Link to ICE agent being hit by a car?

That’s not what I said.

There has been an increase in vehicle attacks on ice officers. I can see why they would be reasonably fearful. imo

Car attacks on ICE officers have spiked — surging by some 3,200% over the past year, according to shocking data released Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security.

If you are familiar with Minnesota or Minneapolis you’ve heard of Alpha News. It’s very well known here. There’s more to all of this. JMO

I’m honestly curious by what you mean by there’s more to all of this? I’m genuinely asking, you seem to be well acquainted with Minnesota so just wondering what that means in regards to that news outlet? I have never heard of it before prior to any of this.

Watch the most recent video from Ross's own iphone. He decides to murder Renee because he knows he can, scott-free (or so he thinks). He doesn't like who they are, that's the bottom line. They were no threat, his pride was injured because they didn't crumple at his presence and actually said something to him. JMO

Maybe you can watch it in slo-mo. You can hear the engine rev before the shot is fired. imo

Regardless of whether their mission is right or wrong, a huge part of the problem is sending in swarms of officers dressed like idiots when a handful would do the job. They create the chaos. They are acting incompetently.

Joe Public doesn’t know their operational plan, intelligence, needed manpower, or risk assessment. Ms. Goode did not either and obstructed a roadway, did not listen to prior commands to leave. The timeline leading up to this event also matters. IMO

The last words heard from the partner were “drive baby, drive”. It’s not a stretch to think the woman was weaponizing the vehicle if you’re the ICE agent.

Her partner's order could well explain why she suddenly accelerated while leaving her partner behind. In the end, I think the partner was the one recklessly escalating the confrontation:

- She got out and confronted the officers. The driver did not.
- She challenges the officers to "Come at her"- or something similar.
- Drivers attempts to block the street were half heated. Maybe indicating that she was not fully on board with the whole thing.
- Partner orders her to "Drive baby drive" and she implements it "hook line and sinker".

Commenting again after reading more...can anyone confirm the ems response time and or life saving measures by on scene officers? I would think any law enforcement officer who carries a firearm would also be required to be trained how to help a victim if the officer used their firearm. But I honestly have no clue. It is very concerning that it appears to have been no first responder running to her vehicle.
Videos up thread show the scene so hopefully i don't have to post the video source I've seen.
Jmho

"Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said local police arrived at the scene to find a woman with a gunshot wound to the head. They performed life-saving measures at the scene, including CPR."

And I believe I read in a different article that EMTs were there about 15 minutes after the killing, couldn't get an ambulance to the victim due to ICE vehicles blocking the way, so ran to her instead. imo

Maybe that’s the case for a small number of people. But the crucial difference here is the power imbalance. When we are talking about an ordinary person who does not carry a weapon versus an officer who does, that imbalance exists immediately and it fundamentally changes responsibility, risk, and accountability. Jmo.

I think you would be surprised at the number of people who have no problems getting violent with LE for whatever reason.

I will agree that imbalance changes all of that.

Strangely enough, I tried to look at the opposite for statistics on ICE officers assaulting civilians and found this...

"Publicly available systematic national statistics specifically on ICE agents using force against civilians (e.g., unlawful attacks, excessive force incidents, civilian injuries or deaths in ICE operations) are not released in a transparent national database in the same way as some other law enforcement agencies’ use-of-force data."

Hmm peculiar isn't it. Jmo

There is a pattern of behavior. ICE shooting, the victim is blamed, and it turns out to be untrue.



Federal prosecutors have dismissed criminal charges against Marimar Martinez, who was charged with assaulting federal immigration agents, one of whom shot her multiple times during a vehicle incident in Brighton Park last month.

...
Prosecutors in court Thursday confirmed the case would be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the criminal charges against Martinez and Ruiz cannot be refiled at a later date.
...

Following the shooting, texts from the Border Patrol agent who fired at Martinez revealed he apparently bragged about the shooting to others, stating in one message that he’d “fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.”

Correct me if I'm wrong - they were at Roosevelt High School presumably to detain a student or staff member who was in the country illegally. They could have gone in there with a couple of officers even in plain clothes, and grab the individual. Why create such a spectacle? It's ludicrous.

No I'm not surprised. There's many reasons why people have issues with law enforcement. But whichever way you look at it, statistics show that law enforcement are more likely to assault a civilian rather than the other way round. Jmo.

Honestly, after the lies the Homeland Security Director told before the investigation had even begun, I can't believe anything coming from that department, or if the attacks on ICE agents have spiked to that degree they might want to ask themselves if they are escalating situations and a part of creating a hostile environment.

 

[Dawookie]

True. The difference, though, is that it is simply the officers' job to deal with uncooperative civilians. That is what they are trained and paid for. Unfortunately uncooperative civilians will always exist. If they didn't, we wouldn't need LE.

ETA: And if they can't do that effectively, they shouldn't be in LE. Ross probably fits that category.

Yes they are trained to deal with it. Unfortunately sometimes they lead to use of force due the actions of one of the people involved or both of the people involved. I think for the most part, most officers don't want to have thing escalate just like most civilians don't want to have things escalate. Sadly they are people on both sides of the coin who relish that happening.

From 2 to 66 - during a period where ICE activity has increased by (I’ll guess) more than 3200%. No one should be using a car as a weapon - but this article is highly misleading IMO

 

[Cryptic]

It actually is a stretch, to the point of being nonsensical given the videos. IMO

Is the jump from: Videos indicate she would never say something like that- so- its nonsensical to think she would?

I would not be surprised if a wide variety of Homo Sapiens (white, back, men and women etc) in a wide variety of different police confrontations have given alot of impulsive and badly thought out commands to partners.

Such an impulsive and badly thought out command could well include "Drive baby drive" made by a person who had already challenged officers to come at her.

 

[Mickey Mouse]

Her partner's order could well explain why she suddenly accelerated while leaving her partner behind. In the end, I think the partner was the one recklessly escalating the confrontation:

- She got out and confronted the officers. The driver did not.
- She challenges the officers to "Come at her"- or something similar.
- Drivers attempts to block the street were half heated. Maybe indicating that she was not fully on board with the whole thing.
- Partner orders her to "Drive baby drive" and she implements it "hook line and sinker".

None of which is sufficient to justify lethal force.

When did speaking to someone become "confrontation"? So when women speak to men, in your opinion, it's "confrontation", "challenging", "half heated", etc.? This comment reeks of sexism and victim blaming.

That is true. (I used to be an EMT and was attacked even doing that.) But again, it is the officers' job to deal with it according to their protocols. It's part of the job

Yes there was just one in my state as well. The local police determined that the ICE version of events was untrue in regards to a shooting that happened while they were trying to detain 2 people. Anne Arundel County police dispute ICE’s account of Glen Burnie shooting
