I remember they were saying it at the time of the incident but I guess it was confirmed?
I don't know if discussion of what was said in the manifesto is allowed but he actually confessed this in his manifesto.
Youre going to get a lot of hate for this one from people who really want to signal that they somehow support the police for some reason, but...
the problem of white supremacists infiltrating the police and law enforcement is extremely relevant and extremely worrying. He made a hot take joke sure but the actual underlying idea is true. Its more weird to me to run interference for LE, how do you benefit from that?
Look at him dammit. This guy... so evil. His heart so wicked, soul so twisted. Deserves death penalty, honestly. I don't believe he's worth trying to rehabilitate and I question if he deserves the chance. It will never bring these people back. Never ever.
Even if he suddenly showed compassion, or said sorry.
Just.. throw him in jail and let him rot there if the death penalty isn't an option. His punishment must fit his crime.

Yea the reports after the arrest from media was that he said that. They didn't get it from manifesto. So basically this is just the confirmation
I think the blatant infiltration of white supremacists into American police and law enforcement institutions that has gone largely unchecked is far more disgusting than a sarcastic response, but that's just me.
Yup and this guy was the same thing. All he wanted was to drive mexicans out of texas by murdering and scaring them.
A firm confirmation is good but did the shooter already have a manifesto stating his reasoning?
.
Whenever a mass shooting is done by a white person, the Media usually needs 100% undeniable certification on a motive before they call it what it is.
I wonder where he got the idea of a Mexican invasion from. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite remember. Oh that's right...VIDEO GAMES!
Yes his reason was that some how Mexicans were being used in a bigger plot to flip the state, and if I remember correctly democrats (or republicans I can't remember) were going to use that to also flip other states and turn the country into a single party country as they'd always have the most amount of states won or something insanely crazy like that. So that's why he did this, to stop a conspiracy that he made up.
Just last month a veteran officer from the El Paso department was called out for posting racist stuff on their facebook page.
I doubt anyone was giving the shooter high fives but its pretty clear that white nationalist are attracted to the police force and agree with the white genocide/invasion mindset.
Also just to be clear #notallcops but the institution itself is horribly corrupt.
As a Mexican,, now being the officially target by White Supracist terrorists , some of them cops, you can save your fucking self righteous outrage to be honest.
So in a way, we all knew his reasoning without having to infer since he wrote it down.. I guess I'm even more confused on why news station continue parroting, "We just don't know why he did this?" When we have his written testimony.
The media likes to dance around with terms on something obvious. It's always "seems to have, possibly, looks like" always willing to give the right wing and out to latch on. They have to literally hear it outright from the perps mouth and even then they'll screw it up.
Nah, he had the right idea. White Supremacist are in the police force and that is a fact.
I want to say probably just don't want to draw anyone like him to his manifesto and then create another shooter, but yeah it's dumb that they parrot like they don't know anything which is just lying to the people watching. I'm surprised the Police of all people haven't just pushed him through the system and thrown him in Guantanamo I mean shit that manifesto alone is conspiracy to murder.
Yeah sadly that's how the news is in the US. I wish it was different.
It was a report from somebody in the sheriff's office the next day after the attack (one of the first things he said was he was targeting Mexicans), and nobody said it was wrong that could have, so the media has been operating under the assumption that this has been his motives since the day after the attacks, so basically yeah, it's old news. This just seems like a definitive confirmation.
Yup. We got a post on the front page about a cop who had a KKK application.
There needs to be a swamp draining of police forces across the nation
The Media: "But I guess we'll never know why he did this"
Don't you have some boots to lick?
Boy, if only the laws regarding gun ownership was stricter or something, so we could at least weed out people like this.
Oh well, time to relax gun laws. Guns in churches!!
Nah, there are plenty of sympathizers in the police. Hell even talk to a cop about 2A rights sometime, they are some of the biggest proponents and part of the problem. They stand in the way in multiple ways.
I would go with half, with my confidence interval at 95%.
If this is true: if this was a POC, SWAT would have shut that shit down.
"Oh he's white? He's 21!"
"He said that but did he really mean it?"
There's your reframing and deflection while not directly quoting him

They shouldn't be allowed to reframe it. They can say he was targeting "Mexican Nationals" but that's 100% bull. He didn't ask for passports, green cards or immigration status to pick his targets - he didn't include all of the other ethnic groups that make up Mexico. He picked one ethnic group and fired.
