I think the overwhelming majority of city police departments in this country have been training to try and avoid putting officers in situations where deadly force may be necessary, particularly when there is no underlying serious criminal threat.

In this case, it appears that this woman was not the target of any preplanned law enforcement investigation and that the initial reason for approaching the vehicle was because she was blocking the street.

So that being in mind, certainly everything that we do in law enforcement, we are trying to be proportionate and reasonable.

Hi.

Good evening.

Thank you for having me.

So that the information that we had preliminary at the scene remains the same.

that this is a middle-aged white woman who is not the target of a pre-planned law enforcement activity, that this is a woman who was, her vehicle was blocking the roadway, and then the immigration agents got into an encounter with her.

She's not the target of any pre-planned law enforcement activity.

Well, I think...

You know, very clearly in this country, we expect law enforcement to conduct a full and professional investigation, and that investigation should follow the evidence to its logical conclusion.

And so, you know, while it is...

possible, like any other time law enforcement uses force, it's possible it could be lawful.

We should allow the investigation to run its course to its logical conclusion.

I know there's several videos that are online.

I have seen at least one of those videos.

And I know it has been very alarming to a lot of people in the community.

This is a tragedy.

I think there's no ways about this.

Anytime a person's life is lost, it is tragic.
