There are two narratives, she was either trying to get away, which all of the evidence, at the very least, suggests.

Or, she was intent on trying to run down the agent, which absolutely no evidence corroborates.

By all means, if there was any evidence, outside of their subjective opinion, that proved her intent was to kill him, I would back that asshole up 100%, even if he did violate numerous ICE policies. However, since none has been brought forward and local authorities have been cut out of the investigation, that’s pretty damning if they are still trying to push the self defense narrative.

This is why it’s partisan, because those that oppose their disgusting narrative, have been cut out of the loop that would allow them to prove as much. It also guarantees that evidence can’t be tampered with when all parties have access to it.

Her last words (smiling) "I'm not mad at you."

His next words after firing "Fucking bitch."

Total deplorable.

Bingo

One of the narratives doesn't mention that she was there specifically as an agitator, that she had moments of resisting just before. Does that excuse the shooting? No, of course not, but it changes the picture.

The other narrative seems to think that since they're frustrated with immigration, militarized response is a reasonable solution.

Some folks seem to think that the agent went up to the car and shot someone in the head out of the blue. Most of the people that see that narrative don't realize that there are videos that support the self-defense motive. I've seen them.

(I don't necessarily believe them - or the others, for that matter - because I'm not sure how to verify any of it.)

In general liberals don't understand why there's any support at all for ICE. I think they attribute it to bigotry, but it's at least partly because they don't see many of the stories that conservatives see.

Trump supporters see stories of an 8yo killed by an immigrant who had been previously been arrested for DUIs and somehow was still 1) not behind bars and 2) in the US. They don't understand why the media is focused on an adult agitator rather than an innocent child so they conclude that liberals are heartless and manipulative and somehow miss that state violence is a different beast altogether.

From all of the evidence I have seen, it was her wife that was agitating the ICE goon and when he broke SOP by pulling out his cell phone and recording, I saw and heard the driver say she would cooperate with them.

Then, after he walked all the way around the van again and stood in front of the vehicle (another violation of SOP) while his ICE goon buddy approached the car and tried to forcefully remove her. When he realized the door was locked, he tried reaching and that is when she put the van in reverse, first turning the wheel to the left, the throwing it into drive and fully turning the wheel to the right and began to accelerate.

None of this is conjecture, you can literally see it on the video, but this is when MAGA began to distort what actually happened to suit their narrative. Trump said she ran him over and dragged him down the street, which clearly didn’t happen, that’s why he fired. Dress up Barbie tried to say due to PTSD from a previous incident where he was dragged down the street, essentially telling everyone who the agent was 🤦🏻‍♂️, and that was her interpretation of why he fired. So, the president outright lied to try and justify it and Noem spun a PTSD narrative to try and justify it, two completely different opinions not backed up by anything that can be proven, especially since both statements were made even before her body went cold. And while subjective, that clearly showed me what their narrative was.

It’s been said that she was impeding a federal investigation, yet you can clearly see a vehicle driving around her fairly easily, so I am not buying that either. Also labeling her a domestic terrorist to try and justify it when it was simply one person exercising her first amendment right. If anyone is the terrorist, it’s the agent, given that are literally terrorizing civilians as an excuse to get to people they assume are here illegally.

Ok, so, back to the video and what we can actually prove. Did she bump him when she tried to get away, possibly but that’s because he was practically sitting on her hood (again, a violation of SOP), if he was standing even one foot back, it never would’ve touched him. That’s giving him the benefit of the doubt, even if I personally think he wasn’t touched at all. He then proceeds to fire three shots at a moving vehicle (another SOP violation), killing her.

As far as the narrative that everyone who is resisting ICE is doing it to protect alleged undocumented immigrants, that’s nonsense as well. No one is saying undocumented people should be allowed to stay here, what we are saying is that we will not stand for these Gestapo style raids, whether or not they are undocumented or whatever, does not give them the authority to treat them like dogs while stepping all over their rights.

There is absolutely no oversight and most of them aren’t even properly trained, so it’s not really a surprise that this happened. This is what Trump wants, division and internal fighting. He figures if we are fighting each other we will be distracted from the illegal shirt he has been doing. I honestlyDGAF about the Epstein files, those are the least of my concerns when it comes to Cheeto Hitler.

I will say, it has been nice being able to have a civilized conversation, trying to have one with MAGA is an exercise in futility. I would have a better chance of having an intellectual conversation with a grapefruit, so, thank you for that.✌🏻
