If you can't make heads or tails of the videos, then how is it clear to you he wasn't merely filming?

The administration has already given its verdict, and that's all the "investigation" you're going to get.

Sounds like you made your side just fine.

The "head or tails" is currently whether one thinks those ICE gunmen should be on that block, with their uniform, and with their orders.

"Are you stoned, or are you stupid?"

The main group of politicians encouraging the destruction of law and order is the regime currently squatting in the White House, rejecting any sort of accountability for the revanchist militias they have sent to attack American civil society. And no, it doesn't matter that the wannabe tin-pot dictator gave them "law enforcement" badges as both they and their leadership clearly have no respect for the highest laws of the land.

If he "clearly" wasn't merely filming, what alse did he seem to be doing?

Good article on the front page of the Wall Street Journal with cleaned/stabilized versions of the videos, synchronized from multiple perspectives. Maybe check it out: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/videos-contradict-u-s-account-of...

Of course you're right to be suspicious. The Trump administration has already used AI-altered videos to bear false witness in at least one instance we know of, so it's a good idea to hunt down multiple sources. (That, incidentally, is one reason why it's so important for citizens to film ICE and other so-called "law enforcement" activities in the first place. Multiple sources need to exist.)

In this case, the footage is consistent and unequivocal: an execution-style killing took place in cold blood under color of law. But I'm sure that won't always be true.
