  There's no evidence she was trying to ram anyone. Are we going to take their word or use evidence? The whole scene was filmed by the way.

    Hey watch the body cam from the officer who was run down

  The video shows her driving away from the officers. They approach her window, she backs up a bit, turns her tires away from the officers and starts driving forward when the agent fires into the car

    Literally firing at her head as she passes him by

      Firing at her as she runs into him, not passes him by. You don't do that to armed officers. You stop and comply with the arrest.

        She was doing exactly that. She was turning to leave. They escalated and then shot her. It's just blatant state murder. Governments killing people. Indefensible even by the thirstiest bootlickers

        > Firing at her as she runs into him, not passes him by. Pretty sure she accelerates after getting shot, what am I missing?

        Incorrect. At least two of the 3 shots went through the driver's side window. She was driving by Jonathan Ross who shot at her head and then called her a "fcking btch"

  Is this the current Fox News narrative? Wonder how it will shift over time like with Jan 6th.

    You mean “the truth”

    She was just trying to turn around, and she didn’t even hit him. He shot her for no reason. Okay she belonged to an anti-ICE organization that trained her to do this, but she was just on her way home from dropping her son off at school, and she didn’t know the masked men were officers. She waved for them to pass! Then an agent shot her through the driver’s side window for no reason! Okay fine. She moved to Minnesota for the sole purpose of impeding ICE operations, and her and her wife were blocking traffic for several minutes while heckling the agents, but she was turning the car away when she hit him, because she was scared and he called her a bitch! Alright alright, she was fleeing the scene of a protest she was leading and knowingly blocked the road during an ICE operation, and when a law enforcement officer told her repeatedly to exit the vehicle, she instead angled the SUV toward one of the ICE agents and accelerated abruptly, hit him, and then he said “bitch” after he shot her in self defense, but the real reason he shot her was because she wasn’t afraid of him and that hurt his ego! He could’ve just let her run him over and then shot her tires out like in a movie!

  You can watch the video yourself and see that she wasn't trying to run over anyone, she was trying to leave the scene. https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1q6o4d0/another_angle_of_ice_shooting_woman_in_mn_172025/ https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1q6o4d0/another_angle_...

    She tried to run down the officer that was in front of the vehicle, not the one to the side that was holding the door handle. Turns out the bullet hole on the glass is on the front of the windshield, it's not possible if she wasn't accelerating towards the officer that fired. I can see how the video could be misleading though.
    - slowmovintarget 10mo ago
      There's also video from another angle showing she actually did hit the guy.
      - LightHugger 10mo ago
        I just saw this as well. Here it is showing the car ramming the police officer, fortunately he was not injured. https://x.com/InsiderWire/status/2008974675171504504 https://x.com/InsiderWire/status/2008974675171504504

  There are at least two videos available from different perspectives. None of them show her trying to run anyone over.
  - slowmovintarget 10mo ago
    That's not true. Both videos show her hitting the guy in front of her car. She runs into him, then he fires.

  "officers" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this sentence. and no, she was trying to get away from being abducted.

    What is the heavy lifting that 'officers' is doing?
