    IDK, I think most people were just as outraged about George Floyd.

    To me it’s important to raise the biggest possible stink about ICE goons actually killing someone, regardless of skin tone.

    And it’s not like we didn’t see this coming a mile away, and she’s probably not the last one to die by ICE goons, not to speak of the people who died in detention.

      I still have normal folks argue that if Floyd had just complied, it would have never been an issue. This despite the guilty conviction for murder, clearly indicating that the cop was the one in the wrong.

      People will always blame the victim, it’s easier for them to accept, because if they defend the victim, that means they could be one. People will always prefer the explanation that allows them to feel superior.
