The Trump administration seems eager to pit America against the rest of the world's nations, which altogether comprise 8 billion people. The USA has a population of around 0.4 billion. Until a future administration corrects course, the future will be one demoralizing failure after another.

Flagging this for being blatant misinformation. Have a great day.

Obstructing LEOs, whether state or federal, isn't a death penalty offence (with or without a trial) here where I live.

We even investigate and charge LEO's for rape, stalking, murder, etc. when they overstep boundaries.

All if this, plus ICE just shot Renee in the face for no reason.

So, according to your logic, the appropriate punishment for allegedly blocking federal LEO operations is to get killed?

Who decided that she was'blocking' any operations? It seems to have been an ICE agent. So, now it's ok for an ICE agent to be the judge, jury and executioner?

Sometimes, it's hard to believe the level to which we seem to have sunk. What's worse is that the partisan divide is so great that even normally sane people can't seem to see any fault from 'their' side, no matter how egregious the behaviour.

I don't know how a society can ever recover from that.

The facts are she was given conflicting instructions and shot in the face several times at point blank range. There is no open mind to be had, the video evidence is clear. There was no imminent danger warranting lethal force.

The idea that that’s an offense worthy of execution is utterly antithetical to any conceivable value you might say this country was based on. What a shameful, repugnant comment. What an abject failure of anything one could call “education”.

If.. and I do mean if there is a concern for life of the officer in question, yes, that is actually the expected response. And also yes, the officers in question are investigated afterwards, because you do want to know if the gun discharge was warranted. I watched the videos from several angles ( what a time to be alive ) and I will admit I would like to see how her car got into the middle of the road, but.. I can't automatically say yay or nay. What I do know is that she had a choice to get out of the car, but chose to press gas.
