I have an art degree.
You don't want me weighing in on what law enforcement should be doing.
sure i mean i don't know i i think this is difficult i think it's difficult to try to litigate and you know what we have right now is something that i think is the most fruitless um and unproductive exercise which is people re-watching this video over and over as though they're going to you know figure out who was at fault this is something that happened in a split second and i
you know, I just don't really feel qualified to weigh in.
I think that you're correct that there is no way that the officer whose name is eluding me right now, is it Jonathan Ross?
I think it's very, very unlikely he will be charged.
I think it's even less likely that he would be convicted of anything.
I fully expect that he will skate on this because
We give law enforcement enormous latitude to do things like this if they can plausibly argue that they thought their lives were in danger at the time.
And you can say, well, he shouldn't have thought that.
And you can say, well, she shouldn't have done this.
Or I mean, there's a lot of should, but then there is also what happened and we can't go back.
So I would prefer to try to understand that aspect of things.
Well, I mean, you're always going to have the camera pointed at the person who's acting in a way that you want to point a camera at.
That is, you know, I mean, that is the world we live in now.
And it's true of what's happening on the ground with ICE.
It's also true of, you know, accounts that surface outrage bait, like, you know, Libs of TikTok, for instance.
People, you know, people look at the thing that is doing something attention grabbing, and there's really no way around that.
Why else is it happening?
Obviously, you have people joining ICE for the same reasons that people often join law enforcement.
