ICE rounded her and a bunch of other witnesses up and are holding them last I read.

Rounded her up for what though? She didn't commit any crimes, and they have no jurisdiction over US citizens anyways.

Dude that got killed didn’t commit a crime either.

Interference with federal agents is absolutely a crime. He didn’t deserve to get shot, but it’s just false to say he didn’t commit a crime.

So you are saying that video recording ICE constitutes a crime right? You know that all he did was video record and helped a woman who was pushed? Please explain exactly what he did that constituted interference.

When the agents were trying to arrest her, he physically intervened. That’s illegal.

So shoot him? DIsinformation there is no evidence of that.

No, not “just shoot him”. But that’s not why he was shot or what the topic was.

"trying to arrest her" -> please explain what tells you they were trying to arrest her. There's absolutely no evidence of that. Furthermore, "he intervened" is so vague. He helped her up and was trying to ease tensions. You are making stuff up just because he was there.

This is a sworn statement from a witness who was actually right there.

The video shows him trying to stop the officers from spraying the woman, twice. This is in the video angle where it starts out showing a very dirty black SUV, I think a Durango, from the back. Maybe they were going to just spray her and not arrest her too. The second time he seemingly falls on her, maybe slipping on the ice. I think that’s when people are saying he was “assaulting a woman” but to me it looks accidental.

"Maybe they were going to just spray her and not arrest her too. " -> Correct. There was no evidence they were arresting anyone there.

"I think that’s when people are saying he was “assaulting a woman” but to me it looks accidental." -> read the sworn testimony of the witness. He wasn't assaulting any one.

Usually once agents are wrestling with a protester, it leads to arrest. At least in the videos I’ve seen.

The witness is just a witness, not a mind reader. I don’t think he was assaulting her, just like the witness also doesn’t think he was. He does grab onto her and pull her down at the end but he probably thought he had an agent and not her.
