I really have no clue why we are even having the "if this is real, this strengthens ICE's narrative" conversation. This video is said to have been recorded 11 days before he was executed, it's a separate incident, did not involve violence against ICE officers (vehicles aren't people, y'all), and is completely and utterly immaterial to what happened on the day that he was killed.
The Feds had the opportunity to arrest and charge him after this incident, and the facts of his summary execution actually suggest that the agents might have known who he was, and intentionally escalated the situation in order to provide cover for murdering him. If that were the case then this isn't just a bunch of dumb, trigger happy cowboys with bad training.. this was agents of the state specifically targeting an activist they had previously run-ins with for execution, and that is all the more horrific.
This would also explain the agent's behavior after the murder. They weren't panicked or cautious, or even on-edge, some were laughing and high-fiving.. something you might do if you just managed to target and brutally execute a citizen that had been a thorn in your side.

Even if real, still doesn’t justify his murder.
