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.

    I just listened to a US politician on LBC radio trying to defend the ICE action. He claimed to have watched the video 20 times and said it was clear the driver was trying to run over the agent. I’ve just watched it and it’s clear the front wheels were turned well to the right avoiding the agent who walk across the front of the vehicle. If anything the driver was deliberately avoiding the agent.

    Sad times USA.

      Straight up 1984 “don’t believe your eyes” bullshit. The woman clearly turns the wheels and what’s to get away. So they just murder her.

      Reminds me of that video from a few weeks ago of that cop ACTUALLY trying to run over a teenager and driving over grass and stuff to do it. Things are so messed up right now.

      A group of men with guns surrounded her car and she fucking panicked. It’s not surprising she attempted to flee, it doesn’t take that much brain power to know to never use your body to stop a car and even the police would never use their bodies to stop a fuckin car.

      There was no verbal warning, there was no negotiation with her. Nothing. She got murdered because she didn’t comply. Fucking pigs.
