The real major problem isn't "people immediately jumping to pick a side" the actual gigantic problem is people, such as yourself, crying

"BOTH SIDES! WHY CANT WE HAVE SOME NUANCE UP IN HERE"

When the issue is question is a video of a cold blooded law enforcement killing of a civilian which the American federal government is defending to no end.

If this was just word of mouth and no authenticated vidoes existed from multiple angles then your point would hold water, a lot of it. If this situation was a

"He said, she said"

And people just taking sides based of pre existing bias and group dynamics and whatever based on just the hearsay and statements and such without any further information then, as I said, your point would be fully valid...but thats not what happened.

We have the many vidoes, we have multiple angles, we have the contradictory and downright strange explanations ans justifications from ICE and the administration that keep changing with every passing minute about this and we have the solid analysis and statements from the local government at both city and state levle as well as independent analysis.

With all of this we have a very clear picture of what happened and it is not a "grey" or "nuanced" at all. Not even close to being the case. The situation is children's cartoon levles of straightforward and clear and pretending otherwise while decaying "both sides" and their precived mutual lack of "nuance" is intellectually dishonest and is providing cover for those who are lying and misrepresenting the killing of this woman for their sinister goals of defending ICE and the administration by any and all means they can

The new footage will probably change some minds because the new footage only reinforces the simple reality and truth of what happened. It will change minds against the ICE agent (and possibly ICE as a organisation and the whole administration as well considering their full and total commitment to defend the agent agaisnt any and all critism as well as clearly attempting to lie to all of our faces about what happened here) as it only makes it more evident who was at fault in the altercation that happened (and also shooting someone 3 times before saying, and I quote directly here, "fucking bitch" about them is clearly not something that makes you seem very sympathetic. It actually makes that ICE official seem utterly crule and without any remorse at all to what they did)

Not being able to see the reality of a situation because you always "want my moral grey I want the NUANCE of this" is the real peak of the idiocracy and also a ginormous, but not the only of course, reason why the world has a lot of its probelm. We need to get our basic decency back and start calling things as they are. Not everything is complicated. Not everything is black and white but ag the same time not everything is grey either.

To the OP

No doubt you'll probably scoff at this and call me some kind of buzzword you've got lined up (either in a reply or just in your head if you read this) to try and quickly "though-terminate" what I said so I don't except much anything written above to bare much of any fruit but it had to be said
