Twenty-four seconds from car door to gunshot, and Castro spent the following weeks turning nine of them into a three-minute beating. He wasn’t defending himself; he was casting himself.
The video didn’t just contradict his story, it convicted his instinct to lie when he assumed no one was watching.
ICE doesn’t hire men who fear for their lives. It hires men who shoot first….punishment-first isn’t the malfunction, it’s the job description.
This chaos is not sustainable as a nation. This country feels like a powder keg placed near an open flame. The only light I see at the end of this tunnel is the fact that no one lives forever, and 47 has lived at least 80% of his natural life, maybe more.
Thanks for this report, Lisa. It helps to start the day on a positive note, even if the details leading up to the charges are maddening.❤️
I will celebrate the day that this ICE agent is found guilty of the crimes of which they are being charged- it is past time for the employees of this agency to be held accountable for their violent treatment of individuals whose crimes are for the most part that of trying to live a peaceful life away from the violence many suffered in their country of origin. And many of the people this agency rounded up and disappeared were taken as they were adhering to the law and appearing for mandatory meetings at courthouses. It is time to expose this agency for the lawlessness of the agents as well as the lies told to the media by not only the director of ICE but by our sitting president. Take out the trash that is this corrupt administration!
Great reporting as usual, Ms. Needham. Let's just hope that the diabolical $1.778B weaponization slush fund the man-child wants to create to reward J6 insurrectionists and other criminals is slapped down. Otherwise, I can just envision Christian Castro being paid from that fund for his "mistreatment" in this matter. With the shit show going on right now, ANYTHING is possible.
Thank you, county attorney Mary Moriarty for issuing a warrant for Castro's arrest and pursuing this case. Like the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles in 1991, video proved to be the damning evidence needed to expose Castro's corruption and lying.
Once again, Minneapolis shows the country how it's done. I am pulling for the city to with the Nobel Peace Prize...fingers crossed.
I read from a wide variety of sources and it seems to me that from all the crumbling and the rumbling that an avalanche is on its way. Seek shelter in whatever form that takes for you. The new landscape remains to be seen but one needs to be there to see it.
Even if he is convicted, I don't think it will dissuade these ICE fascists or any other LEO. He might get reassigned, he may have to pay a little coin. Yes finally there's an indictment, so that's something. We need to strip our entire policing strategy, be it local or federal, to the studs and start over.
The victims should file for compensation from the Trump Taxpayer-Funded Slush Fund. If this isn't a textbook case of Weaponization of the Government, what would be?

Only one criminal exalted by $177.6 … King Donald the Only.
Misbehaving before a camera, then trying to deny what that camera shows … truly Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Great content. I highly recommend reading the entire article.

Oh my—I love a Keystone Kops revival!
