Why does he step in front of the car?? And why not get out of the way when she backs up, clearly intending to drive off?
The onus is ALWAYS on the driver in the U.S. in general and the law is on the books in Minnesota. He, on foot, can walk anywhere he wants, even stand in the middle of the street and motorists must yield. You cannot use a vehicle as a weapon to harm a human body, even if you’re upset/overwhelmed or feel righteously justified. If there is a physical confrontation or contact, the driver has very little, if any, defense. And, this is inconvenient for those who want to ignore it, as a federal agent, he has the right to move about the scene and order/make interlopers leave. Even if he says so “rudely”, as someone earlier whined. Even if “legal observers” don’t like his job or the agency he serves.
They told her to move, she moved.
The opportunity for her to safely move her car had passed. She failed to move it when she could safely do so. Once officers got out, approached her car, at were literally touching her car telling her to get out- multiple officers right next to her car- she could no longer safely maneuver her car and should have gotten out. I don’t even back out of parking spot if someone is within several feet of my car- for fear of accidentally hitting someone
None of that creates legal justification for killing her.
Lots of people cosplaying as online lawyers here.
Can anyone link to a detailed legal analysis by, or an interview with, an actual attorney with experience evaluating use of deadly force by LE?
Firing on fleeing suspects has been illegal for almost as long as I am alive and I had a colonoscopy this week.
Did the doctor go too far with the probe and damage your brain?
She wasn’t fleeing; she was protesting there all day long as part of her “ICE-watch” group and then placed an officer in imminent fear of a violent death.

Because in protest training that's what we're taught to do. Try to talk through your actions. Move deliberately.
I know she probably wasn't trained (just like the ICE agents aren't) but I wonder if some part of her made these choices as a flashpoint. I'm sorry she was murdered. But glad we're collectively mobilizing around this.
She clearly says “I’m pulling out” in the video.

So I can jump out in front of traffic and start shooting at drivers, and that's perfectly legal?

That video clearly shows the agent was not hit by the car, or even close to being in harms way.
Not even close to being in harms way? I can’t believe you can type that with a clear conscience. All three of those people near the car were 100% in harms way.
You can’t be taken seriously if you think this was a low stakes situation with no chance for things to go sideways.
