Too many people recorded the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti for them to control the narrative, but all that happened was that one guy got demoted.
Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?

They can’t risk it. Too many people could record it so they couldn’t control the narrative.

It is building political pressure against them, they’re very clearly uncomfy within the administration. It may not directly fix all our fucked up shit but the admin blinked for the first time this cycle when it was looking increasingly likely that they had no limit and we were headed straight for a police state

It’s not over yet. I choose to believe this is the turning point.

Do you think they care? Dude they’re shooting unarmed women in the face in broad daylight in front of thousands of witnesses and on video.
And just imagine, the heartless coward that did it isn’t facing charges and gets to lie down in his own bed every night and walk up the next day.

Civil wars require 2 sides capable of taking power.

IIRC they moved Ross out of state. So yes, he’s not in jail but he’s not exactly lounging at home either.

Based on the reaction to all of this, it’s kinda clear they do not give a shit. So we’ll see how the all plays out.

Hard disagree. Their base will believe anything.
If we set up gas chambers in Florida some people would be insisting they were harmless showers while they were being forced into them.
