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!

It's murder. Cold blooded execution.

[-] bear 52 points 4 months ago

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.

Someone shared a closer view on Reddit. Utterly sickening. He could easily have stepped to the side in the time it took him to square in front of the care, aim, and fire into her face.

[-] northernlights@lemmy.today 32 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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)

[-] grue@lemmy.world 45 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[-] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 36 points 4 months ago

The media is owned. They're attempting to normalize this.

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 months ago

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.

Officers were never endangered. She was killed because the government gave that goon the opportunity and because the president radicalized him.

[-] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 4 months ago

I can guarantee the ICE agent is going to say he felt like his life was in danger, because she was accelerating towards him. The fact that he actively walked in front of her car and created that situation will conveniently be left out.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 months ago

I hate that so many videos only ever get posted to fucking Twitter. Fuck that site, and fuck the people who exclusively post things there.

Literal fucking Nazi scum... I hate this fucking country and like 40% of the people in it...

[-] yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

32% were in favor of this regime. 37% were indifferent. Only 31% voted against.

So closer to 70% of people.

[-] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

If the Harris campaign cared about law enforcement violence they did a dogshit job of communicating it to anyone

Here's to hoping at some point in the future we get candidates that won't blow winnable races like her team did

The lesson to take away here is that you should treat EVERY interaction with ICE as if you are dealing with a hostile military presence. She should never have stopped her car in the first place.

[-] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 47 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Seems like waiting to interact with a hostile militant force is also the wrong idea. Seems like that hostile force needs to be actively run out of town.

[-] runiq@feddit.org 66 points 4 months ago

Multiple times.

From Reddit, photo of the agent just after he shot her:

ICE agent

Edit: Now identified as Jonathan Ross, murderer, by the Star Tribune.

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 62 points 4 months ago

He also fled the scene after.

[-] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 50 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Weird behaviour for a brave man simply defending himself against an unarmed woman.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 55 points 4 months ago

Somebody who doesn't like this guy (and, let's face it there will be a lot of people who think this guy is a shit head) should definitely name and shame this murderer.

I wonder if civil war is the Big Orange Turd's endgame here, unleashing these rabid dogs among the populace.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

That is precisely the idea, it’s why they keep federalizing NG troops to stand around and look menacing without actually doing anything

every single ICE agent should be treated in the exact same manner

edit: after seeing the video, this is overwhelming evidence that any american citizen can and should fight back against these domestic terrorists on sight

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 47 points 4 months ago

I have been noticing the increased anger with people's posts online, myself included. I just said yesterday that it feels like a tipping point and it's not gonna take much to start the riots. This event feels like a heavy hand on the scale pushing everyone over the edge. I hope it's not and we can continue the peaceful protests. But I don't blame anyone for taking a stand.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 39 points 4 months ago

The time for peaceful protests ended a long time ago.

[-] ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 29 points 4 months ago

For real. I don't understand how no ICE officers have been shot by a bystander yet. Or at least met with a Black Panthers style armed militia of some kind at least.

Where is the shooter and his accomplices? Have then been detained or neutralized? Have they even been named?

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 39 points 4 months ago

The shooter jumped into a different vehicle and took off.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I hate to think it, but part of me was cynically glad, in the knowledge that they'd killed someone, that they targeted a pretty white woman.

If anything is going to sway more people to the correct side, it's ICE gunning down a pretty white woman. Even the Nazis get upset when you gun down a pretty white woman.

There are unconfirmed reports that a civilian was injured in the incident, with Minneapolis Ward 8 City Council representative Soren Stevenson writing on social media the shooting involved an observer, a volunteer who documents ICE activity during operations and raids.

People at the scene told our crews a woman was shot while she was in a car, which then appears to have crashed into a parked vehicle.

[-] MonsterMonster@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

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.

Just think about all the people that would still be alive in the past year if not for 1 persons actions.

Now the protestors were rioters and the victim was trying to run over officers and she was shot four times in the face 'defensively' 🙄🙄🙄

12:14 p.m. | Minnesota activates emergency ops center

The State Emergency Operation Center has been activated. For reference, this is the multi-agency team that crops up during major incidents. You'll remember it from the post-George Floyd murder

11:50 a.m. | ICE says agent, ‘fearing for his life’, kills protester

Federal authorities say an ICE agent, “fearing for his life” killed a woman during a confrontation Wednesday in south Minneapolis.

City officials are expected to speak at 12:15 p.m.

The ICE statement says, in part:

“Today, ICE officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers and one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.

“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.

“He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.

“The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased. Thankfully, the ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries.”

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 4 months ago

We have to presume that the police's version, and especially ICE's version, is lies. They're just enjoying murdering people because it makes them feel big.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, saying, “While for the safety of our officers we do not get into law enforcement footprint, DHS has surged law enforcement and has already made more than 1,000 arrests of murderers, rapists, pedophiles and gang members.” Hmm, I await the specific charges, outcome of the trials against these criminals. And note that this group is probably far less likely to be "murderers, rapists, and pedophiles" than the current Executive Branch of the US. Perhaps Secy McLaughlin will clarify this matter for us.

It was murder. Don't let them spin the narrative.

Cold blooded murder in broad daylight.

[-] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Too many Americans feel like having Temu Gestapo is kind of okay, maybe even necessary. It's not like they got some random foreign mercenaries to work at ICE, these are Americans, often with families who fully condone it. The fish rots from the head but here a good chunk of the base was always rotten.
