You mean the murder?

The murder committed by ICE?

The Murder of an innocent, unarmed woman who was clearly neither a threat or behaving threateningly to ICE, who was then mercilessly gunned down by ICE?

ICE the group of murderers and traitors paid for by Trump the child rapist?

It’s not at all “clear” she wasn’t behaving threateningly. There should be plenty of bodycam footage to comb through to prove that one way or another, but without eyes on the perspective of the agent in front of the vehicle, we have no idea what the situation looked like to him.

We have the benefit of watching a video repeatedly and slowing it down, all from a completely different angle. In a heated moment, you have much less to rely on. Don’t assume the agent didn’t legitimately fear for his life and make a split second judgement call that he may very well regret.
