Authorities were on patrol when they were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the drivers "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon," prompting officers to open fire, DHS said. A woman was shot and was taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai…

In other words, she was doing the kind of thing they do to random people all day long. Knowing how cops feel, it was probably an ordinary traffic jam.

    ICE claims that. Who knows what reality is. They’re quick to pull out phones one on one to try to intimidate hecklers, but somehow this event wasn’t recorded?

      Yeah, I’m guessing they rammed someone and suddenly found themselves surrounded by cars that weren’t moving-not boxing them in, just there. Also curious to see if there is a single shred of evidence that the “semiautomatic weapon” this woman supposedly fired at the brownshirts even exists.

        They don’t even claim she fired it, that might be expected to produce evidence, just that she had one.

          So, their story is that they were already stopped by this blockade of 10 cars, and then this woman tried to ram their parked vehicles with her car, which would probably legally be deadly force on her part, justifying them in using their own deadly force and shooting her, and then they left. Also, she tried to kill them with her car while having access to a firearm.

          … That is a version of events.
