Did the shooting look "rehearsed" to anyone else?

I thought it looked choreographed.


One agent is telling her to go, while another grabs the door handle telling her to GTFO of the car.

She chooses the option to leave, naturally, and the third one gets in position where he isn't going to get hit but is perpendicular to the front of vehicle, and shoots.

To me seems almost like they planned how to shoot someone in a car and make it look justified

And we still don't know who pulled the trigger.

that someone didn't immediately obey them. And we do know which one of them pulled the trigger (see the excellent NYT video analysis posted elsewhere), just not his name. Yet.

& the officer was not friendly, but he was courteous. "Would you step out of the car ma'am." He sure didn't approach & scream, "Get out of the fucking car!" The thugs were in the wrong from the very start.

Omg, I am so fucking tired of being angry all the time, & I think this must be how minorities & the LBGTQ communities have lived forever.

The cops pretty much played a twisted game of Simon says with him & it eventually resulted in his death.

As the shooter walks around the van we see them looking at what I assume is their phone , some people said they were filming but what if they were receiving instructions “ to make an example?”

If we lived in a just country, real detectives would be getting a digital dive done on his phone by now

i was referring to the generally testosterone-jacked environment during the murder. I think being in ICE primed him to believe that disobedience is a "threat".

Surround the car rip open the door and drag the person out. Only this time a murderer decided to point a loaded gun at her and being, afraid for HER life tried to get away from the kidnappers. This is what happens when you play with loaded guns.

It looked like it was done by a journalist who was in the right place at the right time.

I'm not saying any vast conspiracy.

I'm saying premeditated murder by a handful of nazi scumbafs.

Discounting the shouting ICE it is as if she were in a Walmart parking lot pulling out of her space then turning about to drive off at a slow speed and encounters a Walmart shopper walking towards her who then pulls out a gun shoots her then claims self defense since it appeared to the numbskull she was trying to run him down.
I agree with the official Minneapolis remark to ICE: 'get the fuck out of Minneapolis'.
And apply to other cities as well as long as it is tyrant trump who sent them.
