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.

The last two paragraphs are really key:

"Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics."

This looks horrific!
There must be a way for professionally trained police officers to manage people without resorting to shooting them dead,surely?
Although ,i've never understood why someone would not follow instructions from armed police officers.

My friend was shot in LA, clearly a member of press last year by ICE agents. They do not care, Trump does not care. People in the USA need to remove Trump. He's ruining America and slowly the world and everyone is standing back and watching. It's just madness.

PS, been shooting black people for years and mostly getting away with it.

And just to add, he pulls out his gun while she is reversing.

And that makes summary execution ok in your world?

When Kirk was shot, anything short of North Korean-style performative grief was deemed to warrant dismissal from employment. One man in Tennessee even got locked up for 37 days for posting a quote of the President minimising a school shooting.

Certainly being "not sorry he's dead" was considered "gleeful" by MAGA. So by the standards set by your comrades, you are gleeful.

GB News is to MAGA/Reform what RT is to Putin.

I can't believe anyone is defending the ICE murderer. They shot her multiple times in the head for sitting in her car then trying to leave when told to.

His actions are indefensible.

And what the BBC and Guardian are to leftists and communists.

Still no reporting of the Iranian revolution yet, eh?

She was following orders. One told her to leave and she was trying to do that until Triggerhappy Timmy decided to act.

Not sorry she's dead? 😮

It isn't provocative at all. That is nonsense.

What we've seen, and then heard from the President (who wasn't there, has no place in pre judging anything that could be prosecuted and should keep out of it) and others is nothing less than state excused homicide.

And as a PP mentioned, we don't even know for sure she was blocking them on purpose. In any case, it is unconscionable and downright uncivilised (but of course us in Europe who are keeping a semblance of human rights and due process, WE'RE the ones posing the civilisational risk...)

Because it does matter that she deliberately drove at an agent and lifted him off his feet.

The thing is they're not professionally trained at all. The rate they are hiring them, there is no way they have proper firearms or de-escalation training. In fact I don't imagine they have any de-escalation training at all, they are hired in order to escalate.

That's horrendous 🥲
Your post gives off 1930s vibes. All this technology has its uses I suppose in that you can film stuff now in cases like this.

Just because you say things over and over, it doesn’t make them true.

Well perhaps ask mnhq to remove the post where you call her a criminal. At least your other disgusting post is gone.

I e watched several times and I can’t see anyone being lifted off their feet 🤷‍♀️

I’m not defending ICE. I’m saying massaging the facts the other way doesn’t help either.

Trump will have his comeuppance one day…

Fear makes people behave irrationally, which is why firearms officers need to be trained to expect unpredictable actions from the public.

Have you never done anything stupid in a moment of panic?

Keeping a semblance of human rights and due process? You mean like removing the right to trial by jury and introducing blasphemy laws? Way to go!

Absolute clowns 🤡

Good and so they should @Playingvideogames but I've never seen such a display of calm dismissal or justification of the act of a mother being shot -
certainly not on Mumsnet.

This doesn't surprise me. I know people criticise ICE as it's full of people with limited experience and training but this kind of action also isn't out of the ordinary for police there. A few weeks ago I watched a video of three police officers unload their weapons into a man because he was standing still holding a paid of standard household scissors. He didn't even lunge or anything and was clearly in mental distress.

It's ironic that a lot in the USA say Europe isn't free when there it's acceptable for agents of the state to kill citizens so easily.
