Trump supports federal police killing of Minneapolis woman
The president has sided with a trigger-happy agent who killed a woman attempting to drive away.
A masked immigration agent killed a woman in Minneapolis today. Prior to the shooting, the agent appeared to be filming the woman — who was behind the wheel of her SUV — with his phone.
Other agents had approached the vehicle, prompting the woman to attempt to drive away. The agent near the front of the SUV then opened fire, shooting into the drivers side window, apparently striking the woman in the face and killing her.
Multiple videos of the killing are available online. The narrative battle over the truth of the killing is already in full swing, with Trump himself weighing and saying that the woman was trying to run over the immigration agent (she was not). “It is hard to believe he is alive, “ Trump said of the agent on Truth Social, adding that the killer is recovering in a local hospital.
Following the shooting, the agent can be seen on camera walking away as the woman’s SUV slowly rolls into a parked car as she ostensibly lay dead or dying behind the wheel. Witness reports then have agents ignoring the woman for up to 10 minutes before removing her from the vehicle.
This is a rapidly developing story. Check back later for updates.
