Post it then for context.

It can’t be morally justified but nobody should be shocked when it gets legally justified. I’m as disgusted as anyone that ex-army people get hired as cops, and that policing itself is basically militarised, where if a person moves their hand slightly then they get killed. Nothing will change and I’m just going to enjoy the polarisation from outside the US. It’s not clear to me why ICE would randomly order a person from their car unless the person was blocking traffic or ICE vehicles. The shooting part I get, it’s America so I’m not surprised given that it happens all the time, but I can’t tell what happened prior to this killing. Unless there is a news article or video to add context and show was filmed prior to the videos we’ve seen so far, then I can’t say exactly what led to this.

MODERN CARS LOCK THEIR DOORS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN DRIVEN
My bad. My piece of shit Mazda 2 doesn’t lock the doors when driving, I have to reach and lock all 4 of them manually before I drive.

Partner or wife or whatever, but that woman was there too. She told ICE that they don’t change their license plates every morning, and the license plate would be the same when ICE/police catch up with them later. So what was that about? They seem to have a huge problem with ICE, I find it hard to believe that they weren’t activists. Show me the news articles that you’re reading, or any videos prior to the incident.

I don’t know. Was it reported that ICE was searching directly outside a school? I’m just going based off the video.

Don’t “dude” me.

This is the first I heard that she was dropping someone off but if that’s the case then why drop people off right on the ICE/police line? It seems like ICE had a problem with her position on the road from the beginning of the video and wanted to arrest her right away. She must have been blocking traffic or too close to where ICE was working, enough to arouse suspicion.

Pretty bold move to have all the doors locked and then erratically maneuver away. As a rule I never bring my car anywhere near a protest, no matter how benign it looks. Once I went to a political event and I parked a mile away just to be safe. Everyone else had eggs thrown at their parked cars but my car was safe lol. Paranoia is my default.
People who protest need to think what their exit plan is going to be. Are you going to comply with law enforcement or are you going to resist arrest? If you’re going to speed off in a huge SUV to resist arrest then are you sure you aren’t going to hit anyone? I thought that activist groups planned security procedures and generally accept that there’s going to be a few people arrested?
- Comment on GTA 6 may not yet be "content complete" and another release delay is possible, claims Jason Schreier 1 week ago:
Those of us who are older need to reconsider whether we care or not. I’m 35 and I realise that GTA is primarily about mass appeal. It wants to be the Forza Horizon, Flight Sim and Call Of Duty all in one. Teenagers are obsessed with it, along with Red Dead Redemption 2 and Assassin’s Creed. I don’t care much for open world games and I stay away from over-hyped games. The other day I was writing to a 16 year old on Xbox and I told him to check out Enter The Gungeon and Neon Abyss. One by one we shall reclaim these kids away from AAA disappointment 😁
- Comment on 007 First Light gets PC specifications released and that's a lot of RAM needed 1 week ago:
There are plenty of games that look great and run smoothly on game consoles. Xbox Series X does well for a system with only 2gb of system ram and 12gb gpu ram. Why bother with pc at this point. Sadly console prices are going to stay the same or go up but it’s not PC level increases.
- Comment on 007 First Light gets PC specifications released and that's a lot of RAM needed 1 week ago:
It’ll release on Xbox Series S though with only 2gb of system ram and 8gb (i think) of gpu ram. On Series X it’s not much better but it’ll run at 30 fps.
Halo Infinite and DOOM Eternal run at 60 fps on console so I think that minimum spec is just speculation.
- Comment on China calls for Maduro’s immediate release, accuses US of breaching international law 1 week ago:
Something like that will happen. The US is trying to ruin China’s oil imports - from Venezuela and Iran. China will need to show they are serious.

I’m glad I’m broke because I dont even have to think about it until it becomes a necessity. 8GB is enough for everyone :P
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I’ll stick with my 7 year old pc thanks. My friend in his 70s tried to buy a new PC but they didn’t have the parts here in New Zealand.
- Comment on China cracks down on calls for accountability over deadly Hong Kong blaze 1 month ago:
My flat mate from Hong Kong was sceptical about the arrests. It looked to me like they’re actually going to punish people but my flat mate is telling me it’s basically for show. Now i don’t know what to believe.
- Comment on Opium poppy farming hits 10-year high in war-torn Myanmar 1 month ago:
“The nation has long ranked among the world’s top opium poppy producers, claiming the top spot after a 2022 Taliban government crackdown crushed the trade in Afghanistan.”
About what I expected. The U.S. barely did anything about the problem and now the Taliban are stopping the opium and also putting addicts through religious drug programmes.
- Comment on Russia says battlefield success strengthening its hand in Ukraine talks 1 month ago:
There’s every chance it could end badly for russia - just imagine their war time economy transitioning to civilian economy even if they do “win” (whatever win means). That said, Ukraine has problems with not having enough infantry, so they can’t assault Russian territory and take back land, unless Russia recently advanced but had no time to fortify. A lot of people are drunk on Ukrainian propaganda and they may have to accept reality in the end.
