As I type this, I'm hearing on the TV that Trump is calling the deceased woman something like a "professional agitator".

1. Getting tRump removed would help, but yes, there are literally thousands
behind him. All the way down to local politician supporters, police, judges, election boards, school boards, ambassadors, and others. The damage is deeply rooted and strongly entrenched. But let's start with the orange asshole!
Oh, So That's the New Narrative the Left Is Pushing About the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
It’s a claim as fake as the Russian collusion hoax: Renee Nicole Good, 37, who was shot and killed as she rammed into ICE agents, was a legal observer. No, she was a left-wing nutjob who led these interference convoys against ICE raids. Good was so entitled that she felt she could supersede the law and paid dearly for it. She got blasted in the face. It was deserved. She assaulted federal agents. A tip on how not to get shot by police: don’t turn your car into a weapon, you worthless dingbats.
A compilation of leftist politicians using the same language yet again:

What a weasel term that basically means the same as "community organizer" or "affordability".

2. Vance doesn't have the evil mojo Trump has, he's more like a pipsqueak.
Yesterday, Tim Walz declared that he was at "war" with the federal government and called out the National Guard to defend Minnesotans against "rogue" federal agents. As Ed wrote earlier today, Walz appears to be regretting saying that he wants a violent confrontation with Trump quite so openly, of course, but it's pretty clear that is is what he wants.
Well, the troops aren't out on the streets yet, but as the rhetoric ramps up across the country, the leftist agitators are already attacking federal officers, and the sun has barely risen here in the not-quite-arctic north.
Radical politicians like Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan, our Lieutenant Governor and Democratic Party candidate for Senate, have been calling for confrontations with ICE, and their followers have been dutifully following their advice.
The basic idea being pushed by Democrats is that they get the equivalent of a "heckler's veto" on law enforcement. As long as they choose to impede law enforcement for whatever reason, they get to veto any law.
Syria's new government and Israel will set up a joint group under US supervision to share intelligence and seek military de-escalation on the ground, they announced Tuesday after talks.
The Syrian foreign minister traveled to Paris in his country's first known meeting in months with Israel, which has pounded its historic adversary despite US unease over the pressure on the fragile government.
A joint statement issued by the US State Department after the talks in the French capital said that Syria and Israel were committed to "achieving lasting security and stability arrangements for both countries".
"Both sides have decided to establish a joint fusion mechanism – a dedicated communication cell – to facilitate immediate and ongoing coordination on their intelligence sharing, military de-escalation, diplomatic engagement and commercial opportunities under the supervision of the United States," the statement said.
But NBC News did something unexpected.
The network aired a frame-by-frame breakdown of surveillance video that actually showed what happened.
The conclusion vindicated the ICE agent.
NBC correspondent Tom Winter walked viewers through the footage in real time. He showed the angle where the ICE agent is clearly visible, struck by the vehicle Good was driving. Winter's initial on-air description focused on what the video actually showed rather than on partisan rhetoric.
NBC News correspondent Tom Llamas noted that authorities had already made one key point clear. “Stuff we’re learning from the get-go, again, the police chief saying this vehicle was blocking the federal agents right there,” Llamas said.
Winter then revealed a key point. “We don’t know what happened before this, but they’re definitely gonna look at the fact this is an unmarked vehicle, but the lights are on, these are clearly members of law enforcement, so that’s at least known to this driver,” he explained.
As the footage played, Llamas pointed out that agents moved directly toward the vehicle and attempted to make contact. “Let’s play the video, because something else happens right here. Those officers approach the vehicle, they try to open the door,” he said.
...
Moments later, the situation turned deadly. “And then, of course, what the driver does next — let’s play that video — trying to leave there. One of the officers felt like they were forced to fire, and they do,” Llamas said as the footage showed the vehicle moving.
A reverse angle made the danger even clearer. After freezing the frame, Llamas asked what investigators would take from it. Winter’s answer highlighted the core self-defense issue. “Well, this appears to show an officer right in front of the vehicle. That, and between the way that the vehicle was moving and the timeline of that, how was the officer responding in that split second gonna be critical for investigators,” he said.
