head.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

The snowflakes

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Sure.

If I may quote my friend Wikipedia:

As in: show me the fucking evidence and I'll believe that a protester was assaulted badly enough for them to try and defend themselves.

Without evidence though, I'm not believing this further than I can throw ~~Der Führer~~ the president

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 50 points 5 days ago

No they didn’t…
…ask any jury…

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 43 points 5 days ago

They're not wearing gloves?

In this weather?

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 48 points 5 days ago

Based if true

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 44 points 5 days ago (1 children)

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X showing the officer’s bleeding finger alongside the severed portion preserved in a jar.

Bullshit. Why would they put it in a jar? Did the agents just have jars laying around? Because a medical professional wouldn't have put it in a jar.

Willing to bet that this is more AI-powered misinformation.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 11 points 5 days ago

Bit off fingers would be reattatched not put in a jar. These clowns do not think they have to try to make anything believable to us reality based folk.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago

Even if true, the title is straight up misleading bullshit.

'protesters' is plural, so you mean to tell me it took multiple protesters to bite off a single finger?

Why do I already smell some level of bullshit? 🤔

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 35 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Hight of - 2 and low of -10 (-19/-27 in C). Yeah that is glove weather.

Crazy we don't have 14 different videos of the event, just a photo I cannot even see because its on X.

Saw the pic, clearly AI. Are they just making shit up again? Hang these fuckers

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

If they’re not AI — and I suspect they are at least AI doctored because the anatomy is wrong — then it is absolutely not a bite wound. Everything they say, every statement they make, is a bald faced lie.

She also posted images of two individuals allegedly involved in the attack, though their roles and identities remain unclear.

I’ve seen cops do this at protests—they’ll grab a few random, odd-looking people just because they look scary, so they can post their mugshots the next day alongside their narrative of events. Then once the news cycle is over they’re released without charges.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 29 points 5 days ago

Why did an ICE agent put his finger in someone's mouth?

[–] breezeblock@lemmy.ca 26 points 5 days ago

I don’t believe you.

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 25 points 5 days ago
[–] rosefiend@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

They said this because they blew off a protesters finger.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Such utter bullshit. There's no way anyone who's seen the videos believe this. The person who shot him came up behind him and just executes him. This is such an utter bald-faced lie and the fact that apparently the independent is repeating in this disgusting matter is such an indictment of their integrity.

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

I’m not sure they’re referring to Alex Pretti.

Edit: Yeah they’re talking about two other people.

Hopefully it was his trigger finger

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I hope they keep it. Fascists don't deserve fingers.

[–] Darukhnarn@feddit.org 7 points 5 days ago

Fascists deserve one thing and one thing only: death.

Whatever goes in my mouth is fair game, biting is reflexive

Which ER did they go to? Hmmm.
