Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

The agents were dropping F Bombs at the scene!!! "Get out of the fuckin' car!" "Fuckin' bitch!" Who was being inflammatory?? Cops are supposed to be cool under pressure, able to handle people saying things they don't like. That's what they're supposedly trained -- and paid -- to do.
More proof that traditional media is out of touch:
The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

(A) Bad
(B) a direct consequence of the decades long "global war on terror"
part--not most, but part--of the issue here is that u.s. law enforcement has heavily bought into the idea that it needs to dress and arm like it is fighting a running battle in swat valley rather than dealing with u.s. citizens in suburban neighborhoods
ICE++ the CBP, and judging from the patches — BORTAC.
BORTAC is a counterterrorism tactical unit of CBP.
Just shooting people

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
