Anyone who watched the video knows that.

Here's a shower thought I had over how stupid this situation is: Had she actually tried to run him over, there is a chance she would still be alive today.

Here's another shower thought: Some say that if the ICE agent feared for his life his actions are justified. But nobody seem to care that the soccer mom who was just coming back from dropping her kid to school was also fearing for her life when some ICE officer aggressively tried to open her car door. And also why should we tolerate ICE agents carelessly creating avoidable situations where innocent bystanders fear for their life to begin with? Sometimes those situations are downright created purposefully to give themselves a pretext power trip over people, even up to shooting someone and it looks like it could be the case there.

Yes, it's all bad faith arguments to try to have an appearance of legitimacy. The simple truth is they think they have every right to murder anyone who doesn't support them.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, they're not. They can get away with it, yes, but they absolutely have no right.

[–] almost1337@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For all practical matters, the rule of law in the US has been suspended in favor of the rule of force.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Absolutely. But it's illegitimate nonetheless. They have neither the legal nor moral right to murder people, only the means to get away with it.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Being right about something and having rights are two different things.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

After seeing HIS video, I think he did it because her wife pissed him off.

Not blaming the wife at all so don’t misunderstand.

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Also, Republicans have advocated that drivers should be able to run over protestors blocking roads. Even if she did hit him, I think running over a masked armed man in the road should be even more justifiable than running over protestors.

You're absolutely spot on at all points and apparently take quite long showers 😁

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 76 points 2 days ago (3 children)

New video that appears to have been captured by the shooter himself (who can be seen holding a phone in other videos when he shoots her):

https://www.instagram.com/reels/DTTLLYekf-W/

This is unambiguous murder.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 57 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Omg, her last words were "I'm not mad at you"

He literally walked in front of her car, basic training would have told him that is the worst thing you can do when attempting to deal with a driver. Someone needs to take these fucks out.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (4 children)

You think any of these brown shirt chucklefucks have ANY training? Other than “this is the killy end of the gun.”

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That guy had worked for ICE for 10 years, should be enough to work some stuff out on his own.

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

De got dragged by a car he tried to break into to arrest someone less than a year ago, if that didn't teach them I don't think anything will.

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Learning from history? Not exactly on-brand with these guys.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 days ago

I think he learned, just not what decency would have informed him.

I'd be shocked if they could claim fifth-grade English on their résumé.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

That is sadly only slightly under the median level of adult reading literacy

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure that’s not in the training either. They just hope they’ll figure that out and so far so good.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I don't think they even get that

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago

He was previously dragged by a car during a similar scenario like a month ago. That's how he was identified. He's clearly doing it on purpose just to give himself cover/"justification" to do this. And someone let this Dipshit swap out his Taser for a gun.

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He literally walked in front of her car, basic training would have told him that is the worst thing you can do when attempting to deal with a driver.

He's apparently been hit by a car before, so he seems incapable of learning a lesson. Clearly ICE isn't getting the brightest and best.

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

In the BBC video you can see how he shows her a phone, then suddenly it’s a gun.

Also after killing her does he say “fucking bitch”?

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago

Yes he does.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I think he may have been calling the wife that. She was interacting with him outside the car and I think it pissed him off so he killed the driver to get at the wife.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

No it’s the gestapo fuck who grabbed her door handle to try and drag her out and beat her.

[–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Can’t watch without an instagram account. Any alternatives anyone knows?

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

If you're on a phone, there's a "X" hidden way up in the top right. I don't have an account and I was able to watch it. They just make it seem like you have to sign up or get the app first.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

You can, gotta hit hidden X, top right

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't understand why his gun was drawn with safety off in the first place... he was looking to kill someone.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

And he made sure to record the entire time, I can't tell if he recorded her after but when he could be seen walking away after checking her body his camera was still open on his phone, I wouldn't doubt he was itching to get footage of himself murdering a woman.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Do guns still have safties? Was that ever a real thing? I've only fired like 8 guns but not a single had a "safety".

Sorry, what i mean by this is, if you draw and itvis likely ready to fire. Dawing a weapon to then have to pull or push a switch is not a thing I've witnessed.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

Some do. IDK about the one he was using though.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

...that's because he wasn't run over

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

The objective fact says that. Stop acting like these appeals to authority are valid arguments. All that does is allow propagandists to argue the other side and claim to be an authority.

[–] superkong47@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

And he’s absolutely correct, that ice agent is a murderous cunt and he’ll get his

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Wouldn't there be injuries if he was run over? Also, how can you be on your phone and doing this job, which could see a gun in your other hand?! That should count against him.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Not even close. He needs to be prosecuted to the fullest.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Good job watching the videos
