Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b----' before shooting

In the charges filed Sunday, prosecutors notably did not mention a loaded gun in Martinez’s car that was referenced in a previous statement by the Department of Homeland Security. But in court Monday, Hennessy said Martinez had a loaded firearm on the passenger side of her car but never brandished it. Martinez’s attorney, Parente, said she has a valid firearm and concealed-carry license.

Frankly I was disappointed by it. I get that she’s symbolic of the Jewish population of the US and I grew up around Jewish kids who hated when Israel did heinous shit.

But if Trump is fucking Satan, what the hell does that make Netanyahu?

It felt like a pulled punch.

Parente also offered to play an agent’s body-camera video that shows the shooting, noting that prosecutors did not show the video that he claimed disputes the government’s version of the shooting.

Parente said the video shows an agent turn a federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez.

Sure sounds like attempted murder under the color of law to me.

Not at all clear. She didn't drive towards them. She didn't brandish the gun she had in the car. They just shot her because they felt like it

I meant that she did something about it, not that she attacked them. Sheesh.

Ohh, it was not quite clear what you meant. Now it makes sense.

Yeah, my penchant for brevity really bit me in the ass this time.

Pascal was right — it takes a lot more work to write a short letter
