Everyone in America can name the last two people shot by ICE/BP. How many can name any of the ten people who were before them without looking it up?
The BP shoots Mexican kids across the border for fun, and they have been doing that constantly since they were formed. They don’t even bother making up his reasons for doing it because American courts don’t consider it to be a crime.
Bovino made ONE mistake: acting like those rules also applied to white people. And that’s why he got fired.
My argument is not that now suddenly white people in the US experience as much police brutality and arbitrariness as PoC in the US. It just seems the chances of white people surviving such encounters are dropping.
Idk man, given recent events this might not be true anymore.
