    Earlier I turned on the TV almost at the same time CNN started showing the video here, I had already seen it, so I wasn’t shocked, but I didn’t expect them to just show the whole thing like that.

      If an ICE agent gets killed - I bet some media outlets won’t show it. And others will show it with so much intentionally pixelated - it will look liked nonsense. They will do that to avoid Trump’s wraith. For showing the video - Trump wouldn’t have grounds for criminal arrest due to the First Amendment but he’d threaten them with it anyway. And that could make advertisers jumpy. Very, very jumpy.
