Police have finally released the body camera footage of the despicable Georgia cop who gunned down a baby donkey back in late August, and it destroys the disgusting lie he was trying to sell to the public.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Elsberry farm owner Hannah Israel revealed that Cedartown, Georgia police officers entered her family’s pasture and killed her donkey HeeHaw after they perceived him as a “threat.”

In a post on Facebook, Israel wrote, “At 12:45 am cops entered my pasture searching for a missing person WITHOUT permission or warning and shot and killed my bottle-raised BABY donkey.”

She added, “HeeHaw was raised in the house and did petting zoos; he never knew a stranger. And was shot and killed in his OWN pasture for doing what donkeys do. Alerting to a stranger.”

At the time, the police had been reportedly called to assist a bloodhound team that was searching for a missing 12-year-old girl.

Trenton Garner, the officer who killed Heehaw, claimed taking the animal’s life was the only way to protect himself, the K-9 officer, and the team of bloodhounds.

Garner later stated that he informed his sergeant and the animal’s owner.

Now, the body camera footage, released Thursday night, CONFIRMS that Gardner’s statement was a complete lie. The footage PROVES that Heehaw was not threatening anybody.

In the video, a curious HeeHaw walks up to greet what he thinks is a ‘friendly’ police officer. The K-9 handler then shoots Heehaw with a taser.

The donkey walks away, seemingly into the night.

But Garner, who is to the side, is not satisfied and proceeds to unload a hail of bullets into the innocent animal, causing it to fall to the ground several feet away.

Garner then gets on his radio to announce he has shot a donkey and that it was trying to attack him and the other officer in the pasture.

But the video makes clear this was a cold-blooded killing.

The bodycam footage is finally out.

And now the truth is there for everyone to see.

HeeHaw wasn’t charging. He wasn’t attacking. He wasn’t some uncontrollable threat.

He was doing what everyone who knew him said he always did: running up to greet someone in his friendly, curious way.

And for that, Officer Trenton Garner shot and killed him.

Watching the footage makes this even harder to stomach. HeeHaw was a one-year-old miniature donkey, on his own property, being himself. That should never have ended with a gunshot.

For weeks, we demanded answers. We demanded the footage. We demanded accountability.

Now we have the footage, and if anything, it makes the need for justice even more urgent.

There is no world where what happened to HeeHaw should simply be accepted and forgotten.

We are furious. We are heartbroken. And we are more determined than ever.

Officer Trenton Garner must be held accountable for what happened to HeeHaw.

We will not stop speaking his name.
We will not stop pushing for answers.
We will not stop until there is justice.

#JusticeForHeeHaw.
Now more than ever.

Based on this horrifying video and other facts in the case, the firing of Officer Gardner is nowhere near enough. He deserves a lengthy prison sentence and a massive fine.

Our nation also needs far more stringent animal welfare laws to deter crooked cops and others from killing innocent animals in cold blood.

Legendary Chicago Bears coach, Mike Ditka, has passed away at 86.

Before coaching the 1985 team to their Super Bowl championship, he had a tremendous career as a player.

He was drafted by the Bears in the first round in 1961. As a rookie, he caught 56 passes for 1,076 yards and 12 touchdowns, the first tight end to top 1,000 yards in a season, and was the NFL Rookie of the Year.

He made the Pro Bowl in each of his first five seasons, helped the Bears win the 1963 NFL title, and started every game in six years in Chicago.

After playing for two other teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, he moved into coaching.

After serving as an assistant coach in Dallas, he was hired by the Bears as head coach in 1982, and the legend of “Da Coach” was born.

His 1985 team, with Walter Payton and the 46 defense, went 15–1 and beat New England 46–10 in Super Bowl XX.

The Hall of Famer tight end was one of only two people to win a Super Bowl as a player, an assistant coach, and a head coach.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I’m sharing the Ditka family has announced the passing of Mike Ditka this morning. Da Coach. Hall of Famer. The heartbeat of the ’85 Bears and a Super Bowl champion. Chicago won’t be the same. Prayers to Diana and the family. RIP, Coach.”

“Here’s a statement from the family: It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka. While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family. Mike will be missed beyond measure and remembered forever. With love and gratitude, The Ditka Family.”

Prayers to Diana and the family.

Ditka became a cultural phenomenon, spawning his devoted crew on Saturday Night Live.

After the Bears fired him in 1993, Ditka made a cameo appearance on the SNL cold open with the Superfans. What a loss. https://t.co/zCjVs4waxB

Ditka was also outspoken about his beliefs.

During the kneeling epidemic in the NFL, Ditka blasted the America-haters in the NFL.

“If you can’t respect this country get the hell out of it.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding a “full and independent investigation” of an ICE shooting in the Bronx, and she is blaming Target for letting federal agents use a parking lot, even as the Department of Homeland Security says the man who was shot is a criminal illegal immigrant with gang ties.

The shooting took place at approximately 4:20 p.m. Thursday.

Agents were trying to arrest 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, a Dominican national the NYPD identified and DHS described as tied to the Trinitarios gang. He was shot in his vehicle.

A 5-year-old boy, believed to be his son, was in the back seat and was not hurt.

Bronx: West 225th Street& Marble Hill Avenue, a man was shot and injured during a targeted @ICEgov enforcement operation earlier today, sparking chaos on the streets of the Bronx.

According to the @DHSgov, ICE agents were attempting to arrest a Dominican national around 4 p.m. Department of Homeland Security said the man has a prior grand larceny conviction, multiple arrests for assault, robbery, drug and weapons offenses, and alleged ties to the Trinitarios gang. @DHSgov also stated that he was arrested by the @NYPDnews in December 2023 but released days later. During the operation, an ICE agent discharged his firearm, injuring the man. Officers immediately provided medical assistance, and he was transported to a local hospital. The @FBI @NewYorkFBI and Homeland Security Investigations responded to the scene. The incident remains under investigation.

The federal agent-involved shooting has drawn agitators to the streets of the Bronx, where protests have escalated into chaotic scenes, unrest, and confrontations with police.

— NYC Scoop (@NY_Scoop) October 9, 2026

Belgal was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive.

DHS said Belgal has a conviction for grand larceny and prior arrests for assault, robbery, drug possession, and weapons possession.

Sources told the New York Post that agents were also looking at whether he is tied to the migrant moped crew that shot an off-duty Border Patrol agent at Fort Washington Park last year.

Naturally, AOC sided with the violent criminal in a statement posted to X.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill https://t.co/eDXEv5Vxrr

— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) October 9, 2026

“ICE’s already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today’s shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers,” she said.

The congresswoman called first for “a full and independent investigation of this incident,” then for “a full and immediate release of all body camera footage.”

She also blamed Target rather than the criminal.

“In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering its Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials,” she said.

“Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.”

The Target store is about half a mile from where the shooting took place.

A representative for the retail giant told the New York Post, “Target has no cooperative agreements with ICE or any other immigration enforcement agency.”

Ocasio-Cortez concluded by calling ICE “a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency” that “does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani also sided with the criminal.

Mamdani said he tried to reach President Trump to demand an end to ICE enforcement in the city and that he tried to negotiate Belgal’s release.

“This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities,” Mamdani said.

About 300 protesters gathered outside the hospital, and many clashed with police.

For a year now, the experts have insisted that record-high markets mean everything in America is fine.

Jim Rickards — a former advisor to four U.S. Presidents, the CIA, and the Pentagon — says they couldn’t possibly be more wrong.

President Trump, he believes, is preparing to deliberately shake the financial system to its foundations before the November elections.

That may sound extreme. But Rickards has been laughed at before. He predicted Trump’s 2016 victory on live television, when every poll in America said it was impossible.

This time, he says, the winners and losers will be decided before most people even know the game has started.

Unprepared investors could lose half their money or more. While those who see it coming have the chance to land on the right side of history.

Joseph Mitchell is running in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District to replace Republican Ashley Hinson, who is running for Senate.

During a debate with his opponent, Democrat state Rep. Lindsay James, Mitchell left James stumbling by simply reminding voters of her radical record in the State House.

Mitchell stated, “So this is before she made her home LA and San Francisco, Massachusetts, before she conveniently moved to Iowa just 10 years ago, immediately ran for office.”

“She gets in office, she missed over half her votes this last legislative session.”

“And when she was there, which was probably worse, she was voting to give illegal immigrants state-funded Medicaid, food stamps, housing assistance, sex changes for kids. She hasn’t seen a tax raise she didn’t like.”

“She was letting criminals off, violent criminals that we were trying to penalize and give the three strikes law to.”

“So again, we don’t judge her for being from Portland, Oregon.”

James, who looked like a deer in headlights, interjected, “These are absurd claims and absolutely misleading.”

Mitchell shot back, “It is not. And you know that’s true.”

He then dropped a simple line that left James looking haunted when he reminded her that all of her votes are on the record for voters to see.

“Well, we’ll have everything on our page after this, every single bill that she voted on that we just listed off.”

James voted against a bill requiring noncitizens to verify immmigration status and Iowa residency to receive public assistance.

In 2023, James voted against a bill prohibiting the mutilation of minors through sex reassignment surgeries. In 2025, James voted against a bill prohibiting state funds from being used for sex reassignment surgeries, forcing taxpayers to foot the bill.

In May 2025, James voted against prohibiting state funds from being used for sex reassignment surgeries. (HF 1049, Iowa Legislature, Passed House 63-28; James Voted Nay, 5/13/25)

On the house floor debating SF 538 she stated “it is mind boggling that the defense of this legislation is under the disguise of protecting children. When has protecting children meant denying them what can be lifesaving care.” (Lindsay James, Iowa House Floor, 3:42:03pm to 3:42:24pm, 3/8/23)

Communist New York City Mayor is getting destroyed in the comments online after his disgusting statements following the most recent ICE shooting of an illegal alien.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, protests erupted in the Bronx on Thursday evening after an ICE agent shot and wounded an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic in Marble Hill.

The illegal migrant was later identified by the NYPD as 28-year-old Oscar Bengal. He was shot in the neck and later taken to the hospital.

Per ICE, Bengal has a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny, and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs, and weapons possession.

He also has associations with the Trinitarios gang, the same gang that killed a CBP officer last year.

In an X post, Mamdani said he was “angry” before going on to prevaricate about the incident, having initially announced it on social media.

This included calling the illegal alien a “New Yorker.” Mamdani also reiterated his call to abolish ICE.

He included a video containing part of his speech to the protesters of the shooting.

“The pretext of ICE is to keep this country safe. How is it keeping anyone safe to have individuals wearing construction vests and masks and long guns when residents have no idea whether these are law enforcement agents or if they are simply attacking someone on the streets?” Mamdani whined.

“And when it comes to ICE: what’s the difference?”

WATCH:

I am angry tonight.

Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.

ICE makes this city less safe.

We want them out. Now. https://t.co/ZizKB0OP7S

— Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) October 9, 2026

Americans immediately responded by calling Mamdani a “traitor” and for outright ignoring the illegal alien’s extremely violent background.

@NYCMayor You are a traitor who should be denaturalized and deported.

Every single day, New Yorkers are shot by violent criminals, and where is this outrage?

Repeat offenders are arrested, released, and end up right back on the streets. Where is your outrage then?

Don’t pretend this is suddenly about caring when a New Yorker gets shot. If every shooting deserves outrage, then show that same outrage for every innocent New Yorker who becomes a victim of violent crime.

Where is that anger for them?

— NYC Scoop (@NY_Scoop) October 9, 2026

Liar! They shot an ILLEGAL ALIEN VIOLENT FELON GANG MEMBER Democrats released onto the streets to victimize more citizens. He isn’t a “New Yorker” when he is illegal. Are you slow? I haven’t heard one Democrat make a speech about anger over the American women brutally murdered by illegal aliens.
