-------------, the ICE pedos purposely collided with this woman before shooting her 5 times.

Following the shooting, texts from the Border Patrol agent who fired at Martinez revealed he apparently bragged about the shooting to others, stating in one message that he'd "fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."

@#1 ... "driving away from a collision"....

In my view, it means that she may have been leaving the scene of an accident.

If so, is that a reason for gunshot fire?

Or maybe a more appropriate response might be to just note a license plate number, and following up on that information?

They dropped the charges. Do you know what that means? It means they didn't have a case, because she did nothing wrong.

@#4 ... They dropped the charges. ...

Thx for that follow-up.

From the cited article ...

... Martinez, 30, thought about driving to a hospital, but she knew she wouldn't make it.

The blood covering her phone made it impossible to dial 911. Eventually she used Siri, the voice assistant, to call for help through her car's Bluetooth speaker.

She spotted a repair shop near 35th and California. Martinez pulled over, ran inside and found help just as consciousness began to slip away. Someone inside the repair shop helped her to a chair and held onto her. She remembers looking out a door.

"I just saw the light getting brighter and brighter," Martinez said. "In my head, I was like, I'm losing this battle.' I wasn't scared. ... I don't know how to explain it. But I wasn't in pain."

Still, she thought, "This is it. I'm done."

"I just closed my eyes," she said. "I could have really died."

But she didn't. Martinez survived. And in a wide-ranging interview this week with the Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ, Martinez discussed her shooting, the federal government's failed attempt to prosecute her and the role she now sees for herself in a fight for accountability.

Martinez is set to testify in Washington, D.C., in a public forum Tuesday about immigration agents' use of force. She's also expected to learn this week whether a judge will allow her to release evidence tied to her dropped prosecution, including an agent's body-camera footage.

Evidence suggests at least one shot fired at Martinez came from behind, her attorney says. ...

ICE filth excels at shooting people in the back.

Federal prosecutors on Monday acknowledged that a Customs and Border Patrol agent's SUV that was involved in an alleged "ramming" incident, which led to the agent shooting a woman on Chicago's Southwest Side earlier this month, was released to the agent and driven back to his home base in Maine before the woman's defense attorneys could inspect the vehicle.

Nothing like a little evidence tampering.

"The administration's automatic lies about the killings and slander of the victims are less a cover-up of facts than a display of utter contempt for them. Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, and other top officials seem to invite incredulity as a way to flex their power: We say black is white. Agree or you're a criminal. When Stephen Miller recently claimed that geopolitics is ruled by the "iron laws" of "strength" and "force," he was expressing the administration's approach to domestic governance as well. Those words are iron laws on American streets."

SomeBodyElse,

I appreciate the quotes you post.

They're always spot on.

"We say black is white. Agree or you're a criminal"

Sums it up neatly.
