This all hinges on the salient point: The LEO should never have been in the position in front of the vehicle. Training manuals (I've cited here before) for both ICE and DHS are very clear about this.

There were umpteen ways to stop that woman from getting very far should she choose to bolt. Use of deadly force was not one of them.

Of course, the Keystone Kops in charge of Federal LE(FBI, etc) are determined to protect this guy, when he should be in custody.

This. She was doing something stupid... But the ICE guys had no need to do what they did and in the United States of America in the absence of a violent crime, our collective law enforcement agencies should never seek to kill as step #1.

Run her plates and arrest her and charge her appropriately. She was wrong to pull out and deliberately obstruct anyone, particularly federal agents on an assigned case. Even if that Federal agency is wholely compromised the protests should be peaceful and done legally unless you simply have to respond.

ICE GUY, singular.

Training manuals do not normally cover parked vehicles sideways in the middle of the road. The Agent was walking around the vehicle videoing. I am assuming for evidence.
 
They would be losing their damn minds if she had been an abortion protester. Better yet, if this had happened during the Jan 6th insurrection.
It did happen Jan 6th. And that was a justified homicide as well, even though Bobbitt was unarmed. Another horrible tragedy that could have been avoided.

This is just my personal opinion. But, if it was me and i was simply videoing to get evidence, my first reaction would have been to get out of the way because hey, ive got her license plate already. Pulling the gun and shooting in the vehicle wouldnt have been on my radar at that point.

there is no way this is justifiable use of lethal force no matter how hard folks are trying to spin it otherwise

The current conservative wisdom seems to be that ICE tactics and behavior aren't relevant. States, local governments, and citizens should get out of the way and implicitly trust the federal government when it comes to immigration enforcement. It's regrettable if bodily harm or death follows when not taking that advice, but totally the fault of the victim and the "enablers."

the current conservative wisdom is that dear leader can do no wrong, he can only be wronged. there appear to be many paths that folks take to get to this “truth”

The training is clear, you never position yourself in front or behind a car that may move. I've had this personally told to me by both a HSV PD officer and a Madison County Sheriff's Deputy this week and the training manuals were posted on one of the ICE threads. You approach from the side.

Both local LEOs (conservative guys) feel that the lady was absolutely wrong, but that the ICE guys were even more wrong in jumping out and approaching with weapons drawn in that setting. They both emphasized that this was a traffic stop and you do not escalate in that situation when you can get the plate and take care of it later.
 
Well.. Yes, but he was not alone.
So are we talking about pulling a firearm and shooting a motorist or telling a motorist to move from the middle of the road. Because only one pulled a firearm from its holster from what I can see. Multiple agents got out of their vehicle to get the car moved.
 
Hey, we've now reached the point where that oppressive regime that mandates we all get to buy Uzis because gubment is firing apparently at will on folks.


PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot two people in Portland on Thursday afternoon, according to the FBI, Portland police and city officials.
Yesterday, two suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates—let loose on American streets by Joe Biden—weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. The agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them.

The driver of the vehicle, Luis David Nico Moncada is a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and suspected Tren de Aragua gang member. He illegally entered the U.S. in 2022 and was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration. Since then, he was arrested for DUI and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He has a final order of removal.

The passenger, Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras is a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and is associated with Tren de Aragua. She illegally entered the U.S. in 2023 near El Paso, Texas, and was RELEASED into this country by the Biden administration. Since illegally entering, Contreras played an active role in a Tren de Aragua prostitution ring and was involved with a prior shooting in Portland.

I wish Trump's government mouthpieces would stick to the facts rather than polluting their releases with political rhetoric. That would make it a lot easier to actually take them seriously. As it is, they're no better than One America or Newsmax.
 
I am sure this is nobody's intent here, but the best way to increase the number of fatal interactions between citizens and police is to tell the citizens that, if they think they are morally right, they do not have to follow directions from law enforcement.
And that threatening a law enforcement officer with physical violence will cause the law enforcement officer to stop engaging in behavior any particular citizen believes is wrong.
I have never been a police officer, but I just do not think police think that way. If you threaten a cop's security, bad things are going to happen.
