The video doesn’t show the killing. He points the camera away before shooting.

real It Could Happen Here vibes from the comments on Grim’s twitter.
Wild how some people apparently literally see her intentionally trying to run the agent over, they fully believe she was trying to hit him. It’s really unsettling.
We aren’t at the stage of fascism where they can sit back and openly say something like “the fuckin’ b*tch deserved it.” Right now - they still have to pretend they have a soul. So they grab at any information - no matter how nonsensical - that federal agents need to kill to protect themselves. I think many rightwingers don’t actually believe it but it’s an in-group lie that’s necessary now.
They’re building a fucking skyscraper of lies. I don’t think there is going to be a full commeupance for it, but it’s going to start working against them
They are over the moon with nazi glee, the only reason they bother pretending is duper’s delight from nazi-enabling “journalists” breathlessly parroting their sea of bullshit
This perspective just serves to push that narrative, being filmed from his point of view on a narrow phone camera. It looks like the car almost hit him because his arms are already over the fucken hood. They conveniently dont mention he somehow had time to draw his weapon, aim it, and fire in those few seconds the camera jumbles around. If you can do that without moving much then you were never close enough to get run over. Since as we saw killing her just made her car accelerate uncontrollably. Which would have run him over anyway had she been trying to.
Yeah. I haven’t seen any other angles of this shooting so I didn’t have many preconceptions (eg I assumed he already had his gun out) about what I was watching. Charitably I might believe she clipped him by accident, but I can’t wrap my head around interpreting even that as intentional. Not in good faith at least. I wonder if any of them are even posting in good faith.
I think watching that shit’s gonna have me feeling bleak all day. Fucking pig.
Here is a BlueSky with two videos of different angles. CW: State Execution
You can clearly see the :cop: was in no danger.
They are constantly fantasizing every single second of every single minute of every single hour of every single day about the day they’ll finally get to legally murder somebody, so when they see fellow scum living their dream they become their most zealous online defense attorneys
If you watched this one, it’s a rare case where id suggest watching one of the other angles. This one will directly skew or perception of the incident (which is why it was released by the right wing).
2nd angle is the clearest he could have easily stepped back. Car wasn’t even moving. This is awful. Evil. It won’t stop. I feel sick
They are trained to escalate and put themselves in a plausibly deniable situation to justify premeditated murder.
