They deleted it - no apology but blaming it on a staffer. WH says the staffer "really let the President down" lol

This after the WH press secretary tried to defend it as a Lion King theme this morning.

Losers.

Ahhh, Trump strikes again.

Just enough leeway to say it's a Lion King theme, not a racist intention.

Bill Maher said it best: "I'm not saying the Repbulican party is racist, but if you're a racist looking for a party......."

I'm Trump's biggest critic but there's nothing in these emails/files so far that can stick. It's all innuendo.

Trump's not the brightest bulb, but he is when it comes to putting things in writing/email/etc. And he smartly avoids it.

Again, honest question and answer needed.

If a former Fox newscaster had done the same thing Lemon did - would that person have suffered the same fate?

I doubt it. To me this is clearly intimdation and distraction.

Trump's thugs actually tried to retain the arrested.............

Danforth with many relevant points on Lemon's behavior.

Again, Trump's DOJ going after individuals based on politics instead of the law of the land.

Think if a FOX reporter was in that church, he'd be arrested?

Who knew churches were private property!!???

Where do you draw the line? If a group of protesters decide to rob a bank, should a reporter just tag along, or should they take a step back once they realize something illegal is going on?

Pretty good question.

How about if ICE is murdering an American citizen?

"After we do this operation

Ah yes, spoken/written like a true trial lawyer.

Thanks, Gal for the actual context: ""After we do this operation, you'll see it live."

Second time Trump is doing this - first time, still going on, is his suit demanding damages for the J6/documents cases.

Only Trump can sue the government he controls lol.........

This is so similar to the James and Comey arrests.

Some of you will do backflips to try to make the point this arrest is legit. Sure, you can twist the law to fit a lot of instances. Two judges shot it down. Finally, they used a grand jury.

Much like the James and Comey cases, this will get cut loose.

Lemon is literally in the church, heard saying "I am here as a reporter". In fact, that is what he is.

The bigger picture is, Trump keeps losing ground as November looms.

Supreme Court did real damage by giving Trump absolute mmunity.

Trump could basically fail to turn over evidence and completely shutout other agencies from ivestigating.

And who is going to stop him?

His entire tactic of delay would be in play to the extreme. And promises of pardons to all involved would make it a quagmire.

Immunity to a normal person - sure maybe you can see that. Not Trump. Absolute worst person to grant that power.

And when you think about it, why are we even here after 250 years? Because Trump destroyed norms, plain and simple.

I'd say the mob who went after Kyle were a lot like the J6ers

Jeez, refresh my memory when a mob knocked down the door of the courtroom..........I guess I missed that.

How disgusting is this administration, saying this person who was shot came "to massacre law enforcement".

And you want to assume they'll do a true investigation?

Pulling out his gun should have been the last thing on his mind GIVEN THE SITUATION. This woman was being a nusance.

And to pull the gun out when he thought he was going to get run over makes little sense - first instict should have been to get the hell out of the way if he thought he was in danger - not to fire at her, and then to fire additioanl shots after he was in the clear.

When you consider it's their own policy not to shoot at a moving vehicle AND avoiding a moving car is safer than firing at it - you can just see this entire event was a clusterf*ck. Approaching that car and drawing his gun should have been the LAST thing on his mind - given the sitiuation.

This guy won't see jail time IMO - but he should be given the boot from the force.

But the way this adminstration gets so butt hurt over any criticism, it won't happen.

Over what? Their own safety? That would imply the civilian is attempting to maim or injure them, and the officer should just let them do it.
Sorry its perfectly reasonable for the police to have their safety as a priority when dealing with hostile civilians.

What you fail to realize, in this situation, is the ICE agent handled the situation completely wrong. Mind you, the procedures are there for exactly this situation - where the civilian is being uncooperative. And that's important to realize - she was being uncooperative! Not a person of interest they were seeking to arrest!

1. ICE approaching/standing in front of the car rather than approaching from the side (procedure and common sense).
2. Filming with his phone.
3. Drawing his gun rather than simply avoiding the car.

This agent basically did everything wrong - by the book - and it resulted in a civilian being killed.

In the courts - he'll get self defense - but an agent with that much experience really f*cked up over something so benign.

**immunity**

JD Vance says the ICE officier has "full ummunity"?

Some law I am unaware of?

No worries of course, Trump will pardon him.

LOL, this is news?

Trump can analyze his way out of a paper bag.

BTW, DHS policy; 'DHS law enforcement officers are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle or other conveyance.'

Should have all been avoided by stepping out of the way and arresting the person afterwards (if that was what they wished to do).

Getting anywhere near the front of the car was poor judgement on his part. IF anything, he should have approached the car on the passenger's side.

He put himself in a bad situation and it turned out horribly.

And as I've heard many professionals, as law enforcement in this situation, he should have simply avoided the car and persued afterwards. Was not a person of interest nor was she bearing arms. If they wanted to arrest her after the fact, they easily could have ID'd her.

Bad police work, simply put.

I find it very sad that after shooting - he simply walks the other way.........really as if he was put out.

Wouldn't the normal response by law enforcement to run after the car and see the status of the victim. The car actually rammed into other cars and a very high speed.

This guy is a coward.

Also if you watch the slowed down video, he did backup once he heard the wheel spin.

Additionally, maybe backing up more and stepping aside/getting the hell out of the way if he felt endangered was the more prudent way to go rather than fire RIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD.

This was not a suspect or person of interest.

"The officers calmly walked up and attempted to open her car door."

LOL, who the hell said that, Noem?

Same thing in the Ashli case, she wasn't the person actually breaking in, but it was part of a mob banging on the door.

Not really the same thing - he's endangering HIS partner. It wasn't someone related to the driver LOL

If I'm his partner, I'm like WTF are you doing - you could have shot me over this BS.

"barely"....doesn't matter. You don't get barely pregnant.

Perhaps a bad choice of words by me, but why is he drawing that gun?

I know - because he thought he was going to get run over, right?

Honestly, simply moving out of the way - rather than firing gun shots - is actually the better way for self perservation.

He wanted to pull that gun and intimidate her..............
