    “We executed two white American citizens 1300 miles from the southern border. The optics are horrible. Quick, make shit up.”

    Sorry, you’ll need that on video from at least three angles.

    You know, like the ones we have of your murderers.

    Sure.

    If I may quote my friend Wikipedia: <citation needed>

    As in: show me the fucking evidence and I’ll believe that a protester was assaulted badly enough for them to try and defend themselves.

    Without evidence though, I’m not believing this further than I can throw Der Führer the president

    Probably didn’t happen, but I approve if it did. Next time, go for the eyes.

    My first question would be to ask why the agent’s hand was in their face to begin with

    They said this because they blew off a protesters finger.

    What was that finger doing in or near a protesters mouth? And what was the agent doing to the protester at that the time? If you’re unlawfully beating or kidnapping me and I have no other defense, you better believe biting is an option. Keep your hands to yourself and you won’t have this problem.

    Damn, I hope the protesters are alright. Putting poisonous scum in your mouth is bad for your health.

    You know how I know this didn’t happen? They didn’t kill the person who allegedly did it.

    They’re just trying to paint the protestors as feral animals. Just another attempt to dehumanize “the enemy”.
