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.

Pam Bondi should have resigned when she said hate speech isn’t free speech, showing she lacked knowledge needed to pass a first year constitutional law school exam. But better late than never

This is a good start but it’s not enough. Betar is a terrorist, hate organization: it openly endorses and threatens violence against Palestinians and Muslims (including me), and those who advocate for Palestinian rights. They should have their tax exempt status revoked and individual members should be investigated for crimes.

My office is ending @Betar_USA's campaign that engaged in bias-motivated assaults, threats, and harassment targeting Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish New Yorkers. My office will continue to use every tool available to protect all New Yorkers’ civil rights and public safety.

@MTGrepp @elonmusk Stop spreading misinformation. She's the most powerful woman in the world, and you all obviously care. Her endorsement will get people to vote.

@elonmusk Musk's tweet should be seen as part of Trump/GOP's broader pattern of mocking women who do not conform to traditional gender roles. His post is misogynistic because it seeks to reduce Swift's serious political stances to the stereotype of a "childless cat lady." #WeWontGoBack

@elonmusk This tweet just takes things to a whole new level of strange. It’s not even eccentric at this point, just outright unsettling.

@elonmusk Why do you support a felon, fraud, rapist and accused pedophile who failed to balance the budget or replace Obamacare as promised while abandoning the Kurds and ignoring the four soldiers killed in Niger?
