Two unpopular opinions on the Minneapolis shooting:
1. The woman who died was at fault. She was acting erratically, inserted herself into a dangerous situation, and behaved in a way that put both herself and others at serious risk.
2. The ICE agent acted on instinct and fired too quickly. He should not have escalated to lethal force in that moment. We need full body cam footage to understand exactly what he perceived, but based on the video available, it does not appear his life was in immediate danger as the vehicle was moving away.
The left is already calling this blatant murder.
The right is already claiming the woman was trying to kill the agent.
Neither narrative is accurate.
The woman who died acted dangerously and recklessly, and the ICE agent drew and fired his weapon too fast.
If both sides don’t pause the political posturing and focus on de-escalation, Minneapolis is headed toward another night of chaos just like George Floyd.
ICE should temporarily pull back from the community, and leaders on the left need to clearly and forcefully call for calm and nonviolence.
There’s almost no chance both of those things happen, which means this situation will likely get ugly and Minneapolis could burn again.
I know this take won’t make me popular with either side but it’s just my initial thoughts on situation.
What this actually looks like:
ICE tries to get woman who thinks she's being cute for a video to move her vehicle.
Three agents surround the vehicle, one from the front, two from the driver's side. Likely looking to gain control of the situation. It is not cute to them, as they're being surrounded by a mob.
Woman panics, realizing this is in fact not cute, and attempts to flee thinking she can avoid arrest. Tire loses traction and the car doesn't immediately respond to gas input. Woman panics further and guns the gas causing an erratic vehicle take off.
Agent at the front of the vehicle almost gets hit. Agents respond by opening fire thinking the woman is using the vehicle as a deadly weapon, trying to hit the lead ICE agent at the front of the vehicle.
Woman who shouldn't have even been there, but was there because she got spun out of control on TikTok drama dies.
Agents have to live with it. Will likely have people demanding a mob-style execution by COB today.
What the Right Wants: Psychotic leftist domestic terrorist tries to kill ICE agents! We should use more force.
What the Left Wants: Fascist NAZI psychopaths are murdering women and children! We should use more force.
Who actually wins: Minnesota politicians and bureaucrats who can spin this into a riot and continue to avoid accountability for fraud. Federal politicians who can use the flames to continue to avoid accountability for a billionaire child sex trafficking ring.
