The problem with pointing out conservative hypocrisy is they don’t care that they’re hypocritical.

Pretty sure that top video is AI first being spread by one of trumps kids, so they are still just making shit up just so they can go “bu-but see, he wasnt a good dude, stop turning him into a hero”
Edit: BBC and CBS is reporting it as real, i still think its AI but good chance it isnt. If it is still dosent justify the killing days later, but repugs will still go “Ah-ha see! He deserved it!”

I’ve noticed this shit is getting spammed all over Facebook today.

~~That video is AI~~
Apparently it’s been confirmed as real. So it was premeditated murder then

Are we seriously comparing a REAL LIFE EVENT (jan 6th) to an AI video (Alex attacking ICE)?

This is misinformation disguised as a meme.

Seriously some people need media literacy training. That video was AI. It was fake. It is a lie. Spread by Trump’s own drugged up son.

Don’t spread an obvious AI misinformation helping MAGA justify the shooting.

Said this on another post about the video but I still don’t think this is anything but AI and here’s why:
As someone who works in VFX and film, I can tell you one of the biggest signs that a video might be AI-generated is the framing and camera behavior. AI systems learn by scraping existing video material from the internet, mostly stuff shot by humans with consumer cameras or phones. That means the training data overwhelmingly consists of tripod shots, handheld phone footage, or casual clips where the subject isn’t perfectly centered or smoothly tracked.
Real people on the street don’t shoot like a film crew. Most handheld footage is jerky, imprecise, and captured from imperfect angles, the camera operator reacts to the moment, not to a script. Think of someone filming a funny moment on TikTok: you’re not standing perfectly still, and your subject often shifts unpredictably. The footage is unstable, and the camera often lags behind the action.
In contrast, AI tends to produce footage that looks too “clean.” Because generative models exaggerate patterns they see in polished media, especially films: symmetric framing, steady tracking, and cinematic pans become default behaviors. This is especially true in scenes that resemble storytelling more than spontaneous documentation.
For example, in the footage you’re discussing, if the camera: • stays smoothly focused on the car instead of reacting to immediate motion, • frames the subject centrally, • and performs a precise pan to the right to capture another reaction,
…that looks more like a directorial choice than something you’d get from a truly spontaneous bystander video. In real street footage, once someone kicks an object and moves out of the main action, most phone-holders would instinctively continue following the person, not stay glued to the car and then unroll a perfect horizontal pan. There would be visible jitter, imperfect timing, and shifting focus as the shooter reacts to the event.
In professional filmmaking, whether the Russo brothers or any other crew shots are designed and stabilized, with intentional framing that conveys information. In movie or VFX camera work, you see: • Smooth motion (like a steadycam or dolly), • Precision panning that tracks subjects deliberately, • And consistent focus and framing that keep all subjects readable to the audience.
Here’s the key point: real handheld footage is messy by nature. The camera operator is reacting, not directing. It’s jerky, off-center, and full of micro-adjustments as the person tries to capture something unexpected. By contrast, AI-generated video tends to smooth those idiosyncrasies away, favoring cleaner, more consistent motion that resembles edited content rather than real bystander documentation.
So when a clip feels “too cinematic” with stable framing and intentional tracking that’s a legitimate red flag that it might not be authentic street footage. Real events captured by people on the ground, especially in chaotic or spontaneous situations, almost never yield that level of photographic precision unless a professional crew was actually there.
Throw in the fact that the person in question is literally wearing the same exact outfit as before, that all the ICE agents are wearing the same outfit and look like they’re the same build and yeah this is AI

It’s an AI video trying to make it look like Alex kicked the car… STOP SPREADING IT.
IT IS A FAKE VIDEO.

They are doing the same thing, that they do to woman who get taped or murdered by a man… it’s plain ol victim blaming at its finest.. a desperate grasp. Unfortunately many will swallow it

Fist they kill the body, Then they kill the reputation! How may times have we seen this movie?

I’m half listening to CNN and they were like Alex Pretti had a gun during his protests and then saying “they are doing things that are unfamiliar to policing” and “What crime did Alex commit?”
Insanity.
Damaging federal property and versus attacking people.
MAGA annoys me that physical force against property is more pertinent than hurting human lives.
