Retired ICE agent breaks down deadly Minneapolis shooting YouTube video by CBS Evening News

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTubeβ€”and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

The government won’t achieve β€˜decency’ over β€˜division’ by trying to be Reform Lite YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power

Oh, apparently they came back with a misdemenour charge which doesn't need a Grand Jury indictment.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
