No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The insurrection baloney talk only occurred later.
Just a peaceful walk through the Capital, right?

This could have been accidental? Or do you think harm was her intention all along?

It appeared that the officer who fired the shots was videoing on his phone before he pulled his gun so there may be more video
It doesn't look like we're going to be seeing that piece of evidence anytime soon, if ever.

“it was decided that the BCA Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI” and that the “BCA responded promptly to the scene and began coordinating investigative work in good faith.

He said the FBI informed the BCA later Wednesday that the U.S. attorney’s office had changed the plan.

“The investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation,”



It seems odd that U.S. attorney’s office would suddenly change the plan and be against sharing evidence with local investigators. Maybe the evidence doesn't support the government's narritave?

There was never any evidence produced that she wished to harm anyone, but no one knows the intent of someone else, nor is an officer expected to make a psychological evaluation on the spot. If it appears to an officer that his or her life or the lives of others are in imminent danger then the officer is supposed to shoot. "Imminent" is the key word.

I went frame by frame and aligned images by using the sound of the gunshots from two different angles. The video that was taken from a distance makes it appear that the agent was struck by the vehicle, but the one that is closer to the scene doesn't appear to show that he was. Once he walks around to the front of the vehicle, he leans into it drawing his gun when it begins to move forward. This can be seen in the first image below. I circled the gun in yellow and the position of his foot in red. You will notice the wheel of the vehicle is already turned away from the agent as the woman attempts to avoid hitting him. He fires the first shot after his body is clear of the vehicle and the second two after he is no longer in any danger. The bottom images are numbered in the order each shot was fired.

I know in the heat of the moment the agent may have felt he was in danger. He may have even been slightly grazed as the vehicle went past him after putting himself in a position where that could happen, but one thing that is crystal clear from the videos and witness testimonies is that this woman had no intention of hitting anyone, and she was not a domestic terrorist as the Trump administration claims. The statements that were put out by ICE, Noem, and Trump yesterday on what took place were untrue.
slightly grazed=she hit him with her vehicle. May have been slightly grazed = he was ok.
You don't know what they found at the hospital. The officer looks to have a slight limp. He certainly did not "run" after the vehicle.

It does not matter. It matters what she did, and how the officer perceived it. He had been dragged by a vehicle just last year. Had stitches. People can be killed or harmed by being dragged which happens from the side of the vehicle. The officer knew they had already told her to exit the vehicle to be arrested. His hand was in the car. Is this what the officer in front of the car knew? By the time the car pivoted the officer could not tell if anyone was being dragged like he was? Plus she was aiming for him.

It was Trump and Noem who said the agent went to the hospital. Do you have any reliable sources or evidence that that went to a hospital for treatment?

It was another tragedy, as was the insurrection and all the other riots right and left. Our country is now tragic. Our leaders only reflect the constituency. All we see all around us is on us and I don’t see away out. And some want to spread the contamination to other countries in the name of America First.

What us the real root cause? It goes way back. I think tho end of the democratic government experiment is very near because people want a strong man to solve all their problems and dissolve all their fears. But it doesn’t work that way. This shooting is just another symptom of our decadence…decadence with “religious” lipstick.

Do you have any reliable evidence he did not? If you don't then leave it alone.

You're the one that made the claim that he did, so it's on you to provide evidence to back that claim up.

I believe Walz should be asked publicly, what he was saying. Calling out the national guard to control lawbreaking, should speak to controlling these protesters. It was very unclear the purpose of the national guard in his mind. He did emphasize "his", or "our", national guard. It needs to be clarified what "their guard" means, and whom they were to control?

You are the one who has no evidence it is not true. So just leave it alone until the facts are out.

When are people going to learn that law enforcement now. Are not taught to use peaceful means to bring a situation to an end, but they are taught to simply shoot to kill.​

So if you go up against law enforcement you will be killed.

And just like that - every pro-2A "we keep guns to prevent oppressive government from taking over" argument evaporated into thin air like the fantasy it always was.
