[03:28–21:10; Resumes throughout]

A. Initial Breakdown & Legal Insights

• [04:02] Big D relays analysis from Amy Swearer (American Freedom):
  “There’s no real question. It was quite obviously a legally justified use of deadly force by a law enforcement officer.”

• Video angles confirm the ICE officer was clipped by a fleeing car, supporting justification for deadly force.

• Amy Swearer further states:

  “It's entirely possible for both of the following to be true: One, the driver did not subjectively intend to run over the ICE agent...Two, the ICE agent...reasonably feared she was about to slam on the gas and run him over."

B. Panel Reactions: Law, Media, and Political Spin

• [06:37] Rick Delgado adds mainstream reporting: the suspect was attempting to flee and endangered law enforcement.

• Mayor Jacob Fry’s pre- and post-shooting statements are played:

  • [08:32] (pre-shooting):
    "Somebody is going to get seriously injured or killed, that's what they want."
  • [11:37] (post-shooting):
    “What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust... so they are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense.”

• Paul Nolan links the event to previous Minneapolis unrest and a possible political “rallying cry.”

• [13:17] Kevin Downey Jr. notes the ICE officer involved had previously been struck by a car:
  “This officer has been hit by a car before earlier this year. He might be like, all right, not never again…”

• Emphasis on left-wing exploitation of the event for political purposes; skepticism that a new wave of unrest will meet prior levels of outrage given racial factors.

  • [09:35] Rick:
    “It’s not a black man. Right. It wasn’t a black man. ...there's gonna be a difference.”

C. Social/Media Observations
