ICE agent shoots woman in the face.

[Eyesopenwideawake]

It had to happen; in Minneapolis a woman in a car was shouting at the multiple ICE agents. One tried to open her car door, she started to drive away and was shot 2 (3? 4?) times in the head.

Trump is blaming her. Fucking hell.

EDIT BY MNHQ - Though the footage of this incident is in the public domain, we have removed the link originally included in this thread as we believe it could cause distress.

Calling the shooting an "excellent outcome" seems fairly gleeful @SwissChaletPatriot

You can’t control that, it’s a public site which always allows o/s voices. You can find other places that limit to the U.K.

What illegal criminal? She wasn't a criminal. She was a legal American citizen.

He was under no threat, she was clearly trying to get away, she wasn't driving at him. He moved in front of the vehicle, he could literally have taken one step to the side but he didn't, he chose to draw his gun. As someone else pointed out the trajectory of the car following her being shot highlights that her wheels were turned in that direction. The gunshot is not head on - it's to the bottom side of the windscreen.

Why would you want people on your streets who believe that is an appropriate way to act. Think about those circumstances and think about if you'd want every person to act in the same way as that ICE officer. You're setting a very dangerous precedent.

Which no? The being hit or the acceleration, both of which can be seen in the video. What do you see when you watch the video?

I have seen all the footage. I know what I saw and went to valid news organizations to read balanced articles not X . She did not hit the officer with her car . Stop pushing false narratives.

Don't blame them to be fair.

You stated "there is no one standing in front of the vehicle, only at the side".

The still picture that both I and another poster clearly shows that there was an officer stood in front of the vehicle and also two at the side (with one trying to open the car door).

Now the photos are there for everyone to see my question to you is why did you post deliberate misinformation?

Some truth at last! My goodness who longs for those Hessian days of liberal or at least sentient folk posting and commonality of references!

He wasn't directly in front of the vehicle. He was very much on one side. He had time to draw his gun, he therefore had time to take one step to the side, which he clearly does after he has shot yet the vehicle carries on travelling and misses him entirely.

By that same token should UK residents/nationals not comment on anything that is to do with laws in the US or indeed any other country?

I’m not a great fan of social media and the ‘let’s film everything’ But thanks goodness for people who recorded these videos or we would never know the truth, that she was murdered in a way which was unjustifiable.
People twisting like pretzels to provide it was her fault.

However I would be interested in all these ‘she deserved it’ posters for their views on the ICE agents after the event when they refused to let a doctor attend her and threatened to shoot them if they tried.
They even refused to let an ambulance through and the poor woman had to be carried by people from the car.

Good question, to @Goldenbeartoo who seems to agree with the pp

She wasn't a criminal. But you know that.

Again, which criminal are you talking about?

MN has kind of become a victim of its own success. Unless rules change so that we all have to provide evidence of our identities before we can participate (not going to happen, membership would drop to 7 people), it's open to anyone... and it became well known as a major site that was populated largely by middle class, left leaning women, and actually quite influential. Inevitably, people who don't like that - especially the "women" part - were going to come along to try to "correct" it.

@Danja2010 this is a still taken from the video which gives a good view of the point of impact and sequence of events. You can hear the gunshots after the point of impact with the officer.

Hi, Donald.

He didn't step away which he could easily have done because he feels he's above the law in that country and if he commits murder there will be no consequences for him.

She did not need to be shot on the face. He could have shot her tyres or let her go and then traced her by number plate.

His first reaction is to shoot because it's their modus operandi over there. They are third world level in their law and order.

Good example right here of the pretzel logic that is rife on here now! Honestly, who lacks so much self awareness that they are confident to post this bilge!

This. I've seen the clips, I've no idea why some are confused. She accelerated toward an armed officer, it is clear. What did she think they would do? Tragic yes but all avoidable if she'd stopped.

It stands to reason that if people protest by getting in the way of armed units arresting illegal immigrants, that sooner or later something bad is going to happen. That doesn't make it right that she was killed, but it was inevitable. The protesters should protest but not actually interfere with ICE doing their job, even if they don't agree with it.

The women part maybe but there’s some change from the rest which is good, but some don’t like. If we can comment on something in the US so can the people living there, or anywhere. Being closed off doesn’t make sense.

No she was given conflicting info, one agent told her to drive and the others told her to get out. She was probably shit scared of where they might take her if she got out.

I think people are just sick of the americanisation of UK culture and politics.
