ICE related shooting in Minneapolis

Exactly! You fear for your life so much that you're able to hold your phone to film, pull out your gun to shoot 3 times and continue shooting while the car drives away.

 

I'm not sure how anyone could disagree with this assessment, but there they are, refusing to believe their own eyes.

 

With all of the videos currently out, I'm to the point where I think I can see everyone's POV on this except... sHe InTenTiOnALlY tRiEd tO rUn HiM oVeR.

Shouldn't have tried to drive off. Yep.
Shouldn't have stood in front of the vehicle. Yep.
Officer could have gotten out of the way. Yep.
Officer had a split second to react. Yep.

I can see how folks formed all of those opinions. The only thing I can't get behind is that the driver was intentionally trying to run over him (and by proxy trying to kill him). I just don't see how anyone can watch the officer POV video and come to that conclusion.

 

Probably because she didn't want to be assaulted by ICE goons who were calling her an effing bitch.

 

Again, you are misinterpreting "procedures." These are recommendations for what to do in the best of situations. I've been through thousands of hours of training where we were taught what to do in most situations but it does not cover everything. The answer that is often given to what to do in non-typical situations is "situation will dictate," ie make your best guess on the best way to handle the situation.

We have now gone from "attempting to flee" to "slow down/apprehend someone." Neither of those really apply in this case as the woman had demonstrated the willingness to use the vehicle as a deadly weapon, whether she meant to or not. The moment she struck the officer, he was entitled to respond with deadly force as he was facing a life threatening situation and the woman had demonstrated the willingness to use the vehicle as deadly weapon.

If you hit a LE officer with your vehicle, you can expect to be shot at as it is considered a deadly weapon, whether you meant to hit them or not. That would be true for states with stand your ground laws in the same situation. A motor vehicle is a deadly weapon if you hit someone with it.

 

There ya go- That's the democrat terrorist hate reply the American left loves.

 

Let me know when you're ready to talk about the terrorist Kristi Noem

 

Not just the American left. And it's only going to get worse for your side as public opinion continues to turn against Trump's goon squad.

 

If you lean forward towards a moving car instead of stepping aside what do you think will happen?

 

Here's a 25 year career federal agent, who worked for DHS and led use of force investigations, breaking down the shooting. Spoiler: he doesn't agree with you.

 

It’s a natural reaction when something is coming at you. Than your feet move. If he’s on ice it affects his balance. I suppose you could read about it.

 

The officer may have had tunnel vision? Maybe was trying to move? She may have had tunnel vision? Yeah after her vehicle went slightly forward than started to turn. Being on a slippery surface may also being playing a part? I’m no physics major.

I don’t believe she was intentional at all. It was the result of a shit set of circumstances. Too many variables to overcome. Like I posted before, if she would’ve followed directions, or if the fed didn’t stand in front of the car; this would be a non event. And a “stay at home mom” would be reading her kids bedtime stories.

 

Of course he doesn’t agree. I’m shocked. Love the arm chair qbs on here.

 

In a year or so we might see how 12 other armchair qbs feel about the situation

 

Body cam footage clears this up quite nicely…

 

I’m sure in your blood lust psychosis you’ll be tuned in 24/7 when it happens trying satiate your hate for Trump.

They’ll probably better informed than you and a few others on here too. A tad bid more objective too is my guess.

 

I could be wrong but I don't think that Trump would be the one on trial

 

"You should absolutely not be putting yourself in front of an idling vehicle unless absolutely necessary." That's two LEO veterans, on video, who have made that point.

Why did she drive away? She made a mistake. She paid for it with her life. But she's not the only one who made a mistake. The ICE Officer did too.

 

I think that is the general consensus on here, both made poor decisions. Thanks for letting us know….

 

Not armchair QBs. People with actual experience in this area. Here's another one.
