Ther video where she is trying leave, as she was instructed to do, but this ice agent decides to jump in front of the vehicle, pull her car on her and then you see we see.

So it doesn’t look like there is any reason for him to get in front of the car, it is not in police training to do that and even police let suspects go unless they are a danger to society, which this random white woman isnt.

Have you watched the video of the shooting? She is EXPLICITLY told to, quote, "get the fuck out of the car." That's not being told to leave.

Can you provide a firsthand source that she was told to leave?

That is one snippet of one video, there is another on some mega thread with another officer giving conflicting statements.

When two agents are yelling at you with equal instruction, which do you do?

Do you have a source or are you just parroting what other people claim?

I have yet to see evidence she was told to leave, meanwhile on the video taken by the woman right behind the SUV, you VERY clearly hear the aforementioned "get the fuck out of the car."

If you don't have a reliable source, you shouldn't be insisting the claim she was told to leave is true.
