" Videos captured by bystanders showed Good's vehicle driving toward an agent and turning to speed away when the officer shot into the vehicle multiple times."
No, it f*cking DOESN'T, you goddamn liar.
It literally is what happened. Whether you assume she was driving at the agent to hurt them or that was the direction to get away. It’s factually true that the distance between the car and the dude was closing hence driving towards.
I didn’t read that as saying the agent was in danger at all. I read it as someone describing the video I saw. Fuck IcE.
Edit: Love that this place is a kin to r/conservative in that you all dog pile with downvotes but nobody ever tries to reply to counter your point of view. Just an echo chamber or downvote. Self fellate or pile on. Maybe I’m on the spectrum but it’s pretty hard to fucking say that the car didn’t close the gap between its front and an agent. Just because I don’t like IcE or what they stand for doesn’t mean I’ll abandoned the truth like the conservatives do. Fuck that. I’d rather die than become like the people I despise.
I literally bolded the part I had a problem with: "driving toward an agent." That did NOT happen.
But it did. I saw the video, both angles. The driver drove forward with an ICE goon off to the front left side of the vehicle.
Now I am not saying that her intent was to harm the goon, but the fact is she did drive in his direction that’s not up for debate. The dude even pivots to his right as he opens fire like a lunatic.
