Woman killed by ICE

Many Americans are in shock from the daily assaults on our Constitution, the chicanery, the relentless lawlessness and violence within our borders and abroad; Venezuela, the financing of the genocide in Gaza, the proposed seizure of Greenland, the dehumanization of groups of people, some sent to torture sites. The US massacred Native people and put them on reservations, Japanese Americans were put in concentration camps during WWII. Our government has a homegrown blueprint for abuse of large numbers of people.
It's like living in a house with a violent, drunken abuser with no place to run for help. Congress is weak willed. Both parties are feeding at the trough of insider trading and fortunes from arms manufacturers. Tornadoes, tsunamis, blizzards and wildfires are released one after the other or simultaneously upon the American public.
That poor, frightened woman's last moments on Earth were consumed by an unknown man whose murderous hatred was sanctioned by ICE.

I‘m not sure what you AIBU is about but there are multiple other threads about this that you might do better to join.

Stop thread policing. She is allowed to post.

They have every right to shoot you. 😂😂😂

Sure. Whatever.

Also she wasn't driving at them

Why was she driving off though? She drove towards one person who jumped out of the way. Again, why was she driving off?

It’s on video! Not just the murder but the aftermath where they deny medical care.

JDV can gaslight all he wants but people have eyes.

It really should go without saying that if you attempt to drive a car away when police officers of any kind are in your pathway, have already asked you to stop, and will be hit by your car in your escape, you can’t be surprised if they shoot you.

They have every right to shoot you.

You got shot because you were a fucking idiot endangering their lives.

Lots of people get very upset by these things because lots of people are stupid and gullible and there is an awful lot of money and power wanting them to get upset about these things.

The same money and power that wants those stupid people upset by the flawless arrest of a Communist dictator who was trafficking drugs.

In every instance the proper course of action is to do more of the things that upset the very stupid people, because those are the things protecting the actually innocent people.

So far as the guilty people who drive cars at ICE agents, or traffic drugs into the US, or who violently resist arrest and then have a pretty predictable negative reaction to having swallowed shitloads of drugs, all of them maybe deserve a Darwin Award, but not much else.

Also, I know the people irate about ICE shooting a woman who DROVE HER CAR AT THEM didn’t give a shit when Ashli Babbit (not using a car as a weapon, or anything else as a weapon) was murdered in cold blood for trespass in a public building.

You see, when it comes to rights and use of force of any kind, it sort of matters quite a bit if the person is DRIVING A CAR INTO THE POLICE. Just as when it comes to rights and the use of force it also matters quite a bit if the person arrested is the HEAD OF A FUCKING DRUG CARTEL or a lifelong criminal scumbag.

Have you watched the videos of the incident?

It’s continued into another one and there are also ongoing threads about living in America where it’s being discussed.

Do you have a link?

There was one other thread and it's full now.

It was meant to address the murder of a woman by ICE and other comments about the disintegration of political and civil society in the US . Sorry that it went to the wrong spot.
