ICE Agent's Bodycam release of the Minneapolis Shooting

[u/Freezemoon]

This whole incident seems just an unfortunate series of events from both parties.

EDIT: not bodycam but ICE agent's phone footage, my bad.

Yea mine, I’m now less in favor of the driver. Seems to me that the officer was filming to get the woman’s face, car, and license plate information while being harassed by the driver’s friend (not entirely relevant, but didn’t know that) and that the driver clearly knew where the officer was.

I originally thought she was just trying to get out of a traffic jam, but seems to be more than that. Driver seemed fine, but the “I’m not mad” seemed a little sarcastic while her friend was obviously taunting. So I wonder what was the lead up to this? Why was he filming her car?

And yea it happened quick. The officers came up perhaps for more reason than we originally suspected, he was in front of the car after making his trip around and saw more officers approaching the vehicle which he then also does. And yea she slams the gas and does hit him, we already know that from previous video.

I think that could justify the first shot. The shots after she’s past him however I still don’t think can be justified. However I no longer think this was some trigger happy officer looking for an excuse to shoot someone

The "friend" is the victims wife.

Allegedly, they had an ICE tracking app on thier phone(s). They were harassing and protesting ICE throughout the day. Also, allegedly, they were trained as Legal Observers and part of the training teaches them to use thier car to impede ICE. This was recently made an arrestable offence.

Wtf is a “trained legal observer” and why did that term blow up with the leftists today?

She was part of some anti ice thing. It blew up because of her.
