That video doesn't show the officer that shot, that you say was hit, reaching for and unholstering his weapon as she was reversing and then stepping into the turn cicle in front of the car to fire at her.
If he got hit then it was as a result of placing himself there in order to shoot the driver.
Legally, this is clear unjustified use of force.
The driver backed up, turned wheel prior to moving forward, and drove forward to leave.
During this, the ICE officer advanced, drawing his weapon, stepped into the turn circle of the vehicle, fired, and then jumped out of the way.
It's unclear whether he was hit, it is clear that he moved in front of the vehicle to fire with the intent of then moving out of danger.
At worst he skimmed across the rounded corner of the bonnet as a result of his own actions.
It's very clear from the video that she had no intention of running him over, he shoots after the car is past him.
The few that I've seen so far appear authenic, cover a few angles, and show three ICE agents about the car
* one that approached from the side and attempted to open the door causing the woman to back up, turn and leave,
* another that approached from the front and drew to fire when it became clear the car was going to leave,
* a third that stood back a little doing very little.
It is certainly not. Nor is shooting someone in the face. Only one of those things actually happened.
It's possible to believe this woman was an asshole and an agitator and that her death was needless and intentional.
(I don't necessarily mean the Minneapolis case - for example, consider the Shaver shooting)
Hey, any thoughts on this short NYT video analysis?
She wasn’t blocking the road intentionally. You can see her wave an ice vehicle through and they pass just fine.
She did not violently escape and she did not need to be arrested then and there. They had her license plate and she lived nearby. They would’ve picked her up in no time.
That officer put himself in danger and took a life for no reason. You are a sycophant mindlessly regurgitating the party line. You can’t see the truth in front of you
No, you didn't. And the fact that you're consistently lying about the sequence of events in said video does not help your case. Again, what do you get from lying about this?
