Bollocks. Show them.

Like I just posted.....steer away from the BBC and you can find them.
I realise you're just gonna say "see......fascist can't post the video because it doesn't exist". It does, go look.

Reputable news sources, like the BBC perhaps, who hate Trump (Panorama anyone).....or have we forgot.
If you steer away from the BBC and CNN you can find the video I mentioned love.

Tell you what- how about you link your sources then?.

Plenty of people here have linked the CNN. The Washington Post. The BBC and others.

So link your sources. We will all wait with interest.

A number of (credible) news organisations have now named a suspect. If they are correct, then at least he can be investigated.

She could have just not driven at them.

This isn’t a tit for tat situation. When people are issued with weapons and acting on behalf of the state we need to hold them to a higher level of accountability than a random member of the public.

They might encounter someone who doesn’t hear them, doesn’t understand English, panics... All totally normal things an officer can expect to encounter dealing with the public who aren’t trained for these sorts of situations. Shooting them dead can only be justified when there is no other option.

Everyone sane hates Trump. That aside, there's the NY Times video and The Washington Post. Nothing except the grainy, edited, debunked footage indicates what you suggest.

I did read an article in the guardian I think. About a year ago. To do with ice agents on Mexican border. 😴 Slightly crazy really. Where agents would jump in front of a car if the someone tried to escape in a car...some would contrive to get into that situation, and consequently be granted licence to kill, ostensibly in self defence. The article referred to agents seeking this out. Google the article, as I read it a year ago.

"Everyone sane hates Trump"......here lies the problem. Just because you don't agree with someone's political stance, doesn't mean they are not of sound mind. 72 million Americans voted for Trump, are all 72 million insane, seems like a lot 🙂.

I think the night shift is coming on line.

Girding my louns for the inevitable shallow, repetitive, fake soundbites that are only believable by the not very bright.

I’ve noticed the posting trend when people come home from work as well, it’s definitely more left wing during the day. How strange.

What other option was there?

bookworm14 · 08/01/2026 20:31

I don’t think it’s about who works; it’s about what time zone they’re in.

Seems to have been unintentionally exposed by Kristi Noem saying he had had a previous altercation with a vehicle - so the journalists looked up who it was

bookworm14 · 08/01/2026 20:32

What other option was there?

Not shooting her three times in the fucking face?

Also, apparently it is ok to protest except if it is to protest for illegal immigration.

People protesting for illegal immigration? When was this?

Playingvideogames · 08/01/2026 20:40

A little more information has trickled through. This officer was (it is reported) injured in an arrest some months ago where he was dragged along by a vehicle some 100 feet and was hospitalised needing 20 stitches in his arm and another 13 in his opposite hand (edit to clarify this)

I wonder if he’s mentally suitable now to be conducting these arrests, he may have PTSD

Frequency · 08/01/2026 20:42

BlearyEyes2 · 08/01/2026 20:36

And get run over?

Or move out of the way?

Or, maybe, and it might be a wild suggestion, not step in front of a moving vehicle at all?

I'm quite successful in not being run over by adhering to my second suggestion. If that fails, the first suggestion always works. I have been run over precisely 0 times since practicing this.

What are you implying,? Come on. Don't be coy.

How many times have you continued driving when armed law enforcement have warned you to stop?

Croakymccroakyvoice · 08/01/2026 20:44

This video is a very clear, frame by frame, slow motion breakdown of it unfolding. By the time he fired he was clear of the car. He went on to fire a further 2 times through the open window.

Thats irrelevant, even if true, a protestor don't deserve to be killed for being a "Professional Agitator"

You obviously think she deserved to die.

& that is a very wrong pov but i suspect 'Agitator could be applied to a few on this thread... judging by the deletions.

Edited

Even if true, so is Tommy-stephen-lennon-robinson-yaxley. That's literally his job. Does he deserve to die?

But she was still driving.
