I mean, it's so it's such a confusing moment because it also seems like the wife is trying to get in the car.
You know, the seconds before she was shot and the wife is also screaming and crying that it was her fault, that she was the one who convinced Renee to go to the I stand off and intervene there.
Never trust a narrative that is being forced on you before the body is cold, because there are whenever you have the exact same set of facts and people are pulling out completely opposite conclusions.
To me, that says the truth is somewhere in the middle.
And I don't think either one of these people are without fault.
I think Renee and her wife, they knew what they were doing.
They knew that they were agitating the ICE officers.
They were putting themselves in harm's way needlessly.
I don't think that's the smartest way to protest.
I think that if the firing officer and Renee had both had a second more, we would have had a totally different outcome and we wouldn't be talking about this today.
But unfortunately, that's not what happened.
And this is also an officer who had been dragged 50 feet and had like 300 stitches last year over a car that was being used as a weapon.
So he obviously has a different perception of the events based on what he had already been through.
And, you know, if she is hearing a command to get out of the car,
That's when you stop and get out of the car.
And, you know, it's like they're not screwing around.
But I also don't believe that she should be dead.
There was an FBI agent, you know, contrary to your point, who told the Daily Mail after one shot, he should have stopped.
He shouldn't have gone with the second and third shot.
