There's zero consequences (yet) because the federal government monopolized the evidence and refused to do either allow state authorities access or conduct a real investigation themselves despite clear indications that it was not a justified shoot, resulting in the resignation of several prosecutors in the division that would have handled such a misconduct case.

Many people have died in ICE custody as well, several so far this year, so it's not as simple as just placing yourself in their custody and then you are safe.

She didn't have to be there in the first place. It's not like she was just unintentionally in the middle of it. She sought out conflict with LEO.

If ICE starts dragging your friends and neighbors out of their houses and cars and terrorizing your children at school, maybe you'll understand why she felt she had to be there.

Or else, just try applying a bit of empathy.

> She didn't have to be there in the first place.

In the la-and of the free, and the ho-ome of the brave.

What about the American citizens having their homes invaded by ICE without even the faintest veneer of legality? Should they not have been at home and sought out conflict?

And if you're an honest to god American saying she deserved to be shot and murdered by LEOs because she was in wrong place is the most non-American shit I've heard. It's blatently shitting on our constitutional rights.

I’m sorry this leak makes you feel a certain way, but see the above.
