    Martinez her lawyer defending her against the public government accusations: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/16/us/video/dhs-martinez-car-jimenez-dnt-digvid

    Local Chicago breaking news about how the dhs narrative holds no water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=CtXQy-NhSPo

    The bodycam evidence that completely exonerates Martinez isn’t released yet to the public afaik, at least I couldn’t find it. The bodycam purportedly shows that the ice driver turns the steering wheel to the left to ram into Martinez’ car. Another (or the same?) ice agent is shown on bodycam with a finger on the trigger saying “do something bitch” before shooting her. Martinez her gun was still in her purse when she was shot.

      Needs text alternative.

      Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:

      • usability
        • we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
        • text search is unavailable
        • the system can’t
          • reflow text to varied screen sizes
          • vary presentation (size, contrast)
          • vary modality (audio, braille)
      • accessibility
        • lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
        • some users can’t read this due to lack of alt text
        • users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
        • systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
      • web connectivity
        • we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
        • we can’t explore wider context of the original message
      • authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
      • searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
      • fault tolerance: no text fallback if
        • image breaks
        • image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.

      Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.

      OP needs to learn to link to sources & everyone here needs to learn about the iniquity of images of text as explained above.

    Until we start charging cops the way we would charge anyone else, it’s going to be a very attractive job for people that think shooting people sounds fun.

    I hope she wins a civil lawsuit big enough to actually hurt the agency and ensure she and her hiers never have to work again

      Given the astronomical budget of this agency, which is equivalent to the military spending of medium-sized countries, this is unfortunately highly unlikely.

      And, as others have already said: it is the citizens who pay for all of it.

        We pay for it by the erosion of the tolerant pluralistic democracy that we inherited but are not presently keeping

      I wish we lived in a world where law enforcement trying to murder someone and lying about it were punished more harshly than the general populace.
