From CNN website:

“An ICE officer, fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots,” the statement said. “He used his training and saved his own life and that of his fellow officers.”

There are multiple videos that prove this is false. The ICE officer was not in the vehicle's direct path as it drove away so "fearing for his life" doesn't add up. This was a happy trigger moment by a goon who was just itching to kill someone. Make his name and face public and prosecute the hell out of him.

Those were not defensive shots. Looked like the driver's intent was escape. Every time a vehicle moves, it's always TRYING TO KILL ME, TRYING TO RUN OVER ME! Are they trained to make this claim? To use it as an excuse to open fire? I don't know, just wondering.

"Bluesky is hiding our post which shows what happened in Minneapolis, even though there's no graphic content (the victim is never shown).
Video evidence shows the public what happened and allows people to form an opinion, which is especially important when officials call it an act of terrorism."

a couple of videos together show that this was blatant murder... I hope the truth prevails

About a minute AFTER she crashed, he's seen walking away from the rear of her vehicle, phone in his hand and motioning for those screaming to moving along.

About 2 mins AFTER the crash, he's seen in that SILVER vehicle, the one that had that door open, causing her to go around it, and he's a passenger. The vehicle license plate was Minnesota, EVC 289, Chevy Tahoe. The driver couldn't get thru, so they turned around and headed in the direction of the wrecked car. By 2:27 in my copy, he's no longer at the scene.

Following the Community Guidelines is part of the contract Bluesky expects individuals to follow if they want to keep their accounts active and their content visible.

They are an open source platform and have a broad range of labeler bots programmed to flag, aka label, content shared on the site for a variety of reasons.

I don't believe that anyone "...needs to let Bluesky know..." what to do and how to be the "good" guys. But if you have specific suggestions or concerns you can share them via email.

FYI, a woman is the CEO.

Lantian "Jay" Graber (born 1991) is an American software engineer who is the CEO of Bluesky
Snip...
Lantian Graber was born in 1991 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a mother of Chinese descent, an acupuncturist by trade, and a mathematics teacher father of Swiss descent.[1][2] Her mother, who grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and emigrated in the 1980s, named her daughter Lantian [蓝天] meaning "blue sky" in Chinese, as a wish for her to have "boundless freedom".[1] The similarity between Graber's given name and Bluesky is purely coincidental; Jack Dorsey had chosen the name "Bluesky" for the research initiative before Graber became involved with the project.[3]
Snip...
In 2015, Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain in Mountain View, California.[1] She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, Washington, where she soldered bitcoin mining equipment.[1] In 2016, she began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.[1][5][6] In 2019, she founded the event planning website Happening, Inc.[1][5][6]

In August 2021, Graber became the first CEO of Bluesky, a microblogging social platform and public benefit company.[7][8][9] Bluesky had been conceived as a new initiative by Twitter's original owners in 2019, but evolved to become a competitor to Twitter following the 2022 acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk.[5][6][10][11]

You can clearly see the shooter step to the side of the vehicle before the first shot is fired. Two more shots fired as the vehicle passes by him.

Also, if he was supposedly injured, he was certainly having no problems walking around after the murder.

'Barbarous behavior': Legal experts warn deadly ICE shooting will lead to charges---the ICE GESTAPO AGENT MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MURDER...

ladyracer71.bsky.social (@ladyracer71.bsky.social) 2026-01-07T20:59:51.069Z

https://www.rawstory.com/ice-shooting/

Legal experts have begun to weigh in on the harrowing video from Minneapolis of an ICE agent fatally shooting a woman through the driver's side window of her car as she began to pull away from them — and at least some believe that state criminal charges could be imminent.

The Department of Homeland Security has denied any wrongdoing in the incident, arguing that the officer credibly feared for his life and was justified in using deadly force.

However, experts watching video footage of the shooting don't think DHS's version of the story adds up.

"Secretary of Defense Kristi Noem now says that the middle aged white woman who was shot in the head and killed by an ICE agent was a 'domestic terrorist,'" wrote lawyer and newsletter writer Amee Vanderpool on X. "Watch the video of it that is everywhere. You can see for yourself that every word out of Noem's mouth here is a lie."

"Let a jury decide whether that officer was justified in using deadly force, not MAGA meatheads on social media," wrote former federal prosecutor and ex-Republican staffer turned liberal punditry editor Ron Filipkowski.

"I just saw the video from Minneapolis. Barbarous behavior," wrote Georgia State University constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis, adding, "I will be shocked if the state doesn’t indict."

"#ICE brutality is the equally ugly twin of police brutality," wrote Harvard Kennedy School professor and former NAACP president Cornell Brooks. "Racially profiling Black & Brown migrants for deportation is as dangerous for all Americans as racially profiling Black & Brown citizens for incarceration. Reckless racist law enforcement is a public safety threat."
