Just because the wife was mouthing off was NOT a reason to use deadly force.
It isn’t a justification but it shows how stupid and unhinged the people trying to obstruct ICE are.
I don’t think the shooting was justified, but WTF were they trying to accomplish exactly?
Who goes out and tries to antagonize and pick a fight with law enforcement trying to do their job? If I don’t like speeding enforcement should I follow state troopers around screaming at them, holding a cell phone in their face, and blowing whistles next to them all day?
The officers are doing what they are told. They can’t just decide not to do their job because you disagree with it. Of course they should try to stay cool… but they are also human and if you put them under enough pressure long someone will lose their cool.
There is no evidence the she was doing any of that, but generally, that would be an act of civil disobedience. The people assuming some risk to help right a wrong.
It doesn’t mean that you’ll get to murder someone, no matter how broken and pathetic you are.

I supported ICE prior to this and I view the death as unfortunate by justified. The posters claiming we should fear ICE because of this incident are spreading misinformation. I would never be killed by ICE, because I would never attempt to interfere with their operations like this woman did.
ICE agents are law enforcement officers, not nazis or some kind of gestapo as some on this thread have called them. Every other country and party in the world enforces its immigration laws. Democrats seem to be the only party/people in the world who believe that immigration enforcement is illegitimate.
Even the mullahs in Iran are warning protesters that they will be punishable by death. So no. Ross was not justified in aiming his gun at her, never mind pulling the trigger three times and executing her.
Obviously it wasn't right and yes he should be reprimanded, but under the circumstances, the understandable panic he felt, and the split second in which he acted, it was a massive f*** up, not "murder" like the far left wants so badly to believe.

I'm really impressed about how this panicked ICE officer who was fearing for his life as a vehicle was turning away from him managed to film it, pursue the vehicle, reach in, shoot the woman three times, and then call her a "f--king b---h" on the audio.
He sounds absolutely like a guy that's going to de-escalate a situation.

There’s no evidence she stalked or obstructed anyone. And refusal to follow orders does not justify deadly force.
She obstructed the agents by parking her car in the middle of the road, aiming to disrupt a federal law enforcement operation.
The wife admitted to the officers that they follow the agents around. That’s stalking.
They were very unpleasant individuals who believed they had the right to disrupt law enforcement operations.

They are not law enforcement officers. They are not enforcing law. They round up brown people and detain them.

+1. Also, wasn't this new video from his body cam, rather than a cell phone? So he wasn't holding the recording device in his hand.
No, it's from his cell phone, which was dropped as he went for his gun.
Or as he tried to get out of the way of the car that was heading towards him.
With her turning the steering wheel in the opposite direction? Are both of you this bad at physics?[/quote]
In that split second when the cop saw the car heading towards him, was he really supposed to realize that she was turning the wheel?
The car wasn't headed toward the cop in the moment she turned the wheel to the right. Rather, the cop stepped closer to the car.

He was watching her do that. He was filming her do that

Disagree. She was taunting him and aiming right at him.
Do you seriously think taunting (which by the way was coming from her partner, not her) justifies deadly use of force???
You might be a psychopath.
- prosecutor
She wasn't shot for taunting. She was shot for attempted murder
She was shot because the police officer who was in a panic (justifiably so), made a mistake.
