I cannot recall a time when a traditional police officer fled the scene...

after they shot someone.

That doesn't happen.

A simple question to be hammered by the press would be...why did this so called agent flee the scene? It only took him around 1 minute to get the hell out of there. After all, the "agent" was not under duress. He was performing "law enforcement activities", right?

He had no reason to be afraid, Kristi Noem. There was absolutely no danger to him. Unless you consider a camera phone and harsh words to be a danger to these mental midgets that you hire...Kristi.

This shooting is hitting me hard. This is just one of the things that is eating me up. WHY DID HE FLEE THE SCENE, KRISTI?

Get on TV with your puffy lips and ridiculous cowboy hat and answer that fucking question.

Did he flee because he "feared for his life" because he was getting yelled at by an unarmed woman?

Well Kristi, that probably happens most times innocent civilians are killed by a cop.

Trained officers do not flee the scene.

Let's see what Kristi Noem has to say about that.

I guess the right answer might be...because they are not law enforcement officers at all.

They are untrained goons who wear masks, flee the scene of a crime, and have no accountability for their actions.

Has anyone in the press ask her why he fled?

I'd like to see how she spins that answer.

a domestic terrorist when her body was still warm...no careful review of the facts, just a rush to shove any perceived opposition into that so-useful 'terrorist' box...Noem is relishing her time in the spotlight."

They obviously weren't providing medical aid. Nor were they allowing anyone else to. But more than one of them reached into the car in the immediate aftermath.

Where the "agent" refused to allow a physician access to check for a pulse?

Not only are these people "untrained"...they are dead stupid.

And they are murderous.

I don't know what the hell they are, but they are not cops!

And I caught your play on words there. Well done.

It is top tier gaslighting.

We need to see those medical records. And Trump’s ER records when he was allegedly shot in the ear.

and anger, but I can't let this go. Our president and his DHS secretary coming out to lie to our faces is disgraceful and dangerous. The videos are everywhere. We can see what happened.

There was a short documentary nominated at the Academy Awards last year regarding a shooting in Chicago a few years back where two of the officers involved drove away in chaotic aftermath.
