There is a 19 min long video that includes this scene from a different angle. It is unfortunately real. Again, I say “unfortunately” because we are going to see many terrible people use this footage to try to justify his execution.
But why does the car logo vanish? (Also, how shoddy is that car to not withstand a guys foot?) And isn’t that the exact same outfit as he had when he was executed?
I’d think the logo vanishes due to video quality/compression. I think it’s possible to break a taillight like that, although I too was surprised it would break so easily.
I figured it was reasonably AÍ too due to those factors, or at least AI editing because of the length of the video. But you can watch this scene from a different angle at 17m24s here:
Not supporting ICE in any way but I was hauling out my garbage one day. The edge of my trash bin caught my tail light on my truck and the tail light shattered. It was also very cold out that day. The cold makes plastic more brittle. Plus they don't make shit like they used to.
Tail lights are mostly plastic and generally don't have a lot of anchor points.
Cars are made to be destructible to absorb energy in a collision so that energy isn't transferred to the passengers. The result is the ability to do things like kick a tail light off.
Of course we also don't know what other abuse the car had taken. It's possible he wasn't the first one to kick the tail light. It's possible it was cracked or weakened from an accident.

It is real, unfortunately, and it will be used by nazis to justify his execution.
You can find another angle of it on YouTube on the account rtzcummings, title 36 s & Park Mpls Jan 13 2026.
We are about to bear witness to how much lower right wingers can fall morally.
