Ice Shooting In Minnesota, Strip the Politics Away: Was This Self-Defense?
This video is not about politics. It’s not an immigration debate.
And it’s not about whether you like or hate law enforcement.
It’s about one uncomfortable question that keeps getting buried:
Was this self-defense?
When you strip away the outrage, the slogans, and the ideology, self-defense comes down to actions—not intent, not emotion, and not hindsight.
In this video, I break down:
Why interfering with a lawful arrest matters legally
How panic and adrenaline affect human behavior
Why intent does not control self-defense analysis
What a reasonable person would perceive in a split-second, high-risk situation
And why self-defense often exists in the space just before catastrophe
This isn’t a perfect scenario.
It’s not clean.
And it’s not something to celebrate.
A woman lost her life — and that matters.
But tragedy does not automatically equal injustice.
Sometimes tragedy is what happens when fear, panic, and bad decisions collide in seconds — and pretending otherwise doesn’t make us compassionate, it makes us dishonest about how violence and human behavior actually work.
This is the hard conversation.
Not the easy one.
The honest one.

One of your best videos. You pulled back the energy, simile, and jokes. No meme ADHD breaks. Just you being as objective as possible while using your tone to highlight the most important points.
Look at the position of the agent immediatelly before the first shot, he had already dodged the car and was no longer in it´s path. After that, the agent kept the hand with the weapon, his right hand, in front of the car in order to shot the victim through the front glass, and then he made other two shots through the lateral window when the front of the car had already passed trough. So, the three shots were made when there was no longer any possibility of being seriously injured or even hit by the car. I think that these facts are going to be used by the prosecutors in order to dismantle the self-defense plea.
Deploying a firearm against the driver of a vehicle does not protect you from a straight line impact. In fact shooting the driver almost guarantees the car will continue along its path till it hits something. It's even likely to accelerate as the driver slumps forward and jams on the gas or slides to the side turning the wheel. It makes the situation more dangerous in the following seconds. The only time self defense protects you from being hit by a car is when that car is actively turning after you and pursuing you. Which would have been plenty hard with snow and ice all over the place. The simplest self defense move the officer could have taken was simple evasion. If we are taking a look at purely whether or not this was a good self defense shoot… it just wasn't. Yeah she was an idiot about how she handled things but last I checked deploying lethal force against a person purely for acting stupid is a crime.
After he shot her in the head his own cell phone records him calling her a “fucking bitch” as he strolls over to look at her body. I get the self defense argument, but i don’t understand that.
You´re leaving out the part that he shoots from aside, he wasn´t shooting to stop her, he shot 2 times completely out of the vehicle´s way… The vehicle was not a threat to him anymore if it ever was, being that he was the one that decided to place himself in front of it… he turned that car into a dangerous body out of control by killing the driver, creating much more danger to the public than she could have ever been.
Yes, before watching the video. He was in front of the vehicle and had a split second to decide to protect himself. She was pulled into the transtifa world and made the actions that directed the entire situation

No need to step in front of her car and shoot her in the face.

Best way to stay safe on the roads is not to drive on ice

Colion Noir you are dead on point I do not thing it could be said better. Sad when people like her play the FAFO game.
How about not trying to impede federal agents and she would still be alive…
