I 100% believe he was acting in self defense after watching the video, but I agree shots 2 and 3 were likely overkill. That being said, God knows what any of us would do in a potentially life threatening situation. |

How was she supposed to know that they were ICE agents?
As a woman, I would be TERRIFIED if masked men tried to open my car door and pull me out. I would absolutely try to drive away from them and get to safety. |
He didn't need to shoot to take a minor step to the side. |

Right. The other cars were able to drive around her, but this guy just stops, gets out, and screams at her to "open the [effing] door". |
But he wasn’t “any of us.” He was and LEO with specific training for exactly these types of situations. |
How many time are you allowed to fire if someone is trying to kill you with their car? |
While they are driving away from you? |
Let's find a case where somebody was trying to kill somebody with a car and we can discuss. |
LEO training says zero times. Do not shoot at a moving/fleeing vehicle or person. |
| Both her ex-husband and mother said she was not an ICE activist, and CBS is reporting she just moved to MN and had just dropped off her kid at school. |
In that split second he had no idea if she was fleeing or trying to hit him. |
The only illegal thing she did was a driving infraction. It’s not the job of ICE to enforce traffic laws. The ICE agent clearly was able to drive around the woman’s car because he drove around her then got out and walked back to her. He should have called 911 to report a vehicle in the road. He had no reason to suspect an illegal immigrant which is the only thing he’s supposed to be investigating. |
There are hundreds of these cases of police acting in self-defense: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/2006/06/14/alexandria-officer-who-shot-teen-is-not-charged-span-classbankheadaction-in-ihop-incident-deemed-reasonablespan/acfe0d69-6db6-4b37-9c0a-af32519b7267/ |
