One agent literally moves to stand in front of the vehicle (she has no other way to move) and two
more agents, including the one who shot her, approach the vehicle. Those are not the actions of people who have a reasonable belief that they are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Yes, Mamdani's charisma, brilliant ads, and massive numbers of volunteers going door-to-door were instrumental in his victory. But the key -- and largely overlooked -- factor of how an unknown assemblyman could mount a successful campaign against the NY political establishment?? Public money.

This is so bad. Worse than people can imagine.
When you work in our systems, you're generally working in dozens of separate programs that interact with the COBOL architecture. Every one of those would need to be rebuilt. Even if they succeed in migrating, no one would be able to do their jobs.
