The next two shots were clearly illegal no matter what you claim
Yeah, sure, whatever you say, not really though.
Mark my words: when a real investigation wraps up, the officer will be cleared. Not because I'm some genius, but because basic common sense demands it.
If the first shot is justified, every shot that follows in that split-second frenzy is too. No sane person expects an officer to pause mid-reaction, reassess, and grant a do-over just because a driver might suddenly change her mind. This isn't a video game with respawns; lives hang in the balance, and threats don't come with warnings.
This wasn't some random soccer mom fleeing a DUI stop and catching officers off guard. This woman spent the day weaponizing her vehicle, harassing agents, mirroring the tactics of over a hundred assailants who've deliberately rammed law enforcement, including one who dragged this very officer across pavement six months ago.
Protesters and officers alike know vehicular assaults are rampant now. So when she floored it straight at him, he reacted exactly as trained: instinctively, without luxury of deliberation, pure survival.
Absurd to claim he wanted this, that he relished pulling the trigger on a delusional ideologue brainwashed into viewing dedicated public servants as monsters. Now he carries the lifelong burden of taking a life he never wanted to, through no fault of his own.
The tragedy is real, and it pisses me off, her poisonous delusions, stoked by paid and indoctrinated agitators some of which know better, endangered everyone, her, innocent bystanders, and those ICE agents simply enforcing laws Congress passed.
This is the sick fruit of evil rhetoric that's been repeated constantly all year creating chaos masquerading as some horrible form of social justice. So, who's the real fascist?
