New footage shows the victim was trying to stand in between ICE and a woman the agent pushed.
They then get pepper sprayed.
@DustyBama @ryangrim 20/xx
Once they are on the ground the agent continues to pepper spray them.
As they are coughing and blinded, an agent GRABS the man and drags him back into conflict.
@DustyBama @ryangrim 21/xx
They wrestle the man to the ground.
The shooter has ALREADY drawn his lethal firearm at 00:59.
He is standing ON THE SAME SIDE as the gray jacket officer and SEES the officer take the gun.
@DustyBama @ryangrim 22/xx
Then as the victim is dragged to his knees, coughing and *rubbing his eyes* the shooter walks around to the other side and shoots him IN THE HEAD.
He knew he was disarmed.
They started this fight.
They dragged him into this fight.
Then they executed him.
@DustyBama @ryangrim 23/xx
Another new video angle shows clearly the officer walking away with the man’s gun *before* the shooting,
This clearer footage leaves no question.
(Thanks @The_cuZi for flagging this one)

Another video with audio.
A confused agent searches the body and one asks “where’s the gun??” he turns to the officer in the gray jacket and says “you got the gun?”
They KNEW he hadn’t drawn or reached for a gun.
They KNEW which agent had the gun.
The agent searching seems to assume his colleague must have seen another firearm or something, to have shot.
He seems baffled and confused at the lack of a second gun.
Just like the officer in the gray jacket had turned around confused when shots were fired, the other agents cannot figure out why their colleague shot this man!
Trump has ERODED the US' global footprint in a way that will likely shape the world for the next century:
-Ending US aide
-Failing to stand up for Ukraine
-Violating sovereignty in Venezuela
-Weak statements on Taiwan
-Folding on Iran
-Having China push Iran to the table
-Ending US development investment in Africa and Latin America
-Trade wars with South East Asia
-Pushing Canada and the EU into deeper trade relations with China
These have all rapidly diminished the US global sphere of influence, to the smallest its EVER been in the modern era.
2/10
The US spent a century building a sphere of influence that was broad and unchallenged.
It triumphed through cultural export that came on the backs of economic development and unwavering defense agreements.
America was a country you could trust, and it's help was of value.
4/10
Under that doctrine, the US had it's peak global influence around the 2000s, especially as this aligned with EU peak influence and the EU was an unwavering US ally against the China-Russia axis.
Some Pakistani sources close to the negotiations think the current Iran trips are part of plan to *TRICK* American negotiators into a bias peace deal.
Aimed at *appearing* to appease the US until AFTER the midterms, and then continuing a hardline agenda.
2/7
* Multiple sources have told me that Iran’s discussion of any potential concessions are oddly fixated on the first 8-12 months.
* One source said they’ve been told that’s because Iran believes after the mid-terms Trump will be a “lame duck” not authorized for aggression
3/7
* The trips to Oman and Russia seem to be focused on having allies implement short term programs, that “take 6-8 months to implement” and have the “appearance of concessions”
* For Oman this would mean a “joint responsibility” in the Strait in a “transition phase”
And 7 others had JPL connections via NASA/JPL, Los Almos or MIT partnerships…

One concern, just like with the CIA overseas deaths, was if Trump had sold off classified information of top credentialed scientists to foreign adversaries.
Because 11 JPL/NASA/Los Alamos top scientists had all died or disappeared under mysterious circumstances while working on alternative energy research.
This is a *VERY* weird overlap giving that story has been in the press the past few weeks.
* Bubiyan Island is home to Mubarak Al Kabeer Port, which frequently sees roll-on/roll-off ships used for connecting heavy equipment between Kuwait and other gulf countries.
* It also faces the shallow landing port side of Kharg island.
3/11
* The US has relocated forces from Kuwait to a makeshift base on the island, apparently containing munitions and satellite equipment.
* That base was suddenly struck on April 6th, likely with intel support from China or Russia.
My live fact check thread of the State of the Union, where I’ll fact check (and share any important announcements) until I crash out with rage…
God help me!
My soul feels like Kavanaugh’s face…

Trump enters, starts his speech to cheers of “USA, USA, USA” from MAGA.
With a noticeably sparse Dem side of Congress.
He claims America is “back” and richer than ever - which isn’t true.
The economy is notably on a decline.
3/
Trump calls this America’s golden age.
And claims he has solved most of the problems he has inherited… which is weird because he still is blaming the jobs report and market decline on the “Biden economy”
