Unless there is indisputable video of this exactly as the thugs claim I will not give them the benefit of the doubt. They are trained to outright lie about circumstances.

Well the officers will have to release they body cam footage right?.. wait they aren't officers, and they don't have body cams... And there will be no case for the investigation because they murdered them. Chicago's police are required to wear them, and are required to use them. The cameras are actually set to record the 30 seconds prior to them activating them to make sure the officers get everything recorded.

State prosecutors should just charge these ICE members with manslaughter to force the investigation to occur so they know their citizens aren't being killed without reason.

100% this is a lie until I see video. Anyone remember this one?

(not that there aren't countless other examples of police lies in these cases)

I liked the one where the cop was in the road not really directing traffic but tried pointing some car in a direction or something. The car was just driving by with plenty of room and the cop fully stuck his leg out in front of the car. Broke his leg and then lied saying the car purposefully ran into him. Pretty sure they were arrested before someone with a dashcam provided video of the incident showing what happened.
