Well if we actually enforced laws instead of trying to minimize harm from encounters on the misguided philosophy of letting people get away with escalatory behavior because arresting them could spark conflict- she harassed and stalked federal agents with a clear attempt to interfere in their duties and threaten them. A crime. She blocked the road when she saw them trying to extricate a vehicle, directly obstructing federal agents in their duties, a crime- they were trying to get a vehicle out of the snowbank and she saw it and parked her vehicle in front of them to block them. Then when approached by officers giving her commands, she tried to flee law enforcement and ignore commands, a crime. And she backed up her vehicle without any regard for bystanders or checking her blind spots, well more of a moving violation than a crime to be technical. She deserved a ticket and points on her license for that. Then when her vehicle was lined up with an officer she hit the gas and spun her tires several times, enough she would have run him down with traction. Assault with a deadly weapon.
kirby v duba 2008. she's not liable for the officer in front of her vehicle, he is.
OK so, I am reading that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described it as an “act of domestic terrorism” therefore labeling the dead woman as a terrorist, who, their words now, attempted to “weaponize her vehicle” and tried to kill the agents. I just do not see that in the video. I see someone trying to flee a scene (not a crime scene!) and being shot dead. Basically a walking while black moment, if that makes sense.
She was unarmed, not fleeing a crime scene, not threatening civilians, yet she was shot dead. I mean boy, that escalated quickly.
basically yes. she's a criminal who tried to impede officers, terrorist is a big stretch.
