As a former federal prosecutor and US Attorney who made important, impactful cases with ICE and its predecessor INS - cases that helped make neighborhoods safe again - this photo represents a rebuke and rejection of justice, rule of law and all that the honorable agents I worked with cared about .

And to clarify, OF COURSE the local District Attorney has jurisdiction - regardless of whether the federal government cooperates. a shooting resulting in death is absolutely within the jurisdiction, and the shooter’s status as a federal agent does not remove that jurisdiction.

It might well be that the driver could have been charged with a crime for driving dangerously near the agent - possibly even attempted homicide.
But the agent doesn’t get to be judge, jury and executioner and just kill her because he thinks that’s what happened.

The video seems to show the officer stepping aside, out of the way of the car - then shooting the driver as she passed by.
If that’s what happened, it’s a homicide - you can’t shoot someone for fleeing or bc you’re mad at them for threatening you with their car.

Someone needs to ask Hegseth, Cotton, Wicker:
If Iran attacked a US patrol boat, disabling it, then circled back an hour later and launched a 2d attack to kill 2 American sailors clinging to the wreckage, would you condemn Iran for an unlawful attack?
Because that’s exactly what happened here

Precisely - we respect the law of war in order to set a standard for how our enemies treat our armed forces when we are at war.
By condoning this attack, Cotton, Hegseth et al are putting a target on the backs of our young sailors standing watch on vessels all over the world

This was literally to central feature of Hillary Clinton’s proposal as First Lady. Ira Magaziner called it “managed competition”
So now the GOP - lacking a health plan for over 32 years - is embracing Hillary-Care? To replace the AHA, which brought health care to tens of millions of Americans???
