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

    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

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

    Oh, just like the “internal bleeding” (a bruise) that Renee Good’s murderer had?

    • DHS, in a post on X, said the man “approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun” and that “officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted.”
    • “Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots,” the post continued.

    Lies.

    Even if true, the title is straight up misleading bullshit.

    ‘protesters’ is plural, so you mean to tell me it took multiple protesters to bite off a single finger?

    Why do I already smell some level of bullshit? 🤔

    DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared graphic photos on X showing the officer’s bleeding finger alongside the severed portion preserved in a jar.

    Bullshit. Why would they put it in a jar? Did the agents just have jars laying around? Because a medical professional wouldn’t have put it in a jar.

    Willing to bet that this is more AI-powered misinformation.

      Bit off fingers would be reattatched not put in a jar. These clowns do not think they have to try to make anything believable to us reality based folk.
