The word is murder

After nothing happened the first time they shot people, on camera, I think this has become the new normal for Americans.

If Russia knew Americans were this passive, they'd have invaded ages ago.

It was already the norm. Just a different org

Face it, you're all too numb to be outraged.

One thing to remember is to actually accomplish anything, we would need to have a significant percentage across the whole country with organization and specific demands. The problem is that’s like organizing the entire European Union plus a bit to a cause. Not impossible, but monumental, especially with backwards outliers who actively want this.
There’s outrage. There’s been outrage for years. But there’s little path for it to be effective. A mosquito has little effect on an elephant. Especially when the mosquitoes are deliberately kept isolated.

We just don't want to go to jail for taking the objectively correct route.

Or get shot

Right. From one angle, it seems that Good's and Pretti's murders got more attention because they're white. From another angle, they got attention because they were white AND attempting to disrupt the ICE occupation* in the way that keyboard warriors always suggest. It's not conjecture to say that if we resist, we may be murdered.
*attempting to disrupt by filming the Nazis and standing in their way. I don't mean to suggest they posed any threat or even physical resistance. They did not.

If you win, there won't be a jail to be sent to.

They are testing to see how dead and tired we are. It’s time for the streets again with torches and pitchforks.
