Seriously. You don't.
Your life won't be improved by seeing it. Especially if you already oppose ICE.
@mekkaokereke Thank you. I’ve been banging this drum with friends and feeling unheard. I want the word to get out so my people stop suffering unnecessarily.

@mekkaokereke basic rule in disaster response: you don't have to work through stuff you didn't see in the first place. Don't look at the body directly, don't touch stuff you don't have to, don't come near the site if you're not immediately required to be there. Stay. The fuck. Away.
Same for these videos.

@mekkaokereke I watched some of it just so that I knew what was happening, and that was enough. There's some of it going on here too.

I highly recommend NOT watching it.

@mekkaokereke Just to reinforce this point: the video *will* induce a psychological trauma response even if you think you're prepared for it. I saw it, and I'm still feeling the bad feelings hours later.

@mekkaokereke I learned this lesson the hard way years ago, when police violence was just gaining media attention. I felt obligated to watch a video that was circulating, but did not realize it would shatter me so completely.
I didn't need to see the video. I knew what had happened. I was already mobilized. All it did was hurt me so badly I was useless to anyone for a while and periodically for several years after.
Records are important. So is maintaining emotional health to fight another day

I never do. The descriptions are enough to fuel my moral outrage. I don't need to add the trauma to that.

That and the regular job description for Trump's ICE brown shirts, i.e. snatching people off the streets in order to disappear 'em. It was clear from the beginning what ICE is all about, wasn't it. And it's certainly not just about one protestor who was murdered just for being there and getting in their way somehow. It's about all the people Trump's paid racists are taking into camps and shit.
