Like, hey, this person is an agent of the state.

If you believe the killing is justified, he did it on behalf of the state.

If it's not, he did it as an individual.

We need to understand the difference.

That's why you learn the person's name.

That's why, because he was operating on behalf of the state.

And if he was, then he should be protected.

And if he wasn't, he needs to be held accountable.

Like that is how it works.

And like, there's no, like, no, you don't get to, that's not doxing when a federal official kills somebody in the street.

That's not what that means.

Yeah, look, I think it's broken through.

You know, it's been interesting watching the kinds of people that,

that try to defend Trump at every turn or find the intellectual way to not defend him while still managing to make sure they're doing their job of making this about the way the left is causing it in some fashion, how they've kind of run up against some weather in this.

And I do think if like, you're not in the kind of daily political battles about how we argue over all kinds of videos and images and seeing the opposite, like even those who want to be

like deferential to law enforcement.

When you watch this video, the Renee Good video, on top of all the other videos we're seeing, it's one thing for people who are maybe instinctively more defensive of law enforcement to defend police acting professionally,

But what ICE or Border Patrol, what they look like in these moments, they just look like a gang and they're scrambling and they're running up and they're pushing people.

They're not acting like police.

They're just not.
