It’s Not About Facts, It’s About Definitions

Or that we can’t tell what happened because we only have the video to go by:
“When the agent took the gun away, that happened before Pretti was shot,” Bash said. “Why was an unarmed man shot multiple times by law enforcement, by your Border Patrol agents?”

Bovino, who on Saturday had already concluded, without evidence, that Pretti “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” disputed Bash’s assertion that Pretti was disarmed.

“Dana, you don't know he was unarmed, I don't know he was unarmed, that's freeze-frame adjudication of a crime scene via a photo,” Bovino said.

“That's why we have investigators, that's why we have an investigation that is going to answer these questions: how many shots were fired, who fired shots, where were the guns located? All those questions are going to be answered.”

Bash didn’t let up, however, and directed Bovino’s attention to the video that appears to show Pretti being disarmed by a federal immigration officer.

“We're not going to adjudicate that here on TV in one freeze frame!” Bovino fired back.

Bash continued, first by correcting Bovino that a video was “not a freeze frame,” and second by asking that he watch the video in question again.

“We don't know that agent was taking any gun away!” Bovino insisted. “That could have been the agent's because we don't know that! The facts are going to come to light.”
Will the facts come to light? Will DHS let that happen?
No new funding.

Kristi Noem must RESIGN.

Greg Bovino must be FIRED.

Suspend the LAWLESS mass deportation raids nationwide NOW — ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous criminals.

Send the border patrol back to the border.

End the militarization of ICE + the sick racial profiling.

End the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel agenda.

Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of training before even setting foot in the field.

INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every single federal agent who is breaking the law.
Definitions I can get behind. "We don’ need no steenken facts to come to light!” Now, square this circle: By defining the term “Back the blue.” Cell phones are dangerous weapons. See?

Pretty clear no one in this Administration is interested in seeing the facts come to light.
Now get Blanche to define “humanely.” Hint: it’s not the same thing as “humanly.”
