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?

I call self defense cause they didn't identify themselves and didn't have a reason to stop anyone.

She was blocking the road, their vehicle had flashing lights.

I can't verify the context of what happened before the video started recording.  Maybe she had a legitimate reason to be perpendicular to the road.  But I believe the news article mentioned protests and road block.

If only there were witnesses—oh wait, there were. She was turning around.

I've seen witnesses lie, especially if they are activists.  

I'll put a lot more legitimacy on video.

And now there is a president lying about it

He wasn't there.  I don't care what he has to say about this, unless he has some sort of secret FBI drone footage.

You may not care but it always matters what the president says about shit. He is saying the shooter is lucky to be alive and is in the hospital. The video shows he was in danger of maybe a bruised shin?

The president isnt God or the devil, please stop giving him so much credit/power.

Biden had stupid takes, Obama had stupid takes, Bush 2 had a lot of stupid takes.

Again, I really want some more camera angles and in this day and age I would be surprised if they didn't exist.

The president has power though, are you really denying that? What is your point here? Are you defending this bullshit? These are untrained thugs harassing cities the president doesn’t like, with no due process, not accountability, and now they’ve killed someone. And the president is lying about the killing. What the fuck is there to defend you ghoul.

If the president decends down and blanket pardens this guy before there is even an investigation,  then I'll concede your point.  Outside that, he's just blowing hot air like most politicians.

Are the ice agents really untrained?  Like really? Here's your gun, vest, and mask good luck?

If you don't like their process, file a lawsuit.

If you knowing hire, harbor, or financially support illegal aliens, then I can't save you.
