Video of the incident in question [1]. This thread will likely be flag-killed instantly.

edit: Additional video [2] of the victim prior to the shooting. They were a lawful observer confronted by ICE due to observing and recording them.

Again.

Anyway, the video shows that we've unequivocally entered open-air brownshirt executions.

This person was pinned to the ground by three people while another was just wailing against their head from above. Hard to tell what object they're using as a cudgel to their face.

Then the subsequent mag dumping just to be extra sure they're dead.

We really need that lady in the back to release her video.

For anyone wondering why this is relevant to HackerNews:

- There are tech companies and workers in companies outside California,

- A government deploying a militarized police force to execute people in the streets is bad for the economy,

- That government is the United States, and so this is bad for the world economy,

- A lot of the people in our industry are immigrants from outside the United States,

- If you're a HackerNews user in the United States, you can be shot and killed just like this.

Another reason: individual liberty is and has been an important value in the tech community since the 1960s.

Has it? The original hacker movement surely had it, but is that still the tech community? I feel that since about 2012 the tech community has been money seekers — people who want to own the next AirBNB and Uber — and they don't care about individual liberty.
