Know the facts. News will NOT report them. We have to do our own research
MAGA!! ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ
People may be paying attention to Portland, Oregon right now but I'm paying limited attention; instead following the Fiesta Bowl. I have no dog in the fight, but Melody Terwilliger, a person following this page, and you should check out her content -good stuff, does. Heck of a game.
This may be my last post on Minnesota attack on an ICE, that turned out badly for the attacker. I found this on Political Arena written by Donald Leslie (not linking) It provides a very good recap and clearly demonstrates the fault was clearly that of the driver.
Nothing but the truth
Here is what matters ..based on law, not emotion:
โข She disobeyed lawful commands from federal law enforcement
โข She obstructed an active ICE operation
โข She remained in the driverโs seat of a vehicle, which courts consistently recognize as a potential deadly weapon
โข She pressed the accelerator while officers were positioned in front of the vehicle
โข She did not stop, surrender, or comply despite multiple opportunities
She had options.
She could have:
โ๏ธ Stopped the vehicle
โ๏ธ Turned off the engine
โ๏ธ Put her hands up
โ๏ธ Exited the vehicle
โ๏ธ Complied with commands
She chose none of those.
Instead, she chose to:
โ Obstruct
โ Disobey
โ Move the vehicle while officers were in immediate danger
โ๏ธ WHAT THE LAW SAYS
๐น Vehicle as a Deadly Weapon
Federal courts have repeatedly held that a motor vehicle can constitute a deadly weapon when used against officers.
โข United States v. Anchrum, 590 F.3d 795 (9th Cir. 2009)
โข United States v. Sanchez, 914 F.3d 1355 (11th Cir. 2019)
๐น Use of Deadly Force Standard
Law enforcement is permitted to use deadly force when an officer has probable cause to believe a suspect poses an immediate threat of serious bodily harm or death.
โข Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985)
๐น Objective Reasonableness Standard
Use of force is judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, not with hindsight.
โข Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989)
๐น Obstruction & Assault of Federal Officers
โข 18 U.S.C. ยง 111 โ Assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers
โข 18 U.S.C. ยง 1501 โ Obstruction of federal process
๐น Failure to Comply During Lawful Detention
Refusal to comply during a lawful federal enforcement action escalates legal exposure and justifies force escalation when safety is threatened.
