ICE agent shoots a driver.

like marbles on glass
Nope. Officer was struck by the vehicle before her wheels had reached center.

No, he was not. Look at my video in post 15 again (or for the first time) specifically from the 2:34 mark. He is not hit.

Driving your vehicle into a federal officer is attempted murder.

She didn't do that. She clearly was turning away from him. And obviously after being shot, lost control of her vehicle.

No one said it was.

It certainly was for her.

This is blatantly false.

No. What's false is labeling her a domestic terrorist.

Then maybe she should have been more considerate of her family and not followed agents who were doing their jobs around, impeding them with her vehicle.

Video? And even so, unless you live in a totalitarian state, it is not a capital offense, to be tried and executed on the spot.

From in front of her vehicle. The one which she just tried to run him over with.

She starts turning the wheel to flee. Officers are in front of her to deter her from running.
In no world do I see probable cause to start shooting someone because she is running from the law and her violation is unlawful protest and obstruction. I would have him executed. And the cop that murdered the woman in the Capitol. Many officers should not be in law enforcement. This has nothing to do with an administration.

Of course it does. Would the Biden admin have been deporting folks from Minneapolis? If you don't try to stop perpetrators, then people don't get killed by cops...they get killed by criminals. This is unfortunate, for sure. But it will be overblown by the left and covered up by the right. A proper investigation is essential, but I don't see how you can fault the officer.

Is she a domestic terrorist? Probably not, though she was on the side of domestic terrorists.

I can, it isn't an isolated incident. There are way to many dirty officers in this country.
You would fault this particular officer in this particular instance because of "dirty officers in the country"? Isn't that why they do investigations? Or would you also say that investigations would come to the wrong conclusions because there are too many dirty officers in the country?

She chose to not cooperate with police, that's a crime. She almost killed a police officer. How's the officer to know she's not going to barrel down the road and run over some other innocent person, all in the commission of her crime? If she had done that, it would have been felony murder. With her reckless choice she was a menace to innocent people, nobody thinks she intended to kill, but that's what felony murder is all about. Someone dies while you were committing a crime.

I agree with "as he opens fire", but not WHEN he decided to open fire, that split-second decision was made AS she was going right at him.

Again, watch the slow mo video here:


(@annabenedetti read from here)

She's backing up. Officer in front becomes visible. She comes to a stop. Officer is still in front of her. 5 seconds into the video.

She's in the process of turning her wheels right, but they're still a good 10-15 degrees to the left of center. She puts it in drive. She lurches forwards because her tires slip, 6-7 seconds into the video, but that's enough movement that the officer, who is still in front of her, decides at that point draws his gun and opens fire, 8 seconds in, once before she hits him, then she strikes him, 11 seconds, then he continues firing as she tries to drive away still turning her wheel, but at that point, she's already been hit and the rest of her turning the wheel is (at this point likely) due to a dead-man's grip on the wheel, pulling it to the right as she slumps. She's dead before her car impacts the other vehicle a ways down the street.

Watch at half or quarter speed.

She tried to run him over, at least from his perspective.

And that's enough legal justification for him to pull his gun and start shooting.

No, he was not. Look at my video in post 15 again (or for the first time) specifically from the 2:34 mark. He is not hit.

I posted a video that is slowed down. She puts it in drive with her wheels to left of center, skids because of the ice, at which point the officer opens fire, THEN at that point her steers are centered.

She didn't do that. She clearly was turning away from him. And obviously after being shot, lost control of her vehicle.

Doesn't matter.

Officer had to make a split second decision the moment she started moving forwards.

And he had been dragged by another criminal just 6 months prior, so I can't blame him for pulling the trigger instead of not.


And here's another officer who WAS killed by someone who tried to run with an officer in front of them:


It certainly was for her.

Supra.


Saying "No" doesn't change the fact that it wasn't murder.

It's akin to a child stomping his foot and yelling "NO!" when his parents tell him to clean his room.



The fact is, she was being detained, she was not free to go, and at the very least, tried to flee while an officer was in front of her vehicle, and the officer at that point is well within his rights to shoot her.

What's false is labeling her a domestic terrorist.

Impeding federal agents during their lawful duties is a crime.

She tried to run an officer over, that makes it a violent crime.

Doing so for political reasons makes it terrorism.

That it's in the USA makes it domestic terrorism.


She's clearly blocking the road with her vehicle. The officers approach her to detain her. She tries to flee and gets shot.


And even so, unless you live in a totalitarian state, it is not a capital offense, to be tried and executed on the spot.

No one is saying the officer was executing justice as though he were a judge.

It was self defence by the officer.

The fact that she tried to run him over is attempted murder. If we had a just legal system, it WOULD be a capital offence, and the just punishment for that is the death penalty.

But we don't have a just legal system.

We have one that's completely broken, which has resulted in people thinking that doing things like this (not to mention the reason the ICE agents were there in the first place, investigating illegal immigrants/fraud) is not only okay, but justified.

And the fact that the agent had been dragged before by someone he had tried to detain, I can't blame him for being skittish.

The position of the hole in the windshield doesn't make your case the way you think it does.

Yes, it does, Anna, it shows that he shot at her from in front of her vehicle, almost directly in front of her.

About where that other officer (see above) was standing when she was run over and killed by the criminal she was trying to stop.

In no world do I see probable cause to start shooting someone because she is running from the law and her violation is unlawful protest and obstruction.

It's not without precedent.

See the x.com link above from memeticsisyphus.

I would have him executed.

Unjustly.

And the cop that murdered the woman in the Capitol. Many officers should not be in law enforcement. This has nothing to do with an administration.

There are plenty of bad cops.

This one is not one of them.

Same place, same mayor, and a white woman replaces a black man. Good news for Walz. A nice distraction. Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey is back with a new situation. Somebody got shot. Can't blame this one on the police. They were nowhere to be found. Just 150 protesters. Some using their cars to attack ICE.
Listening to Beck this morning and he was commenting on how they're trying to make her into the next George Floyd. The next martyr. And how difficult a time they're having because she's a white woman.

That has nothing to do with the following, which is my point. In a G rated example of someone who has no business in law enforcement, I suspect he is actually big trouble all the time. Before the dashcam got popular. He had no reason to stop "James". None. This is a huge problem in this country. Cops don't become psychopaths, psychopaths go to become police. So they can dominate other people.

You would fault this particular officer
No, I am bringing to the attention that there are many in law enforcement who should be nowhere near a badge. In no version does she try to run him over. She is fleeing, and it is obvious. And she was there to start trouble. Nobody is saying otherwise.

In the version where she is moving when there is an officer in front of the car, it appears, if only for an instance, that she is trying to run him over. Remember that the officer didn't get to review the videotape several times before deciding to take deadly action against another deadly action. And that's the version we're discussing.

I'm not disagreeing that there are bad police officers, all over the country. But that doesn't mean that all officers all over the country are bad, and you can't pre-judge the guy with that criterion.
