ICE agent fatally shoots woman

[gcode]

:sigh: You don't seriously believe that do you?

I do
I'm not saying he deserved to be killed.
However, he was involved in an organised group who's goal is to impede ICE in the perfromance of their legal duties.
and
Had he walked away when told to do so, he'd still be alive.
Had he complied when they tried to arrest him he would still be alive.
I do not believe he was shot 9 times.

Let's ask them.  They were counting.  Probly trying to get their story straight.  Even the orange idiot has tried to distance himself from this, sending Bovino home and superseding Noem's authority by sending in Homan.

At that distance if any of the ICE guys missed they shouldn't be carrying. If you are wearing one as part of your job, you damn well better know how to use it. And if "the stress of the moment caused them to miss", then they don't have the temperament for the job.

Another one, this time in Arizona.

That makes twelve in the last five months.

And this from MN.  Another woman was arrested for biting an officer's finger, and this one was just picking up after them littering.

An affidavit states she allegedly was seen throwing objects at officers — including chemical agents that were initially thrown by federal law enforcement in an effort to move the crowd back from a perimeter that had been set up after Pretti's shooting.

...you dropped something, here.  You can have it back.

I was actually pretty impressed they didn't shoot each other.  Of course if they had, I'm sure Noem would be up there saying they were shot by terrorists.

It would have been the first time she was telling the truth.

I stand corrected

While this guy defiantly did not deserve what happened to him,
I think play stupid games, win stupid prizes applies here.

ICE is 2-0 in the quick-draw competition.
I'd say that's Pretti-Good!

I think they had the guy on the ground in a dog pile.
One ICE agent got his pistol and was walking away with it when he had an AD.
That shot cause two other agent to do a mag dump into the guys back.
Not a good look for sure.
I don't feel even slightly bad for the dead guy.
He was part of an organized resistance group bent on interfering with ICE operations.

In your little misinformed fantasy world, he was. The rest of us, who aren't impervious to facts, see things how they really are.

To be fair, it is Wednesday.
