You would think Minneapolis's leaders would do all they could to try to salvage their city's riot-prone image in the wake of the George Floyd debacle. But you'd be wrong.
Here's the latest idiocy coming out of what looks like a sad situation for a leftist woman lacking reasonable judgment around police operations, according to the New York Times:
A federal officer shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation Wednesday, as the Trump administration intensified a crackdown on illegal immigration. Details of the shooting remained unclear, with conflicting accounts from local and federal officials.
Tricia McLaughlin, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in a statement that an agent had opened fire after a woman “weaponized her vehicle” in an attempt to kill federal officers. Mayor Jacob Frey called her account “bull----” in a news conference, describing the shooting instead as “an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.”
Well, no, it was not bee ess, and anyone looking at the videos on X can clearly see that it looked like a protester ramming ICE agents in the course of their duties, using her car as a weapon, and an agent or agents firing back through the windshield, which can only be done from the front. To any reasonable observer, that's self-defense, even as it led to an unfortunate ending for the leftist.

The ICE Agent was clearly in front of the car. She used her car as a weapon. Case closed and one less terrorist.

The American Stinker at it again...
The lousy rag is telling me I should not believe my lying eyes...
I meant if the cameras WEREN’T on.....stupid spell correct
It looks like the poets second husband became her first wife.
It’s clear to me based on the videos that she was turning away from the officers, and the officer continued to shoot when he was well off to the side of the vehicle. Maybe body cam footage will provide a fuller picture that fits the officer’s story. Either way, it’s a bad look. Police across the country are trained specifically not to respond like this.
they were trying to get a vehicle out of a snowbank until the moron showed up.. hardly a reason to use body cams digging snow
WLLM? Doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Can’t blame her entirely.
She wasn’t taught better.
Matriculated through a formal school system in kooky Colorado where she was taught there were no painful consequences for criminal and antisocial behavior.
The Somali grifters are wiser than silly white lesbians in that their history tells them when they are confronted with a man of authority with a gun, you stand down.
From the photos I have seen the bullet to the head was straight into the windshield from the front of the vehicle not the side, whatever happened after that doesn’t mean much
The radical leftist politicians need to stop encouraging these mentally ill lefties to break the laws and encumber ICE doing official legal work.
Yep, it really is that simple.
Maybe I'm being naïve here, but I just don't see lesbians getting worked up enough to unleash a wave of burning and looting.
Obama set up BLM, with the protection of Holder's DoJ, specifically to hit the streets in a chosen situation - and George Floyd was chosen.
I don't know which brownshirt group the Left has organized to riot for woke, white lesbians, but if it exists, its certainly no BLM.
All the premade signs are out. How does our govt allow Groups funded by Chinese nationals and George Soros to stoke and instigate anti American protests Inside our own country? I’m seeing premade signs asking people to overthrow this president! How is this allowed? Maybe it’s being allowed because all of our politicians are in on it? It seems like a big inside joke and we aren’t in on the game.
A good point. Also, if the ICE agent had not shot, what would the outcome have been? It seems she was trying to get away rather than hit anyone.
The woman did in fact hit the agent with her SUV; that’s twice the same guy has been hit by SUVs.
Democrats love them some criminals

So much so, they want to become criminals themselves.
From the videos I’ve seen, the officers were detaining Ms. Good (by telling her to get out of the car, trying to open the door and standing in front of it). That means they’re conducting an investigation that could potentially lead to an arrest (of Ms. Good). In that situation, especially with multiple officers involved in the detainment, the body cameras should be on. For everyone’s protection, including the officers.
You are totally misinformed. She was moving towards a federal law enforcement officer. What she was doing in the area was not a protest. You do not use a car in the road as a form of protest. She was a threat pure and simple. She got what she deserved for acting stupid.
Was he hit during the attempted arrest or when she swerved at them when they were trying to get their vehicle unstuck?
lots of police have been killed by people trying to get away in their vehicles after they have been stopped,,
Her fatal mistake was not to have informed the federal officer of her intention and not to have asked him politely to move from the front of her vehicle.. hard to read someone’s mind in a quarter second as a 4 thousand pound SUV jolts straight at you 2 feet away,
