This seems like an intentional misunderstanding to me, but I’ll clarify anyway:

What I said was that she was looking directly at the officer while having her wheels pointed in his direction and accelerating hard (to the point that she lost traction). The looking detail is important because then you can’t claim she didn’t see the officer was in her way because she was still looking back from her reversing maneuver. It makes it more clear that she was intentionally trying to hit the officer with her car.



I really have no idea how a human being can look at this video and not see a murder.

I'm frightened of you.


That’s interesting, because I’m actually also frightened. But the thing that scares me is how quick everyone wants to jump to conclusions as long as it supports their existing world view.

It's not about a world view. It is about watching a video and seeing what is happening.

Unless you mean "world view" is my knowledge about how cars and guns work.


I watched the video and I saw Renee attempt to hit the ICE agent with her car. After doing that, lethal force is unfortunately on the table. The officer doesn’t have time after that to wait and see if she is going to try to kill him again or not.

How is she going to try to kill him again? Drive away then come back to ram?

Jump to conclusions like triple-tapping a soccer mom?
