I completely agree. It’s frightening that a government official (Noem) is already pushing a one-sided, matter-of-fact narrative so soon after such an obviously controversial incident. That is not the action of a competent, top-level leader. What’s frightening is they appear to be getting away with it.

I disagree. This is the action of a competent propagandist. Getting a narrative out as fast as possible before facts are known very often works.

This isn't the only shooting by ICE and if you look at the press releases for all those shootings it's exactly the same thing, "the protestor was violently trying to ram the ICE agents who bravely used self defense to shoot at the vehicle".

It has worked up until this shooting, and I imagine the reason it's not working as well here is there's too much video evidence to the contrary.
