A 23-year-old American was shot last March in South Padre Island. ICE’s involvement in the shooting was not disclosed until this week.
I have to wonder how many more murders ICE is covering up.

Rodney King being brutally assaulted by LAPD was also caught on film, and it also made huge waves nationwide. Two of those officers went to prison and Rodney King was awarded $4 million in damages
But how many other Black and Brown people have been murdered by cops with or without video and nothing happens? Too many to count is my guess.
Video doesn’t mean cops are charged. It just means there’s video that can mean nothing, and cops are ‘vindicated’ for murdering whomever they want.
No one’s claiming black and brown people aren’t disproportionately targeted by law enforcement. I’m saying the argument that “no one cares when it’s a brown person” is patently false, and that the government-sponsored murders that occur on video are the ones that elicit a strong reaction, regardless of skin color.
If ppl cared so much it wouldn’t keep happening. Its completely disingenuous to pretend that black/brown life isnt treated with short worth.
If it wasn’t Trump wouldn’t have been elected twice. Action dictates whether ppl actually give a damn and a few protests and riots within the 30+ ive been alive screams collectively America (specifically white America) doesnt care
Eric Garner caused riots George Floyd cause riots Trevon Martin caused riots
Lots of folks die and there is a lot of reaction. What more do you want?
How about it not happen at all? Obviously enough ppl dont care because it keeps happening.
