In other words, she was doing the kind of thing they do to random people all day long. Knowing how cops feel, it was probably an ordinary traffic jam.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were “rammed by 10 cars” and “boxed in.” Agents then fired “defensive shots” when they discovered the woman “was armed with a semi-automatic weapon” while driving one of the cars, McLaughlin said.

I'm sure the ones firing were excited at the thought of being able to shoot people.

And really their excuse is we just defensively shot when going around the city to kidnap people

Feds suddenly think posession of assault weapon is against federal law

Sounds like DHS spokespeople are playing too much grand theft auto.

They attempted to murder someone in a car accident. If 10 cars were involved, she was probably pushed into their car by someone behind her. So the cops arrested the suspected federal agent for attempted murder, right? NOPE! Cops are not on your side. Ever.

Without their cars, they are 100% useless. That's why they freaked out and started shooting when they thought that they were immobilized.

Spike strips stop cars. Nobody on the south side can slash a tire? WTF?!?
