That guy was NOT fearing for his life. He was pissed off that she dared not obey them.

Why not shoot at the tires? In the face?
I still think he was a one time police officer who lost his job due to something like this.
I also believe we'll never get the name of the shooter.

And we all better prepare for the worst, and how we can protect our families

I don't know that there is a tipping point anymore.

9. You're right; this is the third shooting I'm aware of, and the second death

But if this fades away like the blasting of the Venezuela boat survivors, then I don't know anything that will motivate people to stop him and his Project 2025 craziness.

2. I think he moved in front of the car while the agent on the passenger side told her to take off

So he could shoot her in the face when she did as the other guy told her to.

I bet money once this guy is known, people are going to come out with stories about how he's a Trump-slurping virulent RWNJ who'd been itching to kill some 'libtard' who got in his way. And like you say, probably a cop who'd been fired for doing something similar, or rejected by police academy or the military outright because he's just too violent-minded, even for them.

of the shooter and his license plate as he pulls away. Minneapolis police are hopefully all over this. Wonder if Trump can pardon him?

7. Did you see the one ICE freak pull up his mask just after the shooting?

They knew they'd murdered someone.

I would post it here, but I think that that would violate DU's TOS.
