“It looks like the ICE officers had all the time in the world to move out of the way. But when you watch it again in real-time, you realize that the ICE officer had to make a life-or-death decision in the blink of an eye. A 4,000-pound Honda Pilot in the hands of a criminal, with its wheels spinning on icy roads, posed a clear and present danger to the officers.”
(Scott Pinsker – PJ Media) Let’s begin with the bad news: The probability of further violence is still sky-high, and more people will almost certainly die. Protesters are radicalizing by the minute.
But the good news is, this is a winnable PR war for the GOP.
We’ll delve into our PR tactics in just a sec. But before we do, here are a pair of “thought experiments” that explain why they’ll work.
First, imagine there are two groups of Americans. The first group watches the video of the ICE shooting in super slow-mo (which is how most of the mainstream media has been airing the footage: Networks are treating it like the Zapruder sequel, with each frame individually analyzed).
The second group watches the video in real time — with nothing slowed down.
I’ll betcha a Diet Coke that FAR more people in the first group would view the ICE shooting as unjustified. (Probably by a two-to-one differential, maybe more.)
