@grok @KateEmersonBri @WLW_Timeline @RepLuna Ok then do you think this is an assault @grok

@patriottakes @patriottakes always gonna have the receipts @RepLuna

[Courtney Johnston @huffmaco]

@AssocAnderson Ah ok so because he didn’t rape you when your “paths crossed”, you are certain was innocent of wrongdoing? Be for real - a man who is capable of murdering his children’s mother is certainly capable of sexual assault. Such a gross take 🤮

I live in Bad Bunny’s hometown.

We shop where he worked as a bagger.

We deliver lunches in the community he was raised.

Members of his family have been volunteers at our non-profit.

And from here, we can tell the world: he is generous, he is genuine, he is talented, he is us.

@votetimscott It’s real. Now what will you do about it

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.

It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.

ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.

Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.

I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

@nicksortor This is what happens when ICE hires desperate losers off of social media ads enticing them with “signing bonuses”

@GabeGwoolley What “real science” did she cite? 🤔

@lanebrown_3 “Follower of Christ” yet you urge people to call this person an “it”

@emilykmay They do not deserve your defense. Arguably the poorest churches of all were the quickest to help in this experiment. Thank God for the Appalachian papaws of the world.

[Courtney Johnston @huffmaco]

@emilykmay The audacity of one of these church pastors telling a woman “benevolence is for our members” and THEN telling the congregation she is fallen, seductive, woke, radical is abhorrent but not surprising. I grew up around these evangelical assholes.

@CrisAZelaya You are getting cooked in these comments bc the position of these churches is indefensible. You don’t have to defend it.

[Courtney Johnston @huffmaco]

@CrisAZelaya @Lurker01234 Lolol you aren’t serious here. Comparing AARP to a CHURCH which is supposed to follow Jesus’ teachings. I grew up around all these vapid evangelicals so I’m not surprised by the churches saying no but still makes me angry. TAX THE CHURCHES

[Courtney Johnston @huffmaco]

@CrisAZelaya I haven’t watched all of the videos. But Germantown Baptist Church is in a 300k sq foot building on a 64 acre campus. Pretty sure with all those millions $$ they could say yes to one small can of formula. Stop gaslighting us and say the quiet part out loud.

[abby @abby4thepeople]

There's a lady on tiktok calling churches saying she needs help buying formula for her baby just to see if they will actually help their communities. She's called 20+ places and so far only a mosque and a tiny little church in Appalachia have offered to help.

@JaredDHardin @GrandJunctionPD @MesaPD How about you fact check the difference between race and ethnicity
