Pretty bold move to have all the doors locked and then erratically maneuver away. As a rule I never bring my car anywhere near a protest, no matter how benign it looks. Once I went to a political event and I parked a mile away just to be safe. Everyone else had eggs thrown at their parked cars but my car was safe lol. Paranoia is my default.
People who protest need to think what their exit plan is going to be. Are you going to comply with law enforcement or are you going to resist arrest? If you're going to speed off in a huge SUV to resist arrest then are you sure you aren't going to hit anyone? I thought that activist groups planned security procedures and generally accept that there's going to be a few people arrested?
You fell for the propaganda and slurped it right up like good cattle.
She wasn't a protestor or even AT a protest.
She had just dropped her kid at school and her partner elsewhere.
She was part of a line of traffic that was CAUSED by a protest.
MODERN CARS LOCK THEIR DOORS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN DRIVEN
My bad. My piece of shit Mazda 2 doesn't lock the doors when driving, I have to reach and lock all 4 of them manually before I drive.
Partner or wife or whatever, but that woman was there too. She told ICE that they don't change their license plates every morning, and the license plate would be the same when ICE/police catch up with them later. So what was that about? They seem to have a huge problem with ICE, I find it hard to believe that they weren't activists. Show me the news articles that you're reading, or any videos prior to the incident.
Every person thats not a fascist has a problem with ICE
What are you talking about? Hasn’t the victim just dropped her kid off at school?
I don't know. Was it reported that ICE was searching directly outside a school? I'm just going based off the video.
The video that the murderer took on his cell phone?
Then sit down and Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Erratic? She backed up, clearly turned the wheel away from the officers, and only once the car was fully turned away and no officer was directly in front anymore did she accelerate. The officers were never in any danger.
When you’re only like…a half-developed human, do you know it? Like, how aware are you that you’re not operating on the same level as other grown adults?
pushes up glasses Pretty bold move to have all the doors locked and then erratically maneuver away.
What a dweeb.
And for these actions she deserved to be shot in the head by the gestapo.…
It can't be morally justified but nobody should be shocked when it gets legally justified. I'm as disgusted as anyone that ex-army people get hired as cops, and that policing itself is basically militarised, where if a person moves their hand slightly then they get killed. Nothing will change and I'm just going to enjoy the polarisation from outside the US. It's not clear to me why ICE would randomly order a person from their car unless the person was blocking traffic or ICE vehicles. The shooting part I get, it's America so I'm not surprised given that it happens all the time, but I can't tell what happened prior to this killing. Unless there is a news article or video to add context and show was filmed prior to the videos we've seen so far, then I can't say exactly what led to this.
Hypothetically, what actions would make shooting a civilian in the head acceptable?
Because you say it can’t be morally justified, but seem really keen to move blame away from the murderer and onto the woman who was surrounded by armed men.
Bootlickers know only one thing.
Answering you would qualify you as a worthy contributor to the discussion. I'm just here to tell you that you disgust me.
Dude. Woman in the chicago area had seven holes put in her because she was stuck in the same traffic as ice. They regularly threw tear gas out their cars while driving by. There is little you can do when under assault like this except move to a saner country but some folks don't want to abandon the us military to come to the shores of the country they retreat to.
