    They’re just trying to paint the protestors as feral animals. Just another attempt to dehumanize “the enemy”.

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

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

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

    Oh, just like the “internal bleeding” (a bruise) that Renee Good’s murderer had?

    • 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.

      “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.

    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? 🤔

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      Yeah. And even if true, still not a crime that merits extrajudicial execution. And I don’t believe it until we see the body cam footage (oh, is there none?).
