Wonder if the feds will follow their Chicago pattern -
  1. File charges.
  2. Dismiss charges.

Great dialog though!

The New York Times pulled all the available video from the shooting and synchronized all the footage into a multi view version that shows the scene in quite some detail.

Video Analysis of ICE Shooting Sheds Light on Contested Moments

Newly available videos and existing footage synchronized and assessed by The Times provide a frame-by-frame look at how an ICE officer ended up shooting and killing a motorist in Minneapolis.

Unfortunately I am unaware if the article is available elsewhere so some may not be able to view it.

Take it for what it’s worth. I found it quite compelling.

The summary: combine overly aggressive militaristic techniques with sloppy execution....and what could go wrong?

Even ICE's own guidelines state that Agents should not step in front of a motor vehicle.

As someone said elsewhere...he could have let her drive away, then followed up as necessary, since they already had her fucking license plate number.

She was a threat to no one.

The other shows "several blocks" closed (we get to see maybe one that shows people being a community, so take their word for the all the other blocks), but by the end of the video with the truck and cars going through, maybe not closed.

Honestly, I don't know who gobbles this up, but a little inspection shows ^^^^^^^^^.

Oh yeah, we don't buy DHS bs anymore--Ross's internal bleeding stopped yet? Too much lying on too many fronts (latest fave is the 6-month-old they gassed when a father was trying to get his children out of the hellscape they're trying to create - https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.../3mcksrvst2c2h)

I haven't seen the Times articled that's linked but I'm guessing it affirms what I said about the direction of Good's front wheels when her wheels spun. Otherwise you'd be on here crowing about me being wrong.

The post above mine is somewhat accurate, if exaggerated. You don't post for long periods. Then often wade into these arguments with posts that are difficult to understand or place into context. I often think I am missing some kind of (somewhat) subtle humor....but you soon discredit that.

Maybe state your opinions more bluntly once in awhile. Then we could actually discuss, rather than snipe.

(meanwhile....I will work on my end, starting with posting more emojis...)

So. Let's get to it, shall we?

Please elaborate a bit on these links that you posted:

Are you...

Defending ICE?

Defending Protesters?

Calling out posters in this thread for particular statements you disagree with?

Or agree with?

Your clarifcations are welcome. Really.

I owe you nothing, but I'll indulge you. My position on the shooting hews closest to Vita's in the thread he started in the political forum. Not exactly, but there's not a lot to quibble with there.
I posted those links for multiple reasons but the fact that you and Siddartha don't get the irony of those clowns in Minnesota setting up check points to control who enters their neighborhood while attacking ICE for doing that on a national level is...illuminating.
