The question if a police shooting is justifiable is just 1 question to ask. 1st: this wasn’t justifiable. But for me the real question is was it inevitable. As police, we must do everything we can to avoid deadly force. Many times the suspect makes it inevitable. Not in this case

Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

ok Ken I like it but what are you gonna do exactly?
You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

“We are not going to go quietly” is a rallying cry for something much larger than just acts of collective kindness this has the appearance of a pivot to a far far more powerful footing of collective good and collective protection.

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Local people protested, people raised money and showed up for court support. Local press covered what happened which is how folks on here came to know this happened. Local people didn't abandon her.
They shot an undocumented man here on a busy street in the middle of the day.
They put “5 shots, 7 holes” (agents bragging words) in a Latina woman. Lied about the reasons. Charged her with attacking them then dropped it all.
There wasn’t enough outrage.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

We can hold compassion for the range of emotions Venezuelans may be experiencing — including positive emotions — and also be clear that regime change by a fascist superpower is dangerous, destabilizing, and sets precedents that will not stop at Venezuela. Those aren’t contradictory positions.
