Was the ICE shooting justified self-defense, or an unjustifiable killing caught on video?

The Spin

Right narrative

This was clearly self-defense after the woman refused orders to exit the vehicle and put the car in reverse to run over the officer. This is further corroborated by evidence that shows a bullet hole in the windshield, debunking false claims about the shooting angle. Complying with law enforcement prevents these tragic outcomes. The mayor should stop inciting riots and instead work to keep his city safer.

Left narrative

Video evidence shows the ICE agent shooting a woman in the head, and no amount of strategic framing can justify this horrific killing, which is a predictable outcome of the Trump administration's reckless immigration crackdown. Despite efforts by right-wing media to mischaracterize the incident, the facts remain clear and call for accountability.
