I covered the Chicago Police Department for years and it's impossible to miss the similarities to shootings here over the years. The tactical chaos. The car-as-weapon official account that doesn't match the known evidence. The immediate insistence on justification by forces representing the shooter.

Following up here do we know if the agent who shot her has faced any kind of discipline or legal ramifications?
When DHS shot Miramar Martinez in Chicago last October, they also claimed she tried to ram agents with her car. Because she survived, they even charged her criminally.
They lied. She had done no such thing, and the goon who shot her bragged about it in texts. They dropped the charges against her.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

If you've been wondering why the right wing mediasphere has been in overdrive trying to gin up support and justification for this, it's because they probably saw how it played out politically and it's not going great

“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”

United stuck with Amorim through last year's disaster, let him spend $200 million in summer business, and then sack him midway through a season when they look a work in progress for sure, but definitely better... What in the world are they doing
