Incredible how our news media is obsessed with the country. For fucks sake recently they were reporting about an expected heat wave in the US   - not even something that had happened. I don’t give a fuck about their weather albeit slightly forgive the WC angle. But today the airtime given to Trump talking bs at 250 year celebrations. Stop obsessing about every utterance and his banging on about being the biggest and best - he’s boring and it’s not news

A man who was fatally shot by immigration agents at a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday was not the intended target, US officials say.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, was stopped at 07:00 local time (12:00GMT) while driving to work and was killed shortly afterwards.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Thursday the stop was initiated because they saw "a white van with an individual who resembled the target" of an operation. They have claimed the officer shot in self-defence.

The agents involved in the shooting were not wearing body cameras and officials have not released any images or videos related to it."

The self defence excuse doesn't appear to be backed up by independent CCTV cameras. Shocked, I tell you.
