Why do terrorists blow up airplanes and behead people? |

This is a state crime, so yeah if they’re tried it will be by the state. The feds aren’t even investigating. |

ICE officers are trained to never approach a vehicle from the front and instead to approach in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News. Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said. ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer. |

I don’t understand why they didn’t just drive around her as the others did. |

Because they were looking for a confrontation. |

Panicked? You can’t spin this. This was an extrajudicial killing and there’s lots of video. |

And what she was looking for? Lost in the middle of her trip to her hometown in Colorado? |

They love getting back at the women that rejected them. |

THIS. First shot may be somewhat questionable. The later ones absolutely not justified at all. |

| There was no good reason to shoot. Period. |

DOJ and DHS both say don't shoot at moving vehicles. From the NYT artcle (Gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/07/us/minnesota-shooting-ice?unlocked_article_code=1.ClA.rGsK.HSjbpkL5L6ms&smid=url-share)
"The Justice Department has long warned that officers should not fire at moving cars and has encouraged departments to forbid it. The department’s own use-of-force policy says that agents may not fire at a moving car that is threatening them unless “no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.” A Department of Homeland Security use-of-force policy dated 2018, during the first Trump administration, says officers “are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle, vessel, aircraft or other conveyance unless the use of deadly force against the operator is justified.”" From the same article: "Geoffrey Alpert, an expert on police use of force at the University of South Carolina, reviewed a video that captured the shooting at the request of The New York Times. “The way you evaluate this is you look to see what’s the imminent threat to life, and there is none,” he said. “She’s leaving.” “Look at the wheels on the car, they are turning to the right, and all he has to do is step out of the way,” he said, referring to the federal agent. “She’s jacking the wheels all the way to the right.” “This is what we call officer-created jeopardy,” Mr. Alpert added, noting that the first agent to approach the car had escalated the situation, whereas local police officers are generally trained to de-escalate tense confrontations. Jeremy Bauer, a forensics expert in Seattle who has testified in police shooting cases, also reviewed the video. He noted that the officer who fired his gun is obscured at certain points, making it hard to tell whether the car had ever made contact with him. The officer is positioned in front of the car before it starts to turn, he said. And the street was slippery with ice, giving the officer less control of his footing. That the officer fired more than once was also significant, Dr. Bauer said. “If you’re able to keep aiming at something that is moving by you, then you have some innate knowledge that it’s moving by you and not running over you,” he said." |

This is from MPR:
A witness to Wednesday’s shooting in south Minneapolis told MPR News that she saw a federal agent shoot a woman several times. Emily ****** lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. ****** said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. ****** said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car. |

Word is she was stuck on the ice. Like literally tire spin on road ice. Hopefully that’s gets Noem out of government housing. |
