  • I’m trying really hard to see how this could be anything else than a straight up execution. It’s hard to see any way that dude could be threatening the life of anyone here. He’s shot on his knees with his hands down looking away from the shooter (granted the footage we have here it’s kind of hard to tell just cause there’s so many people). There’s footage of him talking to the agents before just holding his phone to record and then they start shoving him. There’s also 8 bajillion agents beating the shit out of him right before. The woman’s footage from the other side of this will show a ton if she was recording.

    Anyways, I look forward to hearing how this heroic agent saved the lives of all his fellow warriors during this altercation. Hope the agent recovers from the assault safely and quickly in the hospital…

    Edit: few things, someone pointed out the agent in the grey coat disarms the victim and runs away with his weapon before he’s killed which I did not see at first.

    Also, second lady’s footage is now out and it doesn’t show anything different than a bunch of thugs beating the shit out of this guy and then killing him.


  • Maybe in this instance but don’t get confused, Kirk has said many times MLK is a bad person and what he did was terrible. There’s tons more if you just go looking but just for starters he said:

    “MLK was awful. OK? He’s not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn’t believe. Go research MLK, you should go research him.”

    When asked if it was true that when he was younger, he used to describe MLK as a hero and a civil rights icon, he responded simply:

    “That’s true, and I used to be wrong.”

    Regarding the Civil Rights Act that MLK famously pushed so hard for:

    “We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.”

    Again this is just a bit. Go digging and you’ll find much much more.






  • I mean okay but jumping down that person’s throat because you neglected to mention they were required to wear body cams by law but are instead just choosing not to is a bit much lol. I was thinking the exact same thing after reading your initial comment. They are required to wear them during these operations (especially after Chicago). I have no idea whether or not they are but they are supposed to.

    In either case I think it’s pretty obvious the public won’t see any footage of body cams any time soon






  • Yes. BUT there are certain ways a government can help its citizens (and itself in most cases) by allowing them to be self sufficient that has nothing to do with electric companies or monopolies at all. The subsidies for solar panels were a great example of this. Depending on your personal needs, you could generate enough power to take yourself off the grid, and the government invested in your panels by way of those subsidies. In many cases the extra electricity from the panels that you don’t use can go back into a grid to be used by someone else. Theoretically helping you and the government. There are, of course some issues with the system but speaking from experience it can absolutely work and work wonderfully.

    Unfortunately Trump (of course) has killed these subsidies so that will not be a thing as of new years 2026.
