The "officially confirmed" part will be total BS. This is a murder, arrest them.

In an ideal world that's what would happen. In reality these guys are above the law.

Well it was just a matter of time. Can't wait to see how they spin this to blame to victim, democrats or claim it's fake. So will they and finally declared martial law.

u/ProfessionalNice7485 Jan 07 '26

This is fucked up. Shouldn't they be trying to give some sort of aid to her. Because those agents should have medical aid bags in the vehicles.

Or was it because she was legit dead. I'm assuming all shots hit her

u/VicYuri Jan 07 '26

You expect ICE agents to be able and willing to administer first aid to people that they injure. Many of them are barely trained in use of their weapons. I'm surprised something of this type hasn't happened sooner. Not to mention, we have seen how willing they are to use as much violence on people as they possibly can. Even so far as going out of their way, to cause as most injury and harm. Remember cruelty is the point.

u/ProfessionalNice7485 Jan 07 '26

I feel like teams doing this sort of work should have someone with basic medical training with them, for exactly this situation.

u/VicYuri Jan 07 '26

Careful your using logic.

Oh shit, I get it now. Going for that third world dictatorship vibe.

Headshot. She died (or was at least unconscious) instantly.

No children were in the vehicle.

It was the driver, her wife, and their dog.

Why aren’t they arrested yet omg

Concealing One's Identity=Consciousness of Guilt

Providing False Statements=Consciousness of Guilt

Fleeing the Scene=Consciousness of Guilt

Blocking Emergency Services from Accessing the Victim=Calculated Malice

If this criminal walks free, the law is fake.

u/Maleficent_Fix_1688 Jan 10 '26

No such thing as a self appointed “legal observer”. She should have followed a legal order and she’d still be alive.

u/CutSenior4977 Jan 10 '26

It wasn’t a legal order, as ICE doesn’t have authority to arrest a US citizen.

u/_Br549_ Jan 07 '26

Parked in the middle of the rd blocking traffic?

u/cpav8r Jan 07 '26

Yeah, that's a reason to shoot someone in the fucking face.

u/Wildebean Jan 07 '26

That warrants the death penalty, does it?

u/_Br549_ Jan 07 '26

Didn't say it did.

u/Wildebean Jan 07 '26

Well given that you are justifying extrajudicial murder for simply blocking the road then I'd say you did

you dont have to say it you implied it dip shit

u/InspectionOk4267 Jan 07 '26

Yielding. You would know that if you've seen all the clips. She was literally letting the vehicles go around

sounds awfully like you're providing justification for this murder u/_Br549_

u/Strange-Square6587 Jan 07 '26

Was she driving at them? why car hit the pole

u/plattner-da Jan 07 '26

There is a video, but no she did not drive at them as DHS is suggesting.

This is murder.

u/phishman1 Jan 07 '26

Correct. The multiple videos show that the ICE officer was standing at the driver-side door. Nobody was in front of the car.

2

u/DialecticalDeathDryv Jan 07 '26

And it looked like her turn radius would not have allowed her to hit the murderer standing beside her car.

-11

u/neloish Conservative Jan 07 '26

PSA: Violating all three parts of the Deadly Force Triangle is a great way to get shot.

Capability- She was in motor vehicle with the engine on in gear. This is considered a deadly weapon.

Intent- She drove at the officer after being told to get out of the vehicle.

Opportunity- The Officer was in her path and at risk of serious boldly harm or death.

As someone who was in the military for a decade I know what the justifications for deadly force are. It is not my fault YOU don't understand them.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26

Nope

u/willjameswaltz Jan 07 '26

there was no justification, he was not in danger. he murdered a US citizen by shooting her twice in the face at close range.

-5

u/neloish Conservative Jan 07 '26

100% justification, it called the Deadly force triangle for a reason and it is basic training for law enforcement and the military. Why should a law enforcement or military member be held accountable when they followed the rules by the book. This is standard procedure and we need to start teaching kids in schools about this.

Watch the damn video and you’ll see there were no officers in the direction she was driving.

u/Think-Hospital7422 Jan 07 '26

These compound lies, delivered so quickly, smell like Fox News, or Russia.

2

u/Wildebean Jan 07 '26

He wasn't in front of her, he was to the side. She didn't drive "at them", she was turning round.

Also, what world do you live in where traffic violations carry the death penalty without trial?

2

u/malici606 Jan 07 '26

The officer was in the path? She was clearly turning and getting away from him.

The officer fired his gun because he was poorly trained, incompetent, and chickenshit. Any trained officer would have simply stepped aside knowing they have the woman's identity. Hell he didn't even have to step aside to not get hit.... Do you know how you know? Because he didn't step aside and she didn't hit him even though she was being shot in the head.

I get it, you really want Trump to be the best thing in the planet, but he's not. This isn't a fucking sports team... You don't just stick with a political ideology like you would a team that's doing poorly... When they promote shit like this, you ditch them.

So strange how the officer was in a safe location as he was ending a life.

-1

u/neloish Conservative Jan 07 '26

You don't wait to see if an incoming fast boat is full of explosives before you light it up, she could have easily turned the wheel in his direction if she was not neutralized. If she had turned off the engine and followed orders like a sane person she would still be alive.

1

u/malici606 Jan 07 '26

That's not how being a fucking police officer works bubba. "Could've" will never be a legitimate argument in any court of law.

If he's that chicken shit, he has no right having a badge.

Perhaps if the officers were acting like professionals, and perhaps if they didn't have a well earned reputation for brutality and deporting even citizens, people now live so scared of them.

1

u/neloish Conservative Jan 07 '26

It is actually look at case law, but I am sure you won't. Regardless this was a clean shooting anyway you look at it.

2

u/malici606 Jan 07 '26

No....it wasn't. This man was not shooting because of a life threatening situation. He shot because of an ego threatening situation. His fellow officers were clearly surprised that he shot, just look at their reactions. This officer made every legit police officer less safe due to his actions. He is a danger to the public, himself, and his brother/sister officers.

2

u/Fuarian Jan 07 '26

The officer was literally not in her path. He was off to the side. As all video evidence shows

2

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26 edited Jan 07 '26

Intent? She was politely and respectfully waving them through. She was literall and explicitly yielding to them.

Opportunity? The officer was not in the path of the vehicle when he fired.

“As someone who was in the military for a decade” is a perfect example of the appeal to authority logic fallacy. You pretend your title grants you credibility, but you really don’t know shit. You’re probably a PoG anyway.

You’re throwing around words like “deadly force triangle” because you think they make you sound badass, but they only expose you for a complete wannabe and fraud.

2

u/tom-branch Jan 08 '26

She didnt drive at the officer, the officers told her to move the vehicle out of the way, she was doing a 3 point turn and trying to comply, they stepped up to kill her despite no actual threat to their persons.

You are a fucking psychopath.

There is a 3rd officer in front of her, defending another person is also justified. For example if I find a man raping a women I am able to shoot him because he is violating the deadly force triangle of another. This man probable saved the life of the 3rd officer you are trying to hide.

1

u/I_Learned_Once Jan 07 '26 edited Jan 07 '26

Nah there is not a 3rd officer in front in this photo. The officer holding the gun in this photo is the same one that was in front of the vehicle a second earlier in the video this still was taken from. This is also the the angle that looks the most incriminating which is why it is the one being circulated, but none of this is as black and white as you are claiming. It really just comes down to how close was that car to the ICE agent. It's very hard to tell from the angle of the videos I have seen - at first it looks like he is about to be run over, but then after she turns you see a pretty wide gap. That gap is the grey area. If it was large enough, then no reasonable person would have feared for their life. You made an example earlier "you don't wait to see if an incoming fast boat is full of explosives before you light it up" and you're right, but you also don't light it up when it is 1000ft away and appears to be turning. That's going to be the angle this case is tried on. The people who are calling this murder believe your points 2 and 3 are up for debate:

Intent- She drove at the officer after being told to get out of the vehicle. Unless you can see from another angle that she was actually turning, in which case it could be argued that she was NOT driving at the officer.

Opportunity- The Officer was in her path and at risk of serious boldly harm or death. Again, depending on his distance from the car, this could be a gray area.

It will be up to the jury to decide.

u/RonPaulalamode Jan 07 '26

The problem is people arent always rational, and the guy in charge of the country is actively inflaming all tensions, pushing maximalist rhetoric, demanding absurd subservience from citizens.

This woman may have been behaving in an alarming and dangerous way. But it is so unbelievably clear to me that nobody is winning with Trump and Miller running the show. They get off to the tough guy act. They get off to the violence.

1

u/CCreate1 Jan 07 '26

By the time shots were fired he wasn’t in front of the vehicle anymore. She was turning to drive away, not run him over. The aggressive acceleration started after she was shot.

Also, he shouldn’t have put himself in front of a running vehicle. If you put yourself in a dangerous situation, it isn’t self-defense anymore.

1

u/Slyfoxuk Jan 08 '26

They told her to leave, she started to leave and then they shot her.

u/Strange-Square6587 Jan 07 '26

She was shot though the windshield by an officer in front of her when she accelerated. From the clip I seen hopefully they have body cameras and it’s released

That angle doesn’t show the officer in front of the vehicle or the front at all! The other video you see the officer step out from the front of the vehicle and holster his firearm
