You can call it whatever you like, it's going to happen, and you know it will. You have the choice to not throw your life away by fucking with ICE and trying to aggravate and harass them on purpose, and to not become a clickbait internet video of someone getting shot for being stupid.
All of this conveniently ignores the question of whether the ICE agent's act was legal or ethical, and is bordering on victim blaming. And the record, I am against the women's behavior. I just think the ICE agent's response was totally disproportionate, and that we shouldn't be killing people for such activities. I'm also against stealing, but that doesn't mean I'm going to cheer if a shoplifter gets summarily executed by a cop, or think "the shoplifter has the choice not to throw their life away by not screwing with the cops" is an acceptable excuse for the cop's behavior.
