This is pretty much what one would expect.

Tl;Dr:The officer should have simply stepped aside, not that he was injured…

    He got in the way, had plenty of time to move, AND she wasnt moving fast. He’s a nazi and a murderer. I hope they all get what they deserve frankly. Life in prison at the bare minimum

    I’ve read some of the policies of my local law enforcement agencies, and some specifically say that shooting at a moving vehicle is stupid. I can’t remember an exact quote, but it went something like ‘it is more expedient to move out of the way of a charging vehicle…’

      As he did.

      DHS Also has rules banning shooting at moving vehicles.

      But it is very clear from the video framed from behind the victims car… During all 3 shots both his feet can be seen to the left of the car.

      Killing the driver of a car heading towards you is about the dumbest way to stop a car. Even if the driver was intent on hitting a person. A dead driver is unable to take his foot of the pedal.

      Also. Given the position of the windscreen bullet hole. No angle where the shooter is in the front of the car. Would he be aiming at the driver. In fact he would have to be aiming at the other ICE agent. Or the driver would have to have her head outside the window, while the videos make it clear she was not.

      This was a murder. His past experience may be his motivation. But self defense clearly was not.

      So, I’ve alway had enough situational awareness to keep away from in front of moving cars… But a person can move laterally much quicker than a car can anyhow.

      If this is supposed to be someone that’s worked there 10 years?

      Speaks to their selectivity and training, I think.

    the ‘rules’ really dont matter in that country, or matter to that country
