At 22 seconds in, you can see where the shooter was standing when the first shot was fired. He's mostly blocked by the thug at the vehicle window, but you can see his feet/legs were clearly to the side of the vehicle when the first plume from gunfire emerges. Subsequent shots fired were clearly egregious violence as he's standing well off to the side as the vehicle passes by him.
The shooter then walks up to the victim's vehicle after the murder/crash, then at 50 seconds walks away directly by the recording phone, followed at 1:55 by him being quickly evacuated from the scene of the crime in a silver Chevrolet Tahoe.

(23,384 posts)I keep seeing this "alternate video" or "second video" but it's the only one I've seen so far. Has anyone seen/got a link to the original video?

It was taken from a position slightly further to the right, so the shooting is not as clearly visible.

(5,330 posts)Not only did he murder a civilian (allegedly), he put the other ICE officer at risk by firing so closely while the officer was at the car door.

(383 posts)The one that originated from the Steve Lookner X account is entirely damning - the shooter is clearly at the side of the fender when he fires the first shot at 3 seconds in.

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

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 doesnt 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."
