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

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

Exactly.
Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip · 39 pts · 223d
They dehumanize themselves more and more each day.

No doubt.

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

Protesters bit off a FINGER and that NURSE was a TERRORIST and that MOTHER was a TERRORIST!
-Republicans who Do Their Own Thinking!

You know how I know this didn't happen? They didn't kill the person who allegedly did it.
sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world · 71 pts · 223d
Was it his trigger finger? Because at this point I think that's self-defense
aramis87@fedia.io · 64 pts · 223d
Oh, just like the "internal bleeding" (a bruise) that Renee Good's murderer had?
resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 53 pts · 223d
Lies.

They are really fragile, aren't they?

Brave men shooting nurses in the back of the head.

"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.
ccunning@lemmy.world · 51 pts · 223d
No they didn’t…
…ask any jury…
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org · 49 pts · 223d
Based if true
over_clox@lemmy.world · 45 pts · 223d
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? 🤔
Chozo@fedia.io · 44 pts · 223d
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 pts · 222d
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.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 223d
They're not wearing gloves?
In this weather?
apftwb@lemmy.world · 35 pts · 222d
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.

AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world · 34 pts · 223d
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.
FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com · 33 pts · 223d
Good!
pageflight@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 223d
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?).
frongt@lemmy.zip · 30 pts · 223d
Why did an ICE agent put his finger in someone's mouth?
ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl · 28 pts · 222d
Saw the pic, clearly AI. Are they just making shit up again? Hang these fuckers
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 222d
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.
DCErik@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 222d
He got better...
Blackmist@feddit.uk · 27 pts · 221d
Sorry, you'll need that on video from at least three angles.
You know, like the ones we have of your murderers.
breezeblock@lemmy.ca · 26 pts · 223d
I don’t believe you.
sik0fewl@piefed.ca · 26 pts · 223d
Charlie, that really hurt!
mrslt@lemmy.world · 21 pts · 221d
Probably didn't happen, but I approve if it did. Next time, go for the eyes.
phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 221d
Biting the hand that beats you.
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 221d
Boo would 100% go to town on ICE.
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 221d
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.
Sharkticon@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 223d
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 · 15 pts · 223d
I’m not sure they’re referring to Alex Pretti.
Edit: Yeah they’re talking about two other people.
Sharkticon@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 223d
They're talking bullshit is what they're talking.
TheRealKuni@piefed.social · 11 pts · 223d
Well yes. But different bullshit.
Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 223d
Hopefully it was his trigger finger
aesthelete@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 221d
Me to DHS:
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 221d
My first question would be to ask why the agent's hand was in their face to begin with
DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 221d
"We executed two white American citizens 1300 miles from the southern border. The optics are horrible. Quick, make shit up."
frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io · 12 pts · 223d
Whatever goes in my mouth is fair game, biting is reflexive
HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 222d
I hope they keep it. Fascists don't deserve fingers.
Darukhnarn@feddit.org · 7 pts · 222d
Fascists deserve one thing and one thing only: death.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 222d
Well ...
Rhaedas@fedia.io · 11 pts · 223d
Which ER did they go to? Hmmm.
Sharkticon@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 223d
Bullshit
frunch@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 221d
ICE has killed 2 people out there recently. This is nothing
merdaverse@lemmy.zip · 10 pts · 221d
Damn, I hope the protesters are alright. Putting poisonous scum in your mouth is bad for your health.

MY FUCKING HERO
phoenixz@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 221d
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

rosefiend@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 221d
They said this because they blew off a protesters finger.
