[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s an NBC video interview that sheds some light on what was going on:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1_n-OTT8zKM#searching

-She was a protester. Had car parked perpendicular in the road to block ICE convoy coming through

-They were yelling to move. When she wouldn’t move men drove up closer, got out and tried to get her out of car.

-EMS couldnt get through and ICE wouldn’t allow qualified bystanders to help with first aide.  EMS had to come on foot

If they were uniformed Minneapolis police, they would have a right to arrest her and charge her for blocking traffic. I agree with that. It's illegal to do what she was doing for a "peaceful protest" and she should have expected to be arrested.

If uniformed police approached her and identified themselves? She should not have driven away. BUT even if she did - they would know that they can just look up her license plate.

But these were random ICE agents who just happened to be driving near the protestors. They weren't on a mission of any kind? They decided they would draw their weapons to enforce traffic laws? THEY DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT.  They are supposed to be looking for illegal immigrants. They aren't supposed to be patroling traffic. They have no right to put themselves in harms way and then claim someone tried to hit them.[/quote]

It doesn't matter who and where from the LEOs are, all LEOs are trained on when deadly force is warranted. Any LEO will tell you deadly force wasn't warranted in this very particular circumstance. The officer will go to jail. What this means for the broader landscape politically speaking going forward, who knows?[/quote]
