A U.S. woman who was shot by a Border Patrol agent in October has expressed her outrage at the latest incident of a federal officer shooting a civilian, this time in Minneapolis.
Marimar Martinez, who suffered seven gunshot wounds during the October incident in Chicago, told her lawyer that she and her client had "both said, 'Of course this happened.'" Parente stated that these similar scenarios would continue to occur.
Martinez's lawyer believes that the government has failed to take any measures to prevent such incidents from happening. He pointed out that despite claims from top-ranking officials that Martinez was a "domestic terrorist," the charges against her were ultimately dropped.
The Minneapolis shooting highlights the ongoing issue of federal agents using excessive force, particularly when dealing with motorists who have been involved in minor collisions with government vehicles. The incident has sparked renewed calls for reform and greater accountability within law enforcement agencies.
Martinez's experience is just one example of the many cases of police violence that have occurred across the United States. Her story serves as a reminder that such incidents are not isolated events, but rather part of a larger pattern of abuse of power by those in positions of authority.

another incident, another cop loses control 
it's like they think dey above de law. what's goin on wit dis? 
marimar's story is just a microcosm of de problem we got here. too many cases of police brutality, too many innocent ppl losin life. 
need more accountability, need more reform 
stuff! Like, can't we just have a peaceful conversation on the side of the road without someone trying to blow us away? 
I mean, what's going on here is not okay - it's like they're just treating people like they're some kind of crazy person or something. Marimar's story is so tragic and it's just heartbreaking that she had to go through this 
.
. I mean, come on! We need accountability for our law enforcement agencies - it's time for them to take responsibility for their actions 
.
. We need to keep pushing for change until these kinds of incidents stop happening! 
like we're stuck in some kind of loop where law enforcement is given carte blanche to use force and it's all just swept under the rug... i mean, what does it take for us to recognize that these actions are unacceptable? that the fact that a person can be shot by a federal agent for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time is somehow justifiable? it's like we're all just sleepwalking through this, waiting for someone else to wake us up and tell us that this isn't the world we want to live in 
It's just so... predictable. These officers are getting away with murder (no pun intended) and the system is just letting them off scot-free. Like, what even is the point of having a justice system if they're just gonna drop all charges because some suits at the top think someone's a "domestic terrorist"? 
It's not like that's ever happened before... 
I mean, she was shot 7 times and it was all because of a minor collision with a government vehicle? That's just not right! What if the agent had just pulled her over for a normal traffic stop? Would that have happened? 
. The government needs to step up and do some serious reform, you know? More accountability, better training for these agents... something has to change 
.
. we need to keep pushing for reform and greater accountability within law enforcement agencies, but it's not going to be easy 
. It's time to hold those in power accountable for their actions and make sure everyone is treated equally under the law, regardless of who they are or where they come from
