American politicians are declaring that the presence of American law enforcement has the potential to cause fear and public safety issues.

Meh, its a screwed up situation on all sides. Apparently agent has been dragged by a car prior.
This kind of blows up the she was minding her own business / stuck or whatever narrative.
Doesn’t make shooting at a car with a pistol to try and stop it any smarter (and I will add for the record – the car did not stop in this case either, until it collided with an uninvolved object.)
This might not be a bad shoot, but it is unquestionably a stupid shoot.
If it’s NOT legally a bad shoot, it’s only because of the privileges of the Kings Men.
Oh, I dunno. I am um, aware, of situations where any number of styles of firearm stopped a vehicle. A 9mm bullet in a driver means every bit as much as a 5.56 or 7.62 from a long barrel…at very close range.
This dude had been dragged a few months before by a runner/illegal-fugitive. I am surprised he didn’t mag dump.
Sure. Eventually, after the coolant all boils off and the engine seizes, or all the oil exits the sump, or the electronics die in some way…whatever. Doesn’t change the fact that stopping a car with small-arms fire is always blind fucking luck, and shooting into a car to stop it from running over you *right now* is not at all a reasonable use of deadly force.
The agent was shooting because he was scared. That’s never acceptable even if he did luck into legal righteousness.
shooting into a car to stop it from running over you *right now* is not at all a reasonable use of deadly force
What’s the alternative? Seriously, it’s easy to say “do this, don’t do that”, but what is the “this” in this particular situation? Let her hit you and hope she doesn’t slam you into a telephone pole spine first? Dive out of the way and risk getting your pelvis crushed by the tire? Jump on the hood and go car surfing?
Evil has a strong point, no question.
Absent a duty to retreat *spit*, if someone is trying to run you down, that strikes me as the requisite imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. Meaning lethal self-defense is justified. So I think that shooting the driver is legitimate self-defense if they are trying to kill you with their car. Sure, the car might not stop right away, but the attack will.
So maybe the question isn’t “Can you stop a car with a handgun”, its “Can you stop an attack with a car, with a handgun”. Trying to stop the car may be analogous to trying to shoot the gun out of an attacker’s hand; you’re going after the tool, not the attacker.
Probably a better chance of reducing injury than having a dead driver.
When an armed agent of the state tells you to stop and surrender, you have 2 choices.
1) comply now and fight it out in court.
2) fight back and see how that turns out.
She chose option 2.
DHS/ICE have lied about prior shootings or uses of force so I take anything I hear with a grain of salt.
But the woman who was shot quite clearly hits the agent with her car whether intentional or not. You hit a cop with your car, expect to get dead or wounded. I don’t know what else to say about that. We have scant few details about what really happened leading up to it, but the video is clear as day.
Anytime the left starts talking about self defense and their is video of it, it’s proof positive that we live in alternate realities (see Rittenhouse, Kyle as one prime example). Like, she made contact with law enforcement with her car. You aren’t getting out of that without serious consequences.
The left’s rhetoric, as many of you have pointed out, has clearly encouraged all of this bullshit. You have a bunch of middle class or up dopey white women who have no idea how the real world works out here looking to disrupt and agitate law enforcement often times with vehicles being involved. It’s a recipe for disaster. And we have had multiple disasters already.
@trashy
The whole thing happened really fast, so to me the question is, did he follow his training (and that includes everything prior to pulling the trigger). Hence the need for an investigation.
I’m not even sure if that’s what happened here. She may have been told to turn around and get out of the area. In a panic or maybe even intentionally, she clearly hits the officer with her car. That’s pretty obvious.
This.
If someone is trying to run you down with an automobile, your focus needs to be on getting the fuck out of the way. Get something collision-resistant between you and the car. This is generally not hard to do – people on foot aren’t as fast as cars, but they’re way more maneuverable.
(OTOH, if you’re expecting the car driver to “RESPEKT MAH AUTHORTAY!!1!” and standing in front of the car like a biological pop-up bollard, as far as I’m concerned you’ve made your choice. Good luck. This applies both to State and non-State actors.)
The videos clearly show that this is not true. The only ICE agent who touched the car was the one who tried to open the driver’s door. The one who fired his pistol was never touched by the car, although it was close.
Reckless behavior on both sides. FAFO.
Based on the video I saw, they knew it was ICE because everyone was screaming at them, the driver intentionally blocked the road, and tried to get away when approached by the agents. It happened pretty quickly, but I’m not buying some sort of “panicked and hit the wrong pedal” explanation.
The one who fired his pistol was never touched by the car, although it was close.
You are wrong.

Yeah, that’s the crux of it, I guess. If you think he’s being a dumbass by standing in front of the car to prevent her taking off, then that colors the rest of the interaction.
I’m more on the “don’t run cops over if you don’t want to get shot”side of things.
My point still stands though. Regardless of whether he was a dumbass for putting himself where he did, once the car started rolling, he didn’t have very many viable options. Was it reckless to shoot? Maybe. Did he have a clear better option? I guess a few of you think so. I don’t see it so clearly.
You’re on a football field (unarmed) with a linebacker in motion with one hand on you. The crowd yells “Don’t get tackled! Jump out of the way!”
My guess is your ass is still getting tackled.
Better for what? Saving his own hide? Probably. Stopping the driver? Probably not.
Looks like the ICE guy did get clipped by her car.

Show me evidence of injury – hospital report, paramedic callout, anything along those lines. At the speed the car was moving, there would have been reportable injuries if the car had actually hit him. And again, you can clearly see daylight between the car and the ICE agent in every frame of the video.
And you know, honestly it doesn’t much matter. The question I’m asking is, “Is shooting into a car with a handgun a reasonable way of stopping that car from running you over?” That’s gonna be true or false whether the driver missed him by a mile, or backed over him a second time.
What is moving the goalpost?
The wife is a “handywoman” and they both moved to Canada after Trump was elected…but totally not “not an extremist” per the article.
TDS is pretty mainstream.
Voiceover in the video is nutty.

This may be the epitome of useless virtue signaling in legislation.
That is the dumbest shit i heard today. Adrian is a fucking moron.
That sure sounds like discrim6.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Those last two have a better chance of reducing your injuries.
Dammit! Gilmore!
*pours one out*
Mind reading now, ES?
Also, as for your assertion no vehicle can be stopped by gunfire…I was trying to be delicate – but yes, you can stop someone with small arms and not have the car continue on until collision or engine failure. ASK ME HOW I KNOW (hint, both Afghanistan and Iraq will be involved in the answer).
RoaT put some voodoo on his post that sucks replies under it.

Okay, stop right there. That was not my assertion. My assertion was, as I have repeated several times both yesterday and today, is: ‘Shooting into a car with a handgun/typical shoulder weapon is not a reasonable way of stopping that car from running you over, in a domestic law enforcement context.’
I’m really not interested in how you stopped a truck over in the sandbox by lighting it up with a Mk48 or something, because that is outside the context of domestic law enforcement*. I’m also not interested in how a lucky shot hit some critical component of the car/hair-frisbeed the driver, because luck is not something that should be considered when you’re writing agency SOPs.
* – I still wouldn’t mind hearing about it, because blowing assholes up with belt-fed machineguns is awesome, but it’s not really relevant to this discussion.
You missed it again – we didn’t use crew served weapons, machine guns, grenade launchers or such – small arms (M-4, M-9). But you have this ALL figured out, everyone’s mind set, how all small arms work in the world and so I will leave you to your invincible certitude and humbly withdraw, craving pardon of everyone for wasting their time with my real world experience.

So the U.S. sent in the military and law enforcement to snatch a dictator out of Caracas.
What’s next? They’re going to annex Canada by force.
It’s an entertaining read if you like insane paranoia, but I don’t think Harry Turtledove has to worry about his day job.
One the one hand, lots of oil, minerals, and frigid frontier-type land for the taking.
On the other hand, what would we do with all the Canadians? I certainly don’t want them around, and extermination camps are probably going too far even for my tarnished morality…
Send them to Mexico and France?
*Falls out of chair laughing*
That can be summarized as “more graft for our cronies”.
We will start providing for our own defense instead of leaching of America.
Let’s annex a bunch of places with socialists and make them states! What could go wrong?
Are you trying to drum up Democratic support?

After this past year I suddenly understand that a just a little more.
Sorry all…I didn’t get a chance to slap something together. The cupboard is bare. We have no non-recurring material left unscheduled.
Thanks, Raven Nation for refreshing the site today.
Apologies over here. I want to submit additional content, but I was re-orged at work this week. It’s chaos.
I’m in the middle of a supposed re-org, but no one has clear answers to any of the questions.
There’s a certain amount of freedom when you truly don’t give a shite about your job.
Sure is.
I’m not sure how to submit.
I’m too stupid to find the link.

Facial reconstructions of a 2,300-year-old Pazyryk Scythian male and a female outlier from the same kurgan in Berel, Kazakhstan
The man and woman, approximately 30-55 years old and 18-25 years old, respectively, were buried in the same kurgan, richly furnished with grave goods. Morphologically, the two individuals differed: the man displayed a mix of Caucasoid and East Asian traits, with a stronger leaning toward Caucasoid features, similar to other cranial remains from this set, and was likely of local Pazyryk Iranic Scythian elite origin. In contrast, the woman exhibited more pronounced East Eurasian features. Individuals with such traits appear in both common and elite burials, such as at the Ak-Alakha-3/5 cemetery. Archaeologists and anthropologists have speculated that the female outlier may have been incorporated into the elite stratum of Pazyryk society and is possibly associated with the Korgantas culture.

doodle tattoos? retarded haircut? slutty mustache? this is just a midwest transplant to bushwick in current year
Well, it’s all wrong because neither of them is black.
Gotta say, those are better tats than a lot of what you see.
Agreed. The crappy tattoos in Zoolander 2 are a real thing.
That’s because back then tattoos were difficult, so only artists would do them, not any yahoo with a tattoo gun.
As I watched the MN brouhaha yesterday I couldn’t help wondering, seems like a sort of residential neighborhood but yet hundreds of young people showed up spontaneously. Don’t young people work or go to school or something?
Immediately there were professional signs up. In my 20 year old mind I’m thinking “Sure wish there was an ICE protest today, nearby, so I could bring my sign and shout/curse/push/shove, you know, all the things I wasn’t allowed at home”
I am so naive.
The major universities are still on winter break. I saw this morning that all Minneapolis schools are closed right now – allegedly for safety but likely to maintain large crowds.
“I have decided that the holding of public assemblies for the next 14 days has the potential to cause fear and public safety issues,” he said of his decision on Tuesday.

Huh. No mention of Climate Change
While Alaska has a reputation for being snowy, Juneau received nearly an entire winter season’s worth of snow in December with 82 inches (6.8 feet), compared to a historical average of 17.5 inches. The city averages 87.8 inches (7.3 feet) of snow all winter. December 2025 was the second-highest monthly total snowfall on record for Juneau.
Hopefully by this time Animal will have gathered enough food to sit in his house for months and probably burrowed a tunnel to the surface.
