Is it the first video of American law enforcement shooting someone that triggered this reaction? This is from 8 years ago: [VIDEO] . Extreme violence has been normalized among American LEOs for a long time now. Look up "killology" for some more on this. If you're in US, check if your local PD or sheriff's office signed up its agents for a Dave Grossman seminar or training course; you might be unpleasantly surprised. And now that ICE job ads are essentially an open invitation to come be violent for a "righteous cause", it's exactly those types of people that end up there in even larger concentrations. But make no mistake, none of this is new in any way other than the sheer scale of it.
