ICE shoots Minneapolis protester who seemed to be trying to ram them, leftists try to create a new George Floyd

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.

Suicide by cop always was a dumbass idea. We’ve got broads defending foreign latino lovers invaders falling for it now.

Lest anyone think female drivers don't try to run over cops, here's a video of a woman intentionally driving into a police officer while accelerating. He was injured but fortunately not killed due to a snowbank.

“that’s twice the same guy has been hit by SUVs”
*************************************

Apparently that particular agent is none too bright. Placing himself in front of the car went against his formal training and if he did it twice well he’s an idiot.

It seems to me that people don't care about the Left's outrage anymore.

If she was black, maybe. She a whitety

[central_va]

Please don’t tempt me. Your post was hate speech for intelligent Freepers.

[jimwatx]

I’ve yet to ever see you say anything intelligent concerning this. You are taking the simpleminded view that since she’s an annoying leftist and law enforcement is always in the right everything must be her fault. Well I don’t think those jurors are going to look kindly on those last 2 shots that cam from the side after the vehicle was already moving past him and presented no danger. Video shows she was making a hard right turn to escape and not intentionally trying to kill him.

Several years ago there was a shooting like this in the Tri Cities in Washington. The perp had been chased from Richland into Kennewick where he pulled into a parking lot and stopped. An officer on a motorcycle parked his bike within inches of the rear bumper, while other officers were standing near the drivers door yelling at him to stop and shut off his car. The guy put it in park and the car rocked backwards and bumped tge tire of the motorcycle.

The motorcycle officer then fired 3 rounds that hit the left roof pillar, then he walked up to the driver’s window and shot him the driver several times even though the the other officers standing close to the driver never reacted to bumping incident.

It was ruled justified.

It’s real hard to see the tires when being physical rammed by a vehicle. Take your silly opinions over to Reddit where you fit in.

There’s a zot in your future.

[central_va]

Have you seen the video where YOU CAN SEE THE SUV HITTING THE BRAVE, OUTSTANDING AND HEROIC ICE AGENT?

[SMARTY]

"...seemed to be..." ?????????

If anyone ELSE pulled a stunt like that with a pedestrian (in or out of uniform) it would be attempted murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asked her to exit the vehicle she refused and put the vehicle in motion.

[jimwatx]

I’m sure the officer in question wasn’t looking at nor saw the direction of her tires as he was staring at her face. But you would think that this low IQ clown would have the sense not to place himself in front of ANOTHER car after already being previously clipped by an SUV. This cowboy directly ignored the formal training he was given and will now suffer the consequences for that.

Here is video from another angle. She did hit him.

Protester drives into ICE officer, is shot.

Do you have a link?

You have to look closely closely in the first few seconds to see the officer get struck by the vehicle. In all the available videos you can see him hobbling after being struck by the vehicle. He was treated at a hospital and released.

Here where I live, a police officer was just acquitted, for the same type of scenario. Look up Conner Grub and Ta’kiya Young. She was black, pregnant, and shoplifting from a Kroger’s liquor store. This agent better get the same result, if they try to charge him with a crime.

$600.00 worth of liquor !!

Her go fund me got 370K.. so there’s a lot of stupid and butthurt going on, and that has to be a record for a white criminal.

[subterfuge]
