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.
"If she had kept quiet, her husband wouldn't have had to break her arm."
Poor analogy. Obey laws.
Would you be saying the same thing with 2000 dead J6ers strewn across the Capital grounds?
PP here. Yes, I would. I'm sick snd tired of belligerent, in your face, taunting, horn honking protests and folks who think they have the right to block streets and buildingss, enter federal buildings, destroy property, disobey laws, steal ftom stores, start fires, and disrupt people's everyday going to work lives. FWIW, the J 6ers belong in jail.
So you mean the armed, masked vigilantes harassing and kidnapping brown people? You’re sick and tired of that? Good. So are we.
Sick of university protestors, too.

Do you know the first thing an officer tells a drunk as they are pleading to be let go and they’ll take an uber? They say, in your condition we have no idea what harm you may have caused tonight in your condition. We are doing this for everyone’s safety.
In Renee’s case, it was her own safety she sacrificed, and for what.
Would you tell your daughter to get out of the vehicle and go with the unidentified masked men screaming in her face and pointing a gun at her? Or would you tell her to drive away?
I would tell my daughter not to disrupt a lawful proceeding and to obey the people she knows are police. In the victim's case, she brought a car to a gun fight.

Very tragic for all but I have empathy for law enforcement who put their lives on the line and make split second decisions that can have such devastating consequences.
This is why taunting and provoking officers is never a good idea. Pure stupidity or maybe just naïveté on the part of the protesters, imo.

This is an un-American take. Americans have the right to peaceful protest, including performative protest; including non-violent civil disobedience. In fact, we have a long history of it.
Why do you have America?
How many Minnesota politicians are on video urging residents to “fight back”, “put your body on the line”, “have to go through me.” They are not calling for peaceful resistance and we are not witnessing peaceful resistance.
Zero politicians in Minnesota have called for violence. Zero. Fight is used metaphorically, give me a break. The rest of the words are perfect examples of peaceful resistance to injustice.
These politicians are using inflammatory words to radicalize their base against law enforcement. The right to protest does not include obstructing, impeding and attacking law enforcement officers in the course of their duties. A lot of the actions of the so called “protestors” I’ve see have been unlawful. And what is the injustice? People who knowingly came here illegally are being removed. What is the injustice in that?

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.

And just ruined the rest of his life.
What did he ruin? He becomes a MAGA hero.
He’ll never live a normal life again. He’s already abandoned his home.
Nor should he. He is a murderer and should be behind bars. But I do feel sorry for his children and his wife.
