WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

No need to tell you what an old cynic like me is thinking......

It looked like the woman was in a panic and trying to get out of the way. The ICE officer was injured but taken to hospital and released. These ICE officers were not wearing body cameras - how convenient. If they'd been police officers there would have been body camera footage to show what really happened. It would be interesting to know what the local police think about the incident.

There was a video on the lunchtime news which shows that she was shot through the side window. The officer didn't look to be hurt to me.

Correct on both counts. This BBC Verify video is the most useful one I've seen so far: LINK
There's going to be big trouble from this. And it happened only a short distance from the George Floyd shooting on 25 May 2020. I wouldn't bet on Trump surviving this. Either he goes or it's civil war in the US.

See THIS BBC report about Goretti,
Storm Goretti has brought 99mph (159km/h) winds and heavy snow to the UK, with tens of thousands of people left without power. A rare red weather warning issued by the Met Office for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly has come to an end, but an amber warning for snow remains for much of the West Midlands, Wales, Gloucestershire and parts of Yorkshire. Officials in the Midlands are preparing for the "worst snow in a decade" as 30cm (11in) is expected to fall and disruption to travel is expected into the morning. More than 65,000 properties in south-west England are without power, according to the National Grid's website, with a 11,000 in the West Midlands and 2,600 in Wales also without power.
We would appear to getting the better end of the stick for once!

HERE'S the latest on the Twin City shooting.
2 hours ago
Minnesota officials say the FBI has blocked their access to an investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. People have taken to the streets of Minneapolis to protest the killing of 37-year-old Renee Good, who died on Wednesday after being shot in her car. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has accused the Trump administration of blocking state officials from involvement in the case, but the US vice-president said the investigation is a federal issue. Officials have offered differing accounts of the incident, with the Trump administration claiming the ICE agent was acting in self defence, while local officials say the woman posed no danger. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed the ICE agent shot Good multiple times because she was trying to run over the officer in her car. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation said it would investigate the incident. Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said the FBI had initially agreed to a joint investigation with state officials but then reversed course and denied the state access to materials and evidence. Without the ability to access all the necessary case materials and evidence, the BCA has "reluctantly withdrawn" from the investigation, the BCA's superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement.
This is very serious and is only just beginning.
