Wut?

Hey @thegeneral, it looks like she didn't spin out into that spot. More info.

Portland mayor calming down the rhetoric and urging peace until we learn more. Not.

Mark, please get the memo: only far right MAGA posts dangerous rhetoric. The Lefties post the truth, comrade!

Sorry, it's been hard to track discussion in multiple threads when I haven't been sitting here non-stop.

In case there is any doubt that she was there checking out the weather, she was actively working to make ICE's job harder. Not saying that justifies being shot, but she probably didn't spin out and park sideways by accident.

I didn't say she should be shot for pestering them all day. In fact I said earlier that such footage might help make a case that the agents were on tilt. The question you asked was why I thought she was obstructing. I said (somewhat facetiously, I'll dumb it down): because she drove down with her wife to participate in protests, and she was parked sideways in the middle of the street with her wife out of the car recording her in a location where ICE was active. Then I asked your theory. You said maybe she spun out, right after laughing about ICE having weather issues, and it just happened to be where ICE was working. Is that your story? Did her wife get propelled from the car during the spinout and her phone accidentally recorded? Then she woke up just as she was shocked to see ICE noticing her?

I had forgotten why I don't like to engage with you; you don't actually engage, you just type the next talking point in your list. Carry on.

Depends. Are local city authorities assisting them, or helping illegal aliens hide and escape? Are upper middle class Lefties driving in to obstruct them? Like you said, they have a lot on their plate.

Just a hunch. That, or she regularly parks sideways in the middle of the street, and her wife videos her sitting in the sideways car in the middle of the street. Do you have an alternative explanation for her parking methodology?

That seems like a "room for improvement" for him.

I'm sure there was incompetence at play. Hopefully it can be something of a teachable moment. Speaking of teachable moments: it would be nice if the Left would learn that "protesting" does not involve parking sideways in the middle of a street to obstruct ICE activities. Unfortunately, during the 3 months of the Summer of Love we taught them that they could take over sections of cities with impunity (with which I'm sure you are quite familiar), so it might be a hard habit to break.

True, but he didn't. Perhaps he thought she saw him there. Even if not, that's a question of tactics prior to the shooting (and I've heard different opinions here regarding what is acceptable or prescribed behavior in that case). Unless you are saying he saw her lurch backwards and said to himself "self, if she comes forward I'm going to shoot her in the face!" Which, as I said, is a theory.

I don't think shooting the person necessarily makes it safer, but I also don't think he was thinking about that. He had a split second and appeared to start drawing about when the SUV launched forward. To me, Occam's Razor says he said "focccckkkk!!!!!!", drew his gun, shot, leapt, hell he would have thrown his shoe if he could have, but it all happened in a fraction of a second. This would be supported by what I've also heard (but haven't confirmed) that he had had some sort of traumatic experience being dragged behind a car in another situation? If true, maybe he shouldn't have been out there in the first place, but that seems more the responsibility (accountability?) of his management. The alternative theory which seems to be proposed by the ICE lovers here, is that he saw the SUV lurch forward and said to himself "self, here is my chance to shoot this lady in the face!" I think that's a little too much evil to assign to a split second decision, but I guess it's a possibility.

They had Saddam Hussein's stash all along!!! Sorry man, you are all over the place here. My analogy is bad because ICE isn't trained well. Or evil. Or both! And you don't think a federal trial would be fair because, clearly, you represent an impartial Minneapolis resident. But to your point, I also heard that they can move it to a federal case. I also heard they could do the same with the inevitable civil suit. The obvious way this will play out is that the officer won't get the electric chair, and you and your fellow sky screamers will scream bias because it is so obvious from a hi-def slo-mo recording that the 5000 lb projectile missed him by 6 inches$#@!
