    In the video he’s in front of the car for maybe half a second before she starts to accelerate and continues to fire when he’s clear of the vehicle.

    She was clearly performing a Y turn to steer around him. You can see him pull his gun out as she's switching from reverse to drive, and he fires the first shot while she's barely moving. She continues to accelerate after getting shot and yet he doesn't get hit, but he does continue firing.

    Her intent was obviously to escape, not to inflict harm. His intent was obviously to inflict harm, not to escape.

    If ICE comes up to you, treat it as a life or death scenario and respond accordingly. You can get shot, sent to a torture camp, or deported to a country you've never been in.

    Edit: and don't assume you're safe because you're a citizen and/or white, as evidenced here

    yep. you literally pretty much have to.

    this woman was trying to leave and they tried to take her out of her car without reason and then shot her in the face because they felt like it.

    12:49pm "Frey said he’d seen video of the confrontation and said ICE was “already trying to spin this as an act of self-defense. That is bullshit. This was an agent recklessly using power … that resulted in someone dying, getting killed.”

    Warning: violence

    • you cannot see any blood, or the driver
    • you can hear the gunshots, and in the second video, can see the ICE agent firing his sidearm into the car
    • ICE’s description of the incident is very clearly an outright, bald-faced lie

    Fwiw I don’t use Threads at all personally, but that’s where the content lives

    If this (and other similar incidents) aren’t examples of a modern Kent State moment, I don’t know what the fuck is.

    The vehicle doesn't accelerate until she's already been killed. The vehicle was uncontrolled because ICE murdered its operator and they are trying to spin it like this dead woman was trying to run them down.

    Fuck these monsters. The state needs to prosecute every federal agent at the scene for murder and public endangerment.

    Edit: I just saw the victims wife was in the car with her. Now I'm angry and crying.

    You can always rely on this regime to be as ghoulish as possible in their approach to any given situation and this situation is no exception.

    Imagine a human being still connected to any ethical framework trying to spin the post-mortem acceleration of the innocent women they murdered as an attack on them.

    You can’t do it. You have to surrender your humanity to be capable of this level of callous evil.

    They should all be arrested and tried for murder. They are all accomplices and co-conspirators in a serious crime, and should have the fucking book thrown at them.

    Otherwise I see no reason why the US citizens shouldn't take matters into their own hands.

    Murder implies he's committed a crime he could be punished for.

    He's a member of a fascist occupying force. He has committed an act of war.

    Find a source of Styrofoam peanuts, used motor oil, and empty glass bottles. Let no fascist know a moment of peace.

    May this murder be a curse to him who murdered. May his murder come back to him every time he closes his eyes. May he see himself extinguish an innocent life until that is all he ever sees, day in and day out. May he see a vision of the blood he shed everywhere he looks. May his murder rob him of everything he think he has. May his murder suck the ability to feel joy from his life. May his murder eat away at his existence until he feels that he himself has become the walking dead. May his murderous life become a barren moonscape of dull, meaningless motion from this place to that until it all looks, sounds, and feels the same. May his misery be matched only by his inner deadness. May death itself elude him in his cowardice. And may he then understand that this is what he made of himself when he chose to murder an innocent woman on the streets of Minneapolis.

    "fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots."

    A lot of these diseased twats fear everything. They are cowards. They are the type of cowards that shoot people for pulling in to the wrong drive way or knocking on the wrong door. One on one they are cowering fools. I meet people like them all the time. Give them a gun and group of like minded cowards and you get a savage inhuman animal. That is how I see them all as animals. If anyone doesn't like my dehumanization of them you can pound sand.

    The one guy was forcibly trying to open the door. She probably didn’t see the shooter, focusing on the guy trying to open the door. She wasn’t trying to run anyone down.

    Not to be too insensitive, but Reddit is filled with so many Russian bots and shills, I don’t doubt there’s a disinformation campaign right now to keep things looking good in ICEs favor.

    It was straight up murder. She was driving away and he continued to fire even as she was passing him, meaning the "danger" (which there wasn't in the first place) was past him.

    Courts very likely recognize that a vehicle remains a lethal threat until it is clearly no longer capable of striking the officer — but that clarity often doesn’t exist in fractions of a second. Courts warn against “shot-by-shot hindsight parsing”. Thus. Self defense very likely still stand.

    Well, today a family lost their mother at the hands of fascism.

    A couple months ago a judge lost their house possibly from fascist arson.

    Thousands have lost their careers to this fascism.

    I don't know the best course of action right now, but Stephen Miller and Trump are counting on violent retribution. They want more violence so they can clamp down even harder. Also all over social media Russian and Chinese bots are working overtime to exploit this murder to get more American citizens to commit more violence so it erupts into a little civil war and implodes.

    Just, be smart about your actions knowing all of this context. There's still a whole lot that citizens can do short of violence.

    Pray tell what citizens can do short of violence?

    Every single day is five steps back and, if we're lucky, one step forward - maybe.

    I 100% disagree with peaceful protest and simply voting as a course of action right now. It merely slows the descent, it doesn't stop or fix it.

    Until billionaires and fascists in power fear for their lives or cease to exist, absolutely nothing will change. That is an undeniable fact.

    So is Minneapolis Mayer Frey going to ban ICE from Minneapolis? I know if I came to work MY job, and I murdered someone, I wouldn't be allowed to come back.

    We want actual justice. For this guy to be jailed for life. But we know thats not going to happen.
