It's beautiful. Almost makes the cost of RAM worth it.

Surely you understand that the only two options are not "they are just there by coincidence" and "they are waiting to murder you"?
Sure, the option that I would believe in that situation would be "they are there for the purpose of committing the crime of obstructing law enforcement," and I would approach the situation with that in mind, and you admit this:
The couple were obviously there to document, protest and/or obstruct ICE activities.
Notably, obstruction being a federal crime which, being federal law enforcement, they have the authority to make arrests for.
nobody would have been hurt if the agent had made the slightest attempt to act like a responsible authority figure and deescalate the situation
I really don't know how to get through to you the very simple fact that law enforcement has zero obligation to be kind to lawbreakers, and in fact, being unkind to lawbreakers is their explicit role in society, and if you do not wish law enforcement to be unkind to you, it is very easy to not commit crimes. How have you managed to reach adulthood without understanding this?
or if he had given her a chance to follow his orders in order to arrest her.
She did have an opportunity to follow orders and comply peacefully with her arrest. She used that opportunity to shift her car into drive and accelerate into a police officer. Did you watch the video?
My dude, her actions leading up to this video are crimes punishable by up to a year in federal prison.
Arresting lawbreakers is actually a pretty reasonable goal for a law enforcement officer, actually, and I would expect any productive approach to doing this to involve physically apprehending the suspect.
I'm pretty sure that willingness to physically apprehend someone you intend to arrest is exactly the temperament that is required for a job that involves arresting people. Meanwhile, accelerating your vehicle directly into a police officer in response to someone trying to arrest you indicates that you do not have the appropriate temperament to be spending your free time deliberately antagonizing law enforcement.
