NOTE that the TRUTH is often not always CLEAR and is VERY OFTEN influenced by one's perspective, where one stands and where is the perceiver's head and attitudes and values and assumptions. Duk and Mookie have ONE perspective, and are both heavily influenced by their TDS. (Their TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome) has been apparent for a long time, and I do not recall a specific denial, but perhaps I missed it or forgot it.)
I will present Several facts and allegations here to give the OTHER perspective:
1) The ICE Officer who shot the female protestor was dragged some 500 feet and suffered injuries when a car was driven away and he was badly injured; HE KNOWS the danger a vehicle can do to a Human.
2) I have heard accounts that her partner "egged" ENCOURAGED the driver to INDEED FLEE. I think I already posted that.
3) Videos CLEARLY SHOWS
a) One officer approach the vehicle;
b) I ASSUME he told driver to GET OUT of the vehicle (WHICH she clearly did NOT);
c) Same officer attempts to open the driver's door;
d) driver backs up;
e) driver then goes forward TOWARD the Officer who shot her and he was clearly in the path of the vehicle, UNTIL she pivots;
f) the OFFICER, as is OFTEN the case, has SECONDS to make a life or DEATH decision.

She wasn't attacking anyone.
Just trying to get away.
Duk is WRONG as:
1) She clearly did not get out of the car, when (apparently) ordered to do so by another ICE officer
2) was trying to leave the Scene, FLEE, AFTER SPENDING MOST of the DAY harrassing the ICE officers and trying to be an "ICE WATCH" Activist; (YES, she was trying to get away, now an ILLEGAL acts as she was ordered to GET OUT of the vehicle.) BUT she was NOT "JUST." There is a WHOLE LOT MORE, and the videos I have seen CLEARLY SHOW more that what Duk ALLEGES and, imo, CLEARLY SHOWS that Duk is WRONG.
3) YES, she was trying to get away, AND IN DOING SO, headed RIGHT for the ICE officer who shot to PROTECT himself. (The claim was also made that he feared for other ICE Officers in the area.)
4) The DRIVER DEFINITELY USED her vehicle TO ATTACK the Officer. Driving away is one LIMITED perspective and DRIVING AT THE Officer is DEFINITELY ATTACKING the Officer.
Let me reiterate: She and her partner were harassing the ICE officers MOST of the day and trying to be an "ICE WATCH" Activist. Her vehicle was sideways in the Road. WHY? To block and HARRASS ICE Officer. She was NOT simply an observer; she injected herself into the CONFLICT by:
a) being there,
b) being there to HARASS ICE most of the day,
c) and while attempting to LEAVE FLEE the scene, she went towards that ICE Officer who defended himself by shooting. If you do not want to be arrested, do not overstep the boundaries. SHE DID.
d) If you do not want to get shot, do not threated LEGAL officers doing LEGAL work to arrest ILLEGAL Immigrants. The THREAT is that SHE DROVE HER Vehicle TOWARD the officer.
One report said that ICE officers earlier that day ARREST a CHILD Rapist in Minneapolis, that I assume is also an ILLEGAL Alien. Why does the Left want to ALWAYS defend Criminals, (alleged and/or convicted), and often ILLEGAL aliens?
ConfedSS brought a GREAT POINT in a recent post: Why DID the LEFT NOT making an issue of the officer who shot and killed a protestor on Jan. 6? Simple answer: IT DOES NOT fit their narrative of the EVIL Protestors. BUT the LEFTIST protestors are SAINTS, RIGHT? WRONG.
The woman killed "was trained to confront and block and HARASS ICE Officers" as members of ICE Watch, a leftest protest group. Tell me that she did NOT INSERT herself into the scene and taking actions to IMPEDE Legal actions by officers of the LAW. I posted about that, ALSO already. By inserting herself as she did, she ENDANGERED herself. Her attempt at "peaceful protest" crossed the line when she put her vehicle in the way to BLOCK ICE vehicles. Again, her vehicles is CLEARLY sitting SIDEWAYS in the Road.
I already POSTED on report that her partner BLAMED herself for ENCOURAGING the Dead Woman to do what she did.
Clearly, Duk has a limited perspective, as do I; the same is true for Mookie and everyone else. I present more evidence and arguments than Duk or Mookie.
There are SEVERAL GEMS in the 3 posts by ConfedSS so far in this thread, once you get past the Large and HUGE font and the ellipses. Having read them again, I agree with many of his VALID points and what I call those GEMS.
