Live updates: Frey, Walz dispute that ICE killed woman in self-defense
www.mprnews.org
ICE officials say the woman was shot and killed Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis after attempting to run over agents with her car. Mayor Jacob Frey called ICE’s version of what happened “garbage.” Gov. Tim Walz also challenged that narrative. He’s expected to speak shortly.

I don’t even know what else to add to this headline. This is so fucked up and tragic scary and infuriating and it will in no way slow the resistance.

    “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. JFC!

      shot her in the face like three, four times

      The picture in the article shows one bullet hole in the windshield. Still murder ofc.

      (also it’s weird that the article only quotes the point of view of ICE, not the witnesses)

        The hole was pretty far off to the right, very possible the dipshit couldn’t even aim point blank and only managed to get one shot through the windshield despite multiple fired.

        That’s because the other shots were from the side, not the front. Because the murderer wasn’t actually in the path of the car.

        Video is posted to Bluesky. The agent walks up to her car window and starts shooting almost immediately. One through the windshield the others through the driver’s side window.

        I think it’s a viable strategy for Trump. Just kill one of the people standing up every time, and pretty soon Americans won’t show up anymore.

        If Americans start shooting back, then you roll in the military and make an example.

        I hate this timeline.

          and pretty soon Americans won’t show up anymore.

          We really should stop showing up. Stop showing up to work. Stop showing up to buy things. Stop showing up to sign up for the military. Stop reproducing.

          That doesn’t really work. If you know history, that is usually the beginning of the end for them. It only breeds hatred and resentment. If they start shooting people then people will actually stand up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case where the authorities shoot a fairly large number of people and the people don’t rise up and fight back. They may not win, but it pretty much always leads to a fight, not just rolling over.
