New angle shows Good blocking the street and honking before the shooting.

88. Find myself wondering: how many people who say she was blocking traffic have ever driven on icy roads

Even if there isn't a lot of other vehicles and commotion, icy roads are tricky and often require slow movement and frequently movement different from dry pavement driving.

Couple icy pavement with ICE-capades chaps shouting conflicting orders, school drop off line traffic, and people lawfully exercising their right of public protest and the stress on everybody was abnormal.

Then you throw in a hot head with a history of not being especially prudent around people who don't instantly obey and one gets a shit show. But the shooter is SUPPOSED to be a trained professional and that implies a temperament of being able to handle stress better than most. Obviously that was not the case here.

There have been mentions that Ross had been a LEO prior to going to ICE. Need to verify, but I read he was in Border Patrol. That is an agency known for some officers being, shall we say, sometimes foolishly vigorous and/or quick tempered in how they deal with people. Evidently getting in front of vehicles is not uncommon among officers in BP.

Disclosures:
Icy road driving experience: I lived for many years in Montana.

BP observation experience: I can see Mexico from my home now, and there is ample opportunity to observe, and read about BP behaviors. About half the people I know are brown and they have stories to tell.

And I know an immigration attorney who is very forthcoming with information born of his experience.
