[quote=Anonymous]Officer Ross actually leaned in a little bit, almost to make the car hit him.

He walked right in front of the car, intending to shoot her from the start.

Remember, he was working for US Border Patrol until about 2015, when agents used tactics like this to get dinged by a car so they could justify shooting the driver as "self defense".

He knew what he was doing - this was no accident.

[quote]Report Criticizes Border Patrol's Use Of Deadly Force

An independent review of 67 cases in which Border Patrol agents used deadly force found that in some of them "[b]agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers[/b] and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border."

Apparently agents would lean towards oncoming cars just enough to claim they were hit  when they were angry that the drivers wouldn't follow orders. They thought it was a loophole - and I'm sure it works, except when there are so many videos.
