@TAshleyIC Glad you got it. Shingles is no joke. First thing I did when I turned fifty.

A week has passed, and what seemed likely is now patently obvious. There is zero evidence that anyone from Duke’s basketball program was “punched in the face” at the Smith Center last week. Nor is there any evidence that a staffer was “trampled on the floor” or “in a complete brawl”, for that matter. Some have asked why I’m talking about this. It’s certainly not because of a sports rivalry. That’s no business of the DA’s Office. But I’ve seen firsthand how reckless accusations of violence incite more violence, and that is my business. Someone with the power and influence of a major men’s basketball coach should exercise more discretion before just saying things that can have real-world consequences.

🚨WOW: Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi warns the Constitution is under siege under Donald Trump - and says media layoffs are weakening democracy itself:
PELOSI: “We have a president who has crowned himself king, a Congress which has abolished itself, and a Supreme Court that has gone rogue… Each fact is challenged, truth is distorted, and the press is treated as the enemy.”
She pointed to the painful layoffs at the Washington Post as part of a broader pattern hollowing out newsrooms nationwide:
“A free press cannot fulfill its mission if it is starved of the resources it needs to survive. When newsrooms are weakened, our republic is weakened with it.
Because democracy dies in darkness.”

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

Pro Trump supporter Bari Weiss tried to suppress 60 Minutes from showing this video.
Here is the video. You know what to do.

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as Trump Before America. His treachery - some done for power and profit, and some purely for pathology, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
And a good deal of it would not have happened but for our legacy media's widespread normalization of his disorders.
