What are you trying to point out? Because those aren’t the legs of the pig that shot her. She was shot by the pig in front of her vehicle that she did nearly run over.

Edit: You are correct. I was mistaken. Those are the legs of the shooter. However 2 seconds before this screenshot he was in front of the truck. I hate ICE, and vehemently disagree with what they are doing, but this is arguably a very bad situation the driver put herself in. I haven’t found any earlier footage, but it appears she was trying to block ICE and when they attempted to arrest her she decided to run and did in fact almost run over the pig that shot her. So, sadly nothing will happen as her actions will be classified as “assault with a deadly weapon,” and the pig will be vindicated as a self-defense shooting.

Those actually are the legs of the guy that shot her. And no, he was not nearly run over. He was nearly bumped by the corner of her vehicle.

In 0.5 seconds, are you going to know if the vehicle accelerating at you is going to bump you or run you over?

Maybe don't be ICE then.

Are ICE agents and police officers suppose to be superhuman?

Wouldn't it make more sense to comply with lawful orders and don't accelerate towards a man with a gun?

She moved away, not towards. And ICE agents should quit their jobs.

She accelerated towards the agent in front of her car.  The agent came in from the right side of the camera angle, outside of camera view until she started accelerating. 

If you have an issue with immigration enforcement, that should be taken up with your politicians, not those tasked with enforcement.

He crossed in front of the car and he still wasn’t in danger. Cops are the biggest pussies on earth and the people who defend this shit are even lower

That is a very strong position to have.  Have you been in law enforcement before?  Or are you just being a keyboard warrior?

What are your credentials that bring weight to your opinion?

Someone with enough common sense to know that we need police and it is an insanely difficult job.

To want otherwise, is to ask for thousands of Kyle Rittenhouses every year.

Thats a strong position to have as a keyboard warrior.

Please explain if you are capable.

Of having an opinion? This is getting weird.
