TAPPER: In terms of tactics, shouldn't agents be checking if a 5-year-old is in the vehicle before they fire into it? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: You know who the 5-year-old was in the car? Oscar did. He chose to accelerate. Why would you put your child into a situation like that?

When did driving away from ICE become a crime punishable by death? They had the car and registration. They could have found him anywhere. Why di they need to shoot him? The local police & FBI have been finding people for years without endangering children in cars. Why can't ICE do that? QUOTAS

No badges were visible - evidenced form the video. How does he know it was a lawful order - nothing in the video The driver drove AWAY from officers. Why did officers approach and stand in FRONT of his car? Why did officers shoot INTO the car - did they have to know there was a child in it? CRAZY!

"Badges out" is their current spin, like how they said Renee Good "intentionally tried running over the ICE agent" even though she's seen clearly trying to pull away from the scene. It's crazy how the people know not to trust this, but Jake Tapper is still capitulating and giving zero pushback. 👎🏻

Shooting people is so normalized they don't question the downside. Who else is in the car? A child. What's behind your target? A whole freaking city. Intel is wrong? Non-target is shot. Intel is right? Someone shot for immigration violation, which is misdemeanor. Conclusion: goal is fear.

Just rapist, abuser language from every single person in this administration “Why didn’t you see the future and stop me from doing the behavior I chose to engage in?”

When guys dressed like construction workers (with long guns) come running at my car (with my 5 yr old in the back seat), I'm gtfout as fast as i can (to protect my child)

I don't believe in the death penalty, even for a putz like Markwayne Mullin. But it's hard, in the presence of such blatant evil, not to wish every one of these sociopathic MAGA grifters a tour of Dante's Inferno.

This is a poor answer by Markwayne Mullin. It doesn't matter whether the driver accelerated or not. The fact remains that there was a 5-year old child in the car. Just imagine if the child had been shot. What a horrible thought.

So he would just let strange people with rifles enter his vehicle and do whatever criminals want with him and his child? The evilness in these people know no boundaries.

Let’s put him in a car, surround it by masked, armed, approaching men, and if he moves the car shoot him. Fuck it. Gloves off. Treat them how they treat others. Which means if he doesn’t accelerate, break his window and rip him out of the car with electric gloves on then maybe shoot him anyway.

You said they wore construction vests because they were undercover. So if the driver of the car doesn’t know they’re looking for him. How does he know not to have his five year-old in the car?

Jake Tapper's problem is that he asks mildly critical questions and then sits there for 4 minutes uncritically accepting whatever explanation he's given. This isn't "holding people in power accountable". This is giving them a forum for them to whitewash their behavior.

Aaron, we learned way back in July of 2016 that officers have no problem shooting into a car with kids in it. Also, it's still "FUCK THE SAINT ANTHONY POLICE DEPARTMENT!"

So I guess the answer would be no,….also, I don’t think it is crazy for a person to accelerate his car with a 5 year old in the back when armed men approach and bang on the window….

We should all anticipate that unmarked officers with guns and no warrants, or due cause, might jump out of nowhere on a busy neighborhood street and shoot through our car windows? We should all leave children at home to protect them? I see why MarkWayne doesn’t have a college degree, he’s an idiot.

Of course Jake! the left media didn’t show the part of the video when the ICE agent did look in the car and did see the 5 year old, then proceeded anyways. Stop lying!

Absolutely no journalist should ask this question without showing this surveillance video. This looks like a CAR JACKING, anyone in their right mind would have floored it in an effort to PROTECT THEIR CHILD. These people need to answer for their behavior. bsky.app/profile/reic...

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Oh silly Americans, they just don’t believe that a person should run away when a bunch of white men with guns are running to your vehicle. If the agents were black, America would understand because Black people with guns are scary.

The situation where he was minding his own business & you tried to carjack him? That situation? What’s next? You gonna blame kids who are shot at school for being there?

I get a feeling that Markwayne would shoot a kid for shoplifting or an elderly person who just happened to be in the way. Being inhuman is one thing, being angrily inhuman is despicable.

I’m sorry, MARKWAYNE but if I’m in my car, w my kid, minding my own business, and a bunch of thugs come up and start beating on the windows, you bet your ass I’m accelerating too, so sit down and STFU

A wannabe tough guy, barely literate and a HS education is the perfect mouthpiece and poster child for America’s countless failures under Trump. Vote these MFers out, and then hold them to account.

I cannot wait for the day he is forced to live amongst us again without the trappings of power and a national stage. He will fucking pay for his crimes. One way or the other, he will pay.

FUCK OFF MULLIN! Your gaslighting is no longer working! Executing people on the streets of America, justifies the fear! I would flee too! It’s humane nature to fear Terrorism. Your fascist treasonous acts will never solve any real issue on our planet. ISIS has more class!

It literally looked indistinguishable from an attempted carjacking. He's saying the driver is at fault for speeding away from an attempted carjacking? If it was a carjacking, they would have criticized him endlessly for staying!

Republicans will regulate a woman's uterus to protect an embryo, but a 5-year-old in a car? "Shouldn't have been there." The mask isn't slipping. They took it off years ago.

There’s a bunch of hick-redneck hillbilly cops somewhere in the southern states, who possess better deescalation methods and operational, decision-making awareness than these so-called “federal agents”. Mullin completely ignoring the reason, the driver panicked in the first place.

MULLIN twists FACTS into a PRETZEL! Untwisted Pretzel: The VICTIM who LEGALLY had his son with him saw a MASKED ASSAILANT with a GUN pointed AT HIS CAR & HIM! Basic instinct is to LEAVE! He was acting LEGALLY! That ICE GOON had NO identification & should know NOT to shoot into occupied cars!

Watching this entire interview and Tapper is barely pushing back, while Mullin is rambling and using scare tactics. Such a weak interview, but this is to be expected now.

These guys were in an unmarked vehicle wearing costumes to confuse their identity and obscure their affiliation. Regardless of their verbal instructions they presented as armed combatants. What reasonable person wouldn't have run them over in order to protect a son or daughter from being murdered?

Because you know that unidentified masked men are probably going to shoot into your car. That’s why he accelerated.

What should a parent do when masked gunmen in street clothes charge at your car? I think getting out of there is the smart and restrained approach.

Regardless of what the father did law enforcement has a duty to protect innocent civilians especially children who are 100% dependent on adults to protect them.

Law enforcement has a responsibility to protect innocent people, especially vulnerable children who depend on adults for their safety. Every child deserves compassion, protection, and the chance to be safe.

And no one says what situation? That a dude looking like a construction worker with a gun rammed your car and looks like he’s about to kill you? Or being an immigrant with a kid in the car? That situation?

Did Jake Tapper just suggest that a five-year-old that witnessed police officers shoot his dad (for reasons that I—a thinking functioning adult cannot understand—let alone a five-year-old child) is FINE? I would like to enthusiastically invite Jake Tapper TO FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
