I think this is what the right wing media ecosystem is going to try and play up as exonerating, hoping they can bury the context that he's shooting as the fumbling happens.

Yeah, part of the interaction in this video makes me think they can see how aggravated this guy is, and don't want him coming closer.

I think they are use the impression that the camera jostle is enough to cause confusion, like was hit by the vehicle. Maybe he was, but that's also when he was shooting...

Why is he pulling his gun? Why is he firing to kill? Why did he fire as the car was passing? My questions to anyone who is asking for base line justification. The take away is obviously a stupid racist policy who condone excessive brutality has lead to people being shot and killed.

Thinking about the Bible passage about the luke warm being spat out. I've never liked how it was used in church growing up, an exhortation to evangelize, but can see why it's a good metaphor. This writing is what it should be used for. Morally clarity being obfuscated by pablum.

I want that video of Noem telling a fabricated story about the ICE agents immediately after the shooting to be played over and over whenever they try and claim any credibility.

Okay so a few things. 1, this officer was shot an unarmed woman 3 times, and she's dead now. She was trying to drive away. 2, ICE are not heros, they are doing immigration enforcement operations that are hugely disruptive and in the majority capturing people who have committed no crimes.

Like this policy started this year, there's no recent precedent, and they just showed up on our street with little training with guns, and are using them and killing people. That's bad from root to stem.
