Anonymous wrote:I just finished reading an article on the ICE agent’s background. He was based in Minneapolis, so not someone unfamiliar with the area or the cultural values.
He was also highly trained, which makes it even more curious that he had such little impulse control and lacked discipline in the field. From the article:
Ross said he has served as a deportation officer based in Minnesota since he joined ICE in 2015. He is assigned to fugitive operations, seeking to arrest “higher value targets” in the ICE region that includes Minneapolis, he testified last month. He said that he was also a team leader with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.
“So I develop the targets, create a target package, surveillance, and then develop a plan to execute the arrest warrant,” he said.
Ross said that he was also a firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor, a field intelligence officer and member of the SWAT team. He said that he attended the Border Patrol’s academy in New Mexico, where he learned to speak Spanish.

Would you tell your son to force his way into a woman's car, and call her a 'f*****g b***h'?

I'm sure they would have been okay with getting a ticket, maybe having to pay a fine. Maybe spend some time in jail. Those are the normal consequences for civil disobedience, not getting killed.
If the car had stayed in park, that’s probably all that would have happened.
Not with the way the first agent reached inside her door. There was no guarantee of their safety.
But obviously everyone’s safety was not their goal, or they would never have been there at all. How did the women want it to end?
No. It was a peaceful protest. No one was the tiniest bit unsafe, until ICE stumbled by.
She hit the officer with her car. Not exactly peaceful.
No. It was a peaceful protest and no violence was planned or carried out.
Even if she did hit the officer, which I doubt, he was in the wrong for walking in front of her car. She was clearly turning her wheels to drive away.
Driving away from the men who were yelling at her and grabbing her car. That wasn't part of the protest.
Stop arguing about this. There was no justification for shooting her.

That's not what they were doing.

I guess bc white liberal women are the most visible in terms of protesters. But the language is just depressing. Like how dare they speak up and make such a fuss. That along with Latino and black right wing influencers-wanna-be saying the Democratic Party hates people of color and Good should have just behaved. Like yo. Is this real life?
Speaking up is great. I will defend your right to do so. Attempting to block an active police investigation with your car, disobeying lawful commands, and nearly running over an officer is not so great.

And not taunting ICE and yelling at them. Not my idea of a peaceful protest.
The lesson is that if you hurt precious ma feeling you get executed.
That’s second degree involuntary tmanslaughter, at least
The audio of "F*****g B****" is chilling. What a cold voice. He wasn't scared at all, just contemptuous.
What did she want him to call her? She went there with the purpose to provoke and she succeeded. Rest in peace.

Each to his own. Not everyone desires and appreciates noisy, intrusive protests in their neighborhoods. I work in a school comprised of 80% Hispanic families with respectful, hardworking kids. parents are here legally and mostly live in nearby apts. No one is bothering them.

Exactly. I found the women’s demeanor bizarre— like they were enjoying themselves and doing this as a lark.

Enjoying yourself is a capital offense now.
