In Minneapolis a woman - Renee Nicole Good - willfully obstructed ICE vehicles with her car. In a tense situation, she drove at one and hit him. He shot at her, she died, and a riot ensued. I fear this will become a rallying issue for the left.
Columnist Jack Dunphy, a retired LAPD cop, writes that it is likely the shooter will be exonerated even if he may have overreacted when attacked with a lethal weapon (her car). He writes police slang for such incidents is “awful but lawful.”
If you want to know how LEOs view such situations, this column is very helpful. Unlike most of us, sworn officers potentially face life-threatening situations on any shift. If Dunphy himself never did personally, he knew colleagues who had mere seconds to decide how much lethal force to apply.
Be glad if your occupation does not routinely include such instances. Also be glad there are fellow citizens willing to shoulder this burden to enforce our laws.

Later ... Writing at Red State, Bob Hoge notes that the victim's wife was outside the vehicle filming what happened. Afterwards she sobbed words to the effect that the death "was her fault as she made her wife come to the ICE action."
We can infer that the plan was Good drove the car to block ICE vehicles while the other took video of their exploit. To be used as ... bragging rights? online propaganda? lawsuit evidence?
Maybe label this FAFOF with the third F standing for "fatally."

Still later ... Woman shot in her car in Minnesota was an anti-ICE activist. The New York Post reports she belonged to ICE Watch, a pro-immigrant group that harasses ICE agents, is linked to leftish causes and supports cop-killers.
This is important because it negates the assertion that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, was frightened by the behavior of strange men strangely dressed toward her, and attempted to flee. She knew exactly where she was, what she was trying to do, who constituted the foe she attempted to harass, and was there entirely intentionally.
