She was unarmed when she was killed.

A vehicle can be just as deadly as a firearm. And vehicles had previously been used aggressively by the protestors.

There were claims (no idea if true) that the agent who fired the fatal shots had been dragged down the road and injured in a previous vehicle-based altercation.

  • If him being previously injured affected his mental state such that he needed to kill someone who was not presenting an immediate threat to life, he should not have been on duty.

      She was intentionally obstructing for four minutes before the video, dancing to her horn while blocking traffic.

      She ignored orders to stop and get out of the vehicle.

      She pressed the car in drive enough to spin the tires with a federal agent in front of the car.

      THEN he drew his gun from the holster and fired.

      She hit him with her car.

      Good forced him. She made every bad decision and reality came quick.

Every police agency and training in the world will clearly explain that a vehicle is absolutely considered a weapon.

A single rental truck in Nice France killed more people than any mass shooting in the USA, ever.

  • Show me where the car was being used as a dangerous weapon.

    • Well… she accelerated in drive with a federal agent in front of the vehicle, while ignoring other federal agents to stop and get out of the vehicle, he THEN drew his gun from the holster, she the hit him with that car.

      Her mental state was clearly not peaceful or rational - while armed. If she had made better decisions she would be alive.
