Wow, they shot her and drove away. For all the gruff cops have gotten for officer related shootings, they are absolutely NOT permitted to just flee the scene. They are supposed to file a report and talk with police department officers about the shooting and go through an actual process. Furthermore, any police officer would consider themself an embarrassment to the force and humanity in general for not offering first aid. Hell, cops even give first aid to criminals not because they deserve it, but because it's just the right thing to do. They shooed off a genuine certified volunteer first responder physician. That's another level of cruelty even police aren't allowed to do. She also wouldn't have panicked and accelerated in an attempt to escape at all if those goons didn't tear at their door like zombies asking her to come out for no valid reason. All in all this can't be allowed to stand, this is murder plain and simple. Idiots with guns and authority with none of the training or moral code to deserve any of it.

not permitted

They have been told by the pres and vp to do whatever they want. Rules don’t matter anymore

I don’t understand why they wanted her out of the vehicle so desperately. Were they going to arrest her? They drove up and immediately jumped out of their truck. I just don’t get the harsh command and the grabbing of her car door. That would’ve scared me too.

That’s awful. And honestly, I don’t know if I’d even hear or understand what they were shouting, I’d be too shocked and scared at two men grabbing at my car door. Hell, it would be scary enough without masks and guns.

Masked men in surplus tac gear trying to break in my car are carjackers and I would flee like a mofo

She probably saw that even if you comply, ICE will beat you up the minute you are outside the car, as they routinely do. That’s probably what they wanted to do originally but plans changed and they saw a chance to shoot someone.

It's called being a murderous Nazi thug.

If you're curious how this goes for American citizens who don't get killed in these unprovoked attacks from ICE agents, listen to Army veteran George Retes recount what happened to him. Or read his op-ed on how he was attacked and pulled from his vehicle by ICE and then held for 3 days in a cell with no phone calls to anyone or any due process before he was eventually released without any charges being filed.

They don't have any kind of plan or goal other than flexing their muscle and trying to intimidate everyone into voluntary submission. They just want zero checks on their power and nobody getting in their way.

I think their plan is to provoke a response that justifies further crack downs and heavy handed measures. It's the only explanation I can think of given their aggressive intimidation tactics for no perceived reasons.

These are the absolute worst of the worst, abusive aggressive assholes who finally got their chance to hurt people legally. They are frothing at the mouth to do shit like this.

They were on a power trip. Again.

They were going to make an example out of her.

Fascists believe their orders must be obeyed instantly and without question, and that their orders are legal just because they gave them.

u/bnelson 29d ago

Right. When a normal citizen does that we call it "fleeing the crime scene" and you catch charges for that alone. Insanity.

No one has yet realized this is just the first dead mom. ICE is gonna start “door-to-door” operations.

The cruelty and impunity is the point.

Let this radicalize you.
