Anti-ICE Demonstrators Claimed Law Enforcement Ran Over a Protester - Then Dashcam Footage Was Released

The accusation detonated online in minutes: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had run over a protester in Tennessee.

The claim spread with the familiar certainty of a verdict already reached, amplified by activists and influencers who didn’t wait for facts because outrage was the point.

On Sunday, an anti-ICE protest in Memphis garnered all sorts of attention due to, as WREG reported, “a viral video circulating on social media that appeared to show a trooper hitting a demonstrator.”
 
Given the inflamed tensions between the left and ICE following last week’s tragic incident involving a Minneapolis woman who died after driving her car toward an ICE agent, it’s little wonder this blew up.

There’s just one (rather significant) problem with that narrative: It collapsed as soon as authorities released dashcam footage that highlighted the truth of the matter.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story/ lie

An academy award winning performance it was not.  He came well prepared, but unfortunately his presentation was not up to contemporary professional standards. It Lacked the sincerity of someone immersed in the part and unwilling to go the distance needed to sell it to the public.
Full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order.

I'd bet federal law enforcement if flying drones over these locations recording everything including cell phone signatures.
