Every credible person I have heard who has viewed the video multiple times have stated that Trump has lied about the officer being in danger and the shooting being self defense. I won't watch the video so I will have to rely on others - I never watch any of those types of video as I find it too disturbing.
Agent calmly walked away - now claims to have gone for medical treatment, another obvious lie or an unnecessary visit done as a cover story.
What will we hear from the the MAGA fanboys? Any outrage? Any concerns? Or will it be the old "if she had done as she was instructed" (By masked men who carry no identification) ...
Which federal agency has the largest budget for 2026 again? Think there is an agenda there? Pfft. It's sickening.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
The righteous does not rejoice at the death of the wicked. I feel sad for her family. She should have obeyed the officer's command and not been taking part in terrorist activities. She clearly drove the vehicle while 1 ICE agent had his hands on the door knob and another was in front of the vehicle. She could have easily hurt or killed either of both. Thankfully that never happened.

It's not ok for ICE agents to pull guns and kill American citizens.
Then to make matters worse, the GOP lie machine kicks into gear with Trump and cowgirl Noem lying like hell about the conduct of ICE's killing of woman in Minneapolis.
She was blocking ICE from doing their jobs. Protecting American citizens by getting illegals out of our country.
The Founding Fathers would line up and one-by-one slap you across the face if they could.
No, they would not. These illegals are foreign invaders. They would see the socialists trying to take over the democratic republic they set up and roll over in their graves. Tell me this. Do Republicans or Democrats respect the American Flag? I see these protesters waving Ukraine, Mexica, Iran, Venezuelan flags but not American. Do they like the pledge of Elegance? The star-spangled banner? etc... These are fundamental principles. Seems some of the country has lost their way and are trying to bring everyone else down with them.

You are a prime example of why Republicans have a bad name. Far right wing extremists like yourself give normal Republicans a bad name and those on the left use your kind as an example to claim every Republican is like you.
Luckily I know many Republicans who are nothing like you. They think for themselves and aren't led around by the nose using every talking point the trump administration spews out of their pie holes.
The punishment for not complying with the police or ICE isn't a death sentence. Only in your twisted brain does that make sense.
The founding fathers set up a government that had three equal branches of government to keep things in check. Nobody is keeping trump in check and he rules by an executive order pen. Much like the king our forefathers fought against to gain their freedom. They would be appalled seeing how things are being run in this country now.
I'm not quite sure how much lower your level of disgust can reach.

It is when you try to run ICE over with a vehicle. I'm sad that someone had to die for everyone to understand that, but maybe that saves lives now that a little common sense has been established. That same officer was dragged by a vehicle in that god-forsaken city a couple months ago. Glad he's okay.

I watched the video she attempted to kill ICE agents with her car. She refused an officer's command, and she was a domestic terrorist actively working her craft. I feel terrible for her family, but the officers did what is right. She was the cause of he own death.

God forsaken city-- how many citizens from that city do you know? Ya think you have right to judge whole city? Citizens, we are in DEEP TROUBLE when it is OK for a cop to shoot a citzen in the head for moving her car agressively. I watch the video, yes, she didn't comply but as Pitdawg stated- she deserved DEATH. Hell no. Americans can wave any flag they want- lets shoot someone waving a Confederate flag-- come on folks- the woman should not have been shot and the cop should be fired for using excessive force at a minimum.
IF he acted the way he was trained- we have bigger problems than I first thought- he has GOT TO BE THE EXECEPTION- he overreacted.

There is no officer in front of the vehicle - he is on the side. If he was in front of the car she still would have hit him, because the car keeps going forward.
Hope I don't run into you at a tailgate - because 1000x cars drive closer to you than that car drove near that officer -- do you open fire on them all?
1.) "firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: ..... (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle."
Since he was already to the side - and she was turning away, and she was moving about 2 MPH.... there is no way he couldn't have objectively moved out of the way (since he was already out of the way).

He didn't watch the video, he said he won't. Yet he starts a thread saying ICE murdered someone. That's how far he's drifted down the rabbit hole.

BS meter off the chart.
Want to explain how the fatal shot went right through the windshield if he was off to the side? Magic bullet??
Must be nice to pass judgement from the sideline with a cell video, rather than being the one in front of a vehicle that first backs up and then accelerates directly at you.
Alas, most here will see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. Nobody cares that accidents with LEOs hit by vehicles are off the charts, or the fact that this officer was recently dragged from one, or the fact that leftist rhetoric encourages this behavior. Or the fact that this lady was the "ringleader" blocking traffic and impeding traffic all day after traveling from states away to be a nuisance.
And no, I'm not condoning killing people and think this is terribly tragic. I am a proponent of LEOs protecting themselves by all means necessary when their lives are put in danger by angry mobs.

I'm not trying to say that he may not had been in fear for his life. In fact I haven't stated anything about that. But what I will state is one thing was quite obvious. She had her vehicle streered far to the right making every attempt NOT to hit any ICE officer. In no way was she "trying to run over ICE with a vehicle". That's absurd.
This isn't the first shooting by ICE. And in Chicago it was determined by a court ICE was lying about what happened..................
Judge dismisses charges against 2 people accused of ramming vehicle of federal agents conducting Chicago immigration sweeps
The same "domestic terrorist" claim was made is this case. They claimed they were "ambushed". What we need to do is get past the rhetoric and take a hard look at each case.
Now this certainly needs a thorough investigation. And as I said it may be determined that the ICE officer feared for his life. But some of the crazy allegations being leveled like this lady was a domestic terrorist or that she was puposefuly trying to run over an ICE officer are unfounded and the video itself shows she was attempting to get away without running over anyone.

The officer that did the shooting is not seen in those photos. He is in front of the car. The officer seen was holding onto the handle but there is another officer in front of the vehicle and that is who made the shot.
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money." Margarat Thatcher
Yes he is - there are two officers next to the side of the car, the one further towards the front fires the three shots - you can literally see the smoke leaving from his gun, while he is holding it.
But no - I'm sure the Washington Post is just totally lying here -- on the easiest thing to get sued for ever.
Watch it again. There is an officer in front of the driver's side of the vehicle. I didn't see him either when I first saw the video. I don't carry at tailgates.
I'm quoting you because (IMO) this is the most honest AND accurate post so far.
My eye was on the officer reaching into the car right at the driver window so I also missed the second officer that steps in front of the car a pretty much the worst timing. He is the one that shoots (unless who did what isn't registering for me again).
I feel it's worth pointing out that it looks like at the time the gun goes off the front of the car (that he stepped in front of) is actually past him and turning the other way. I'll stop there because I was never a fan of pretending these situations are like in movies and the officers are all like 007 in terms of reactions/aim/etc except to point out that, in general, the conduct of these officers (who are given pretty broad authority) is more along the lines of jackbooted thugs vs enforcement officers. ICE officially being a law enforcement entity is going to continue being more of a joke the longer their operations resemble hit squads.

Can you now please explain what that has to do with her having the vehicle turned hard to the right attempting not to hit him? I didn't think so. It hit him with the side of the vehicle, not with the front of the vehicle as she was turning away from him. You do understand what the word attempt means don't you?

So this is accurate - you basically never get convictions when everything happens within a split second. The officer isn't going to get hit by the car (maybe sort of bumped in the arm) at the time he fires the first shot, but about 0.5 seconds before, he would have gotten hit in the leg.
The 2nd and 3rd shots are clearly illegal - he is well off to the side of the car, they both travel through the drivers open window. But given that they happened quickly, it's going to be really hard to get a conviction on them - even though (by the FBI laws on officer shootings) all three shots are illegal.
It's more that the administration has set up a tinderbox of poorly trained officers placed in situations where these things will happen, because it furthers their objectives to crack down on communities.
Well, you said there was no officer in front of the vehicle. Here is a screenshot I took off of the original video. The officer is in front of the vehicle, drawing his weapon. He has a split second to make a decision whether this woman is going to plow into him or his fellow officers.

I'm sorry bro, but we can see that watching an event that has basically already unfolded. There is no way in hell for any human standing in front of that vehicle to know that it is turning away from him in a split-second. IM-POSSIBLE
The issue is... Or part of the issue ... Trump cave out and flat lied. He didn't get run over. He was not hurt. He calmly walked away and after a few seconds said something about calling 911.
Now the FBI has claimed jurisdiction, which will without doubt mean a cover up.
The punishment for any individual not obeying a masked unidentified individual should not be to be pinned down. The whole thing is Orwellian. And as mentioned ICE die to get a phenomenal budget increase and to be the highest funded federal agency.
And people acting like this is all well and good. A US citizen, murdered by unidentified masked individuals roaming and targeting Democrat cities.

And as I said earlier he may have very well been in fear of his life. I find that as being plausible and understandable. That wasn't intended to be any part of my point.
My point was those making the accusation she was intentionally trying to run him over. I certainly agree with you that in a split second, life threatening situation a judgement call doesn't have the time to "unfold". It's s split second decision and fear certainly enters into it. Your brain processes the risk you perceives at that instant.
I'm still not sure how that involves the second and third shots fired directly from the side right through her window but it would certainly help explain the first one.
My issue all along has been people making the claim that she is a "domestic terrorist" and that she was trying to run him over or hit him on purpose. Never has the issue been about the officers response to me. I hope that helps clear up any confusion on the matter.

Renne Good should not be dead- Wiki- she was a "legal observer"- shot because she didn't get out of car, she moved the car, and was shot. Time will tell if the shooter is charged. JMHO, she wasn't a terrorist, she shouldn't be dead. State law enforcement should charge the shooter.

Yeah, but, but... that's the way you feel, I can tell.
I'm really sorry, Pit.

Exactly - there is a huge gap between "this was a justified shooting" (it clearly isn't, from the FBIs own handbook on shooting into vehicles), and "this will get the officer convicted" (it won't, and probably it shouldn't - though I could see a jury finding that the 2nd and 3rd shots rose to the level of being a crime).
But the idea that this was a "domestic terrorism" incident is laughable.

A couple things here,Fed. agents are immune from state prosecution for any acts performed in the line of duty. The fools want Mn.to investigate?That state can't even investigate billions of dollars of fraud that is happening right under there noses.

Flooring her car- you saw a different video than I- floored car moved- what twenty feet and "CREAMED" other car on side of road. NOT. She was dead pretty quickly. Poor training and complete OVERREACTION. Fired and prosecuted.

Thanks, WIKI isn't good source- a second video shows the agent in front much more than the first- still think overreaction by the ICE agent. Sources say he was dragged 50yds and had numerous stitches from an incident in June 25.....maybe PSD- why and what she was doing there will come out-- bottomline- I and many overreacted to incident- still think she should NOT be dead, but very sad situation on all counts. Remember Republicans and Democrats both think they are 100 right......not.

and he stands in front of the vehicle.
It's supposed to be hard! If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great!
He wasn't "standing" in front of a vehicle. He was part of a team converging on the vehicle so that the idiot inside would quit blocking their operation.
You're delusional.
And BTW, your comment that the hole in the windshield is an exit hole from shots fired into the side window is complete made-up trash.

If I take a picture of a gazelle racing across grassland at 60mph, does that picture mean the gazelle was standing there?? The officer wasn't standing in front of the vehicle, he was approaching the vehicle when it suddenly backed up and accelerated toward him.
And you're right, that was lookiedookie, I keep getting the two of you confused. Sorry about that.
So - I said before I won't watch the videos. So I should temper my comments. But just for the record here is what I know and then what I think based on what I have read and heard:
- Protesting in the USA is not a terrorist activity and when the PoTUS comes out hours after a fatal shooting to make such a claim, you know something is amiss. It smells like cover up - or just extremists flooding the zone with excrement. - Masked agents with no identification - somehow this aspect of how ICE operate seems to be alluding people and being accepted as normal. It is not. - Use of force by any law enforcement agency needs to be equal and appropriate to the situation - stepping in front of a vehicle to put yourself in harms way to create the scenario where you can claim your life is in danger does not give you the right to then take a life. Rugby tackling a person and slamming to the ground because they are in your face is not appropriate. 32+ deaths in custody and counting for ICE - seems entirely avoidable. As with a traffic stop - an individual not doing what an officer instructs them to do is not a green light for a death penalty. - The targeting of Democratic cities by the administration is wrong. There are illegal immigrants everywhere - the crime rates are much higher in other Republican cities than the cities targeted by the National Guard. It is more than surprising that people are ok with Trump acting in a petty, vindictive, targeted way against opponents - in the case of ICE, the National Guard and the made up and contrived prosecution of political opponents or individuals who have spoken out against him in the past. To deny this is happening isn't credible - and accepting it represents something that goes against what the founding fathers intended.
Those are all fact based observations.
What I think about the woman shot in MN - based on multiple reports and commentators both conservative and left leaning and also former law enforcement individuals commentating on the actions of the ICE agents.
- It was a shooting that could and should have been avoided. - It was a shooting where the agent used excessive and unnecessary force. - It was a situation where he was not in danger and he stepped to the side of the car easily. - The car was not "full throttle" or accelerating as if to drive over the agent. - The agent calmly walked away, not in distress or showing any emotion having shot someone in the head.
Bottom line - a US citizen was shot by a masked individual. I don't know what happened immediately prior to this event and if the woman had done something specific to be targeted. Protesting against ICE agents is not "impeding an agent from carrying out their function" - it is not aiding and abetting illegal immigrants.
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - I heard someone quote this yesterday to talk about the republicans. Seems more and more appropriate. Ignore the targeting of perceived political opponents or democratic cities. Ignore an agency running around masked and unidentified who are wholly untransparent. Ignore the overriding of the countries checks and balances. Ignore the division that emanates from the Whitehouse and claim it is the Democrats that are the party of hate. Ignore Project 2025 and first claim it has nothing to do with Trump. Then ignore that Trump's administration policy proposals mirror so many Project 2025 blueprints/ideas.

Obstructing an officer in the line of duty is not protesting. It is an act of domestic terrorism. This domestic terrorist is the cause of her own death. Plain and simple.

Any way you cut it, she should have complied with the officers commands. A 10 year old knows that.
Who in here thinks gunning the gas in an attempt to get away from the law is a good idea?
Can't find the video now - but there was at least one witness on TV yesterday who said that one of the agents was yelling at her to turn her car around and leave, while another agent was yelling at her to get out of the car.
Any way you cut it, she should have complied with the officers commands. A 10 year old knows that.
Yes. Or maybe.
1. Is he and officer? Based on what? A gun and a mask? Are you advising all citizens to obey the commands of unidentified individuals dressed in black, masked and waving a firearm?
2. My kids should listen to me when I tell them to do something. People should not steal. People should not drive intoxicated or high. People should abide by the speed limit. She should do something - does not mean that she should be executed if she does not.
I have not watched - every individual I have listened to has indicated the car in no way "was gunned" at the ICE agent.
Also heard and seen a lot of justification for the shooting because the agent was previously dragged under a car (on duty?) -- that changes NOTHING. If anything - if his reaction was based on that trauma (as has been suggested as an excuse) HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CARRYING A FIREARM AND WAS NOT FIT FOR ACTIVE DUTY.

Still haven't watched but read the comments. This isn't body cam footage it is a phone recording the incident. These seem appropriate comments I read quickly:.
They are trying to act as if this was a super tense situation and they feared for their lives but he had his phone out to record.
What part of law enforcement training involves silently circling a suspect with your personal phone recording them.
What part of LE training involves drawing your weapon with the other hand and nearly popping your colleague at the drivers window with one of his three rounds.
He shot with his partner right in front of him by a few feet, in the shooters uncontrolled anger he clearly put his fellow officer in danger.

I could have tried to edit peoples comments and make them less emotional -- but I decided to write what was written. I don't like that choice of words or trying to paint the agents actions as anger - but the rest of his point was valid - as were the other comments. As usual and something you in particular do - pick the one thing to mock while avoiding the substance of the other 98%.

Tucker Carlson Rips MAGA Reactions To Fatal ICE Shooting: 'A Woman Got Shot In The Face'
Carlson slammed his fellow conservatives for using the tragedy “to score political points,” while also decrying liberal leaders like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for “behaving like children” by ordering ICE to “get the **** out” of the city.
“But it should be secondary to the tragedy of Renee Nicole Good losing her life,” Carlson wrote Thursday in his subscriber-based newsletter.
“The 37-year-old was an American citizen and reportedly the mother of a kindergarten-aged child. Did we disagree with her views on immigration? Probably,” he continued. “But that shouldn’t matter. Her death is a tragedy, regardless of her partisan affiliations, ideological beliefs, or who pulled the trigger. A woman got shot in the face. How come so few conservatives are viewing this story through a human lens?”
Carlson argued in his newsletter that “the other side” did just that after right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was killed in September, though most Democratic pundits and lawmakers accused of doing so argued they were merely opposed to Kirk’s political views. Trump and Vance were notably quick to blame the “radical left” for Kirk’s assassination.
Carlson argued Thursday that violence around the world is “desensitizing Americans to violence at home,” adding that as Trump supporters and critics debate the recent U.S. military operation in Venezuela, few have focused on the death toll of at least 75 people.
Carlson says Americans have grown far too accustomed to “tales of the IDF’s U.S.-backed barbarities” in Gaza, where the Israel Defense Force has continued killing Palestinians amid a phased ceasefire, all with taxpayer-funded military aid from the U.S.
“If the United States were in a better place, everyone, regardless of their politics, would pause when something like the Minneapolis shooting happens and at least recognize the human tragedy,” wrote Carlson. “But that doesn’t happen because, compared to the countless overseas killings our government routinely brings about, Good’s death doesn’t seem like such a big deal. She’s just another headline.”
This is just a portion of a larger article that has what I consider to be political posturing involved so I only wanted to post the quotes Carlson made and points he brought up in his newsletter. You can read the rest of the article at the link if you so choose to.

And maybe one of them will step up to the plate and explain why they think it's okay for that ICE officer to fire off those second and third shots into her drivers side window after he was no longer in any threat of being hit by her vehicle.
I'm not going to hold my breath that either one of those things will happen.

Body cam of the agent in front of the car has just been released.
Important Note: It's not a body cam, it's a personal cell phone the agent was holding in his hand. It's not always on the center of his body, and when it shakes a lot, it is just because he is moving his hand.
Your undying support for Murderers, Rapists, pedos, Jan 6 insurrectionists, NAZIS, and convicted felons tells me what a piece of work you are. Pfffft MAGAts.

I knew it was only a matter of time that this would happen. They’re killing US citizens now for resisting their agenda. That’s a mandate only MAGAts voted for. Supporting Trump is supporting the killing of US citizens in cold blood on the streets of America. Own it MAGAts.

Fate, Wow have things changed!! The looney lefties used to think if someone assaulted a federal police officer they should be thrown in the dungeon and throw away the key ! Apparently if the assaulters are their lefty buddies it is just okie dokie. What phonies!!
If the people really want ICE out of their town they should just let them arrest the criminals they are after. Then they will leave . These “demonstrators” are trying to keep the police from arresting the criminals illegal aliens.
The lefties need to remember something. All of this is their responsibility. They elected a president who opened the border and dumped 10-15 million unvetted illegals into our country. They elected a president who welcomed gang bangers, pedophiles, child abusers, wife heaters and other criminals across our border and into towns across America . Many of these illegals have hurt Americans. And the lefties do not care! Somebody has to clean up the mess they made. None of them are willing to do it.
Speaking of Jan 6; remember when an unarmed Ashli Babbitt "got what she deserved"?
Any way the wind blows...
Comparing violent rioters and insurrectionists attacking the US capitol to overthrow a government to a mother dropping of her kid at school is a huge reach bro. But MAGAts do that. It’s what they are. Stinky MAGAts.

I didn't. But I understand that you have a really tough time at comprehension - I've read skimmed your post for nearly twenty years now.
I compared one woman to one woman. One, a twelve-year military vet and mother, unarmed, was shot and killed climbing toward a window on Jan 6. You all - to a man - said she got what she deserved.
The other, a mother who left the country with her wife and one remaining child moved out of the country when Trump became president. She later moved to Minneapolis to enroll her son in a "social justice charter school" and begin her career of interfering with ICE operations.
She was shot by an officer after nearly running him over when disobeying orders to exit her vehicle. She is a martyr and a symbol of "all things good" in the fight to stop Trump and ICE from removing all the violent criminals the previous (p)resident let into the country.
And BTW, as usual, you are sadly misinformed by that syringe you call "news". She was NOT dropping her kid off at school. She had spent the whole day as the "ringleader" in blocking ICE with her vehicle and preventing them from doing their job.
You mean if two of the three shots were taken from the side of her vehicle instead of in front of it where they might have actually been hit? Is that your justification?

Everybody knows LEOs are trained to eliminate the threat. Only dumb ones shoot once at a moving target. That said, the first shot through the windshield will be confirmed as kill shot. This is all just blubbering and whining. Meaningless noise seems to be the mantra of the (D)s.
For someone speaking about meaningless noise you've been posting quite a bit of it.
As long as someone is a threat they are trained to eliminate it. Once it is no longer a threat that doesn't apply.
So you already know which shot was the kill shot? But I would venture to guess since state and local law enforcement are being barred from seeing the evidence and the people doing the investigation have a narrative to push they will certainly claim the first shot was the kill shot.

Okay I'm going to add to my reply so as not to commit a drive by like the post you just made.
And I know you didn't address the post to me directly. But when you make a generalization like this...............

I've tried very hard not to look at this from either side. As I've posted consistently throughout this thread, at least from a legal point of view I can see how when he made that first shot it could be justified that he was in fear for his life. I don't know his motivation so I have not and will not speak to that.
But by the time those second and third shots were fired no such claim appears to be valid. He was at least 4-5 feet away from the vehicle and it was turned in such a manner that distance was only increasing.
I would agree with you that there has been bias and one sided takes on this shooting. But that isn't a one way street.
It was obvious her wheels were turned to the right trying to avoid hitting the ICE agent. So to claim she was "trying to run over him" is just BS. Trump even claimed she DID run over him which is BS. She was labeled a domestic terrorists which is BS.
So you can post "you lefties" all you like but to ignore the other narrative here being painted by the other side doesn't work.
I suppose you think this post makes me a lefty too.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
I would fire to the point that I'm no longer in front of the vehicle and not in danger of being ran over by it.
Which means once I'm beside the vehicle with a clearance of 4-5 feet to the side and it's moving away from me I'm no longer in threat of being run over. At that point I wouldn't be firing into the drivers side window. And you?
That would be the first shot, not the second and third one.

.
Questions.
Did the agent put himself in harms way through choice.
Was she a threat other than before she may or may not have moved closer to him? Meaning, they had her picture and licence plate. If they had let her drive off and prosecuted her later was she a threat to anyone or anything?
Is it clear that the protesters were preventing agents from apprehending illegal immigrants? Or were they simply protesting because they could see and knew the location of the agents?
Does anybody have a Scooby-Doo why the agent was recording her with the phone? To me that seems beyond weird, and with the way it all played out, is there anything to digest her was goading her or baiting her?
Is there dialogue from any agents telling her to be calm or walk her through the reason they are attempting apprehend her?
It isn't going to make any difference in the long run. But I'm curious. At the end of the day it seems the shooting was eminently preventable. Firstly by her own actions but secondly and as importantly by choices and actions of the agent.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
I'm not going to debate the circumstances leading up to the shooting with you. Yes he chose to place himself in front of the vehicle which goes against what officers are trained. That doesn't change the fact she chose to move forward as he was standing there.
I have made it as clear as I know how to that it was obvious she was turning away from him as you can clearly see her wheels turned to the right.
My point all along has been that I think in a court of law he could make the case he was in fear of his life when he made that first shot. I'm also not saying that things could have been done in a better manner that may have prevented this from happening in the first place.
At this point in time I can't even get people to admit that the second and third shots can't be justified.

I don't really have the answer to those questions as I have not informed myself enough about that part of the events to have reached a rational conclusion.

Why would the agent be in harm's way??

It's really simple - and you can acknowledge the issues or you can choose ignore them.
- She was a protester - not a threat to anyone before this incident. If she "got away" there was not danger to anyone in the area, immediately or in the future. - The punishment for not obeying a LE instruction is not death. - They had her face/video/number plate ... they had everything they needed to prosecute her if they wanted to. There was no imperative to prevent her leaving the location. - So when they decided to try to apprehend her - there was no reason to escalate. - At a traffic stop - and as far as I can understand in any situation when apprehending someone in a vehicle - you pull up behind them, you approach from the side - you do not choose to step in front of the vehicle. Not unless you are willfully putting yourself in harms way. That seems wholly unnecessary given the previous facts and a very deliberate choice he made.
You can choose to understand that is a logical and valid thought process. Or you can choose not to. It doesn't even get into why the guy would be recording her with his personal phone. It doesn't get into which way the tires were pointed or where her steering wheel was obviously being turned away from him.

Or maybe the Dems can call out people that think what they are doing is protesting but protesting is standing on a street and holding signs and making a point. It is not moving a car to block traffic. It is not to take over streets and impede traffic, it is not to block ICE or any other officer's ability to do their jobs. It is not to destroy, burn property, throw objects at people. etc... They are lead be paid protesters and quite a bit of the money is coming from the CCP. Think about that for a while. These so-called protesters are pawns in a sick game. Pawns from foreign entities' and since it aligns with the other party's agenda, they say nothing. I have watched the video many times this woman's death is of her own action. There are many lies being told about the incident but just like a thief that breaks into a home and gets shot then everyone wants to blame the homeowner. Don't put yourself in that situation and breaking the law then things like this will not happen.

So the punishment for blocking a road is to be shot. Got it.
Let's see blocking a road! Interfering with officers in the line of duty! Disobeying command of officers! Using a vehicle as a weapon! Attacking officers of the law! Tell the whole story it paints a much bigger picture! No get it!

I see You focused on the one liner and ignored all of this below. And of course your buddy FATE jumped on board like none of what I'm quoting below was even posted. I'm not surprised you ignored all of the substance to take a very serious issue and help try to turn it into a crap show. Would like you like to actually address the substance of my post below or are you going to keep playing silly games and turn a very serious event into another MAGAshow?

Let me just address this for a moment. Not the stupid comments part but "the first shot through the windshield will be confirmed as kill shot" part. First off, once again, I think we need to consider who is in charge of "confirming it".
If you care to try and look at what little evidence we have to go on there are still photos that show where the fist bullet entered the windshield. When facing the vehicle that bullet hole is low, maybe 4-6 inches from the bottom of the windshield and far off to the right side of the windshield. It would appear that it's located well right of where the steering wheel would be located and a drivers head would typically be located.
Looking at still photos of where he was standing at the side of the vehicle when he was making the second and third shots his gun was pointed in what looks for more likely to be head level.
It's not impossible for the first shot to have been the kill shot. But she would have had to be sitting in such a way that her head was very low. Almost to the point that it was beside the steering wheel towards the drivers side door for that to be possible.
But it seems that now this topic has devolved into this where actual discussion has left the building.

Murderous MAGA trash dresses up like a modern day cops and robbers kid’s game; a true bunch of brown shirt nazi scum living out the real world ramifications of hate. Killing American citizens in cold blood might make you a hero in MAGA eyes, but now the rest of US and the world see them for what they are. They’ll have to deal with pissed off Americans from here on out. I can’t wait to hear Trump is no more. What a POS human.
Many people had no idea that impeding traffic resulted in the death penalty. We are learning a lot of new things during the trump administration.
You can say it 500 times - nobody has ever said that.
All the media and the facts are doing is mitigating the b.s. that she was just an innocent mother, dropping her kid of at daycare that got "murdered by ICE".
If you really wish to keep pretending you're addressing the incident hop back an the discussion train..................

Typical. You want to bring up everything but the actual incident itself. When all else fails resort to deflection I suppose.
Dude. I really don't understand what goes through your head at this site. YOU do not control all narrative and direct all conversation. If you really think you do, or even should, you should probably seek help.
This site, the internet, the world in general doesn't work that way. Maybe your household does and you have brainwashed yourself into thinking that should extend beyond your doors? I don't know, but the entire notion is WACK.
He responded to my post talking about how the left has normalized all these situations... a perfectly relevant response.
The ironic, if not downright CRAZY thing is that you will derail convo after convo with the totally irrelevant "January 6th!!!!"
That said, you perfectly embody the disfigured party you represent - accuse every one else of the very thing you're doing yourself.
Sorry, another swing and a miss by you. Maybe try looking at what I am responding to next time......................

You drew a direct correlation between blocking traffic and a "death penalty". Do you even read these posts?
I most certainly do read them. That Tweet was implying by it's very headline that somehow her impeding ICE made some difference in the outcome of the incident. It did not. As I said, context means something.
And for the other post where you went off on some diatribe. We were having a back and forth discussion of the events that day. At the point where I brought up the trajectory of the shots fired you decided to quickly abandon that discussion to start your usual political BS. I'm not trying to force your hand into doing anything. I'm pointing out that you abandoned an actual discussion to start with attacking and demeaning those with a differing political view than yourself.
I simply stated that if you wished to continue having an actual discussion then do so. But it's becoming quite obvious you have no intention of doing so. You instead have decided to bring it back down to the way things were before. And now you're trying to blame me for it. Same as it ever was.......
And speaking of Jan. 6th. If what she did is described as domestic terrorism, wouldn't that also describe the Jan. 6th rioters? Remember, you brought it up, not me.

Nope. Wrong again. The tweet is not implying that. This is actually YOU implying that that is their goal.
I know you're only tuned in to a handful of scripts and narratives; but the media and narrow-minded idiots went from saying see was there by happenstance, to she was just caught in the traffic, to she wasn't instigating, she was just dropping her kid at school, etc, etc...
This tweet is showing that, as usual, fake news was painting a picture that wasn't accurate. Acting as if they had facts when they had none. That tweet is just another in a long line of receipts that you and yours will then crumple and throw in the trash, while calling the clerk a fascist or Nazi. The act is so tired, even our pets are tired of watching it.
I know it's hard to wrap your mind around a simple concept when it doesn't fit your narrative, but you can't be in one thread asking for "evidence" and then be in another creating your own out of thin air. I mean, you can; but then you can't be taken seriously.
Do you have any evidence that was the intent of the tweet??
What we both have is our opinion of what it was implying. I see you are still avoiding any substance of the discussion we were having of the events that day. Distractions don't always work.

Looking at still photos of where he was standing at the side of the vehicle when he was making the second and third shots his gun was pointed in what looks for more likely to be head level.
It's not impossible for the first shot to have been the kill shot. But she would have had to be sitting in such a way that her head was very low. Almost to the point that it was beside the steering wheel towards the drivers side door for that to be possible.
But it seems that now this topic has devolved into this where actual discussion has left the building.

This is all just blubbering and whining. Meaningless noise seems to be the mantra of the (D)s.
That's what it sounds like when people are no longer holding their own in a discussion.
To which you responded to this nonsense......

And again assuming I should only be responding to what you want to talk about.
You criticized Memphis and said he was "deflecting" when he simply responded to my post, a message thirty posts after that original conversation between you and me. That's when I made the comment about you trying to control the conversation.
You can't just copy/paste these two separate things together and say that was my response to your original conversation.
Also, I didn't respond to your previous "inquiry" because it was fool's gold. That's why a lot of people don't respond to you.
My "blubbering" response was in DIRECT response to this passive-aggressive response to jfan, a derailment into what you then wanted to be the narrative - that shots shouldn't have been taken through the side window.

I said officers are trained to make sure they neutralize the threat, you went on to say you would have stopped shooting when you were to the side and the vehicle was four to five feet away. I stopped responding then because it was turning into a fairy tale.
Things don't happen is slow motion and still shots. You're trying to say you would have rewired your brain, in under one second, and stopped shooting because you knew there was no longer a threat. Any further conversation - like I said - fool's gold.
Now you want to argue about who's opinion is more valid based on where you think the shot would have hit her based merely by where it entered the windshield? And where you seem to have determined shots did enter the side window?
No evidence, nothing even disclosed by media, only "hearsay" actually supporting my theory... as numerous witnesses say "she was shot in the face through the windshield?
Seriously? That's where you think the convo should proceed?
I said once he was standing at least four feet to the side of the vehicle when the second and third shots were taken she was no longer a threat to his life.
His arms were fully extended and he gun was still well clear of the vehicle. That is a minimum of at least four feet. No fairly tail there. So you are saying his brain was reacting so slowly that he had no idea that once he was beside the vehicle with at least four feet of clearance he couldn't determine she was no longer a threat to him? Yeah, right.
The video plainly shows that he was well clear of the vehicle and the second and third shots were taken towards the drivers side window.
I've seen nothing that indicates the kill shot was through the windshield and in fact the location where the shot entered the windshield would indicate just the opposite. You must remember he actually was recording this with his own cell phone. How much time would that allow him to make an accurate shot with the first one? By the second and third shots he had more time to steady his weapon and make more accurate shots. His stance alone on the second and third shots is a typical stance you use when aiming for accuracy.

Okay, so more words to say you have an opinion.
We've already established that. You're the dude that always wants DNA so you'll have to excuse me for not treating your opinion as gospel.
His brain was reacting so slowly??? C'mon dude, you cannot be this dense, there's like a total of one second for all shots to be fired.
He just decided to fire on another human. His training dictates to neutralize the threat, you want his brain to process:
Not getting hit by the vehicle The vehicle turning away from him
And then stop firing before the second shot goes off. So process all that in tenths of a second -- and if he doesn't, his "brain was reacting slowly"?
You may want to step away from the crime dramas and internet sleuthing long enough to apply a little common sense to the situation. j/s
In that "one second" he managed to process turning his body to the left towards the driver who was at his side, no longer in front of him, in order to take those second and third shots. He stopped firing between the first and second shot then resumed firing. It seems you feel he can process turning his entire body towards his intended target while lacking the ability to determine that target was no longer a threat.
I didn't need a sleuth or crime dramas to tell me what I saw with my own eyes. You claim that he could process some things but not others. Then claim it's someone else who needs to apply common sense?

So you are saying that he didn't have to process moving his body to the left in order to face his target between the first shot and the last two shots? That he didn't have to understand and process that his target was no longer in front of him but beside him in order to do that? Come on man stop deflecting.

Please try to focus this time. You seem to be having difficulty with that today.

You do understand that you can say things without using those exact words don't you? Because that's what you're doing here and you're fully aware of it.
Are you saying a man can turn his body in a totally different direction and resume firing his weapon by not processing what's going on around him? Because that is most certainly your assertion here and trying to flip the script on me doesn't change any of that.
My dad taught me that. That leaving our parts of the truth and refusing address the truth is also a lie.
