The video shows she turns the vehicle away from the officer and the officer makes no effort to retreat or step away from the vehicle. This is in direct conflict with ICE and DHS use of force policy.

He was moving to assist with an arrest another officer was in the process of making, and it is clear in the video that she looked forward and saw the officer in front of her and decided to accelerate anyway. It doesn't matter if she thought she wouldn't have hit him if she turned hard enough to the right, she hit him anyway.

Again, that is not what the evidence shows, and you are free to follow along as the officer is prosecuted for official confirmation of the facts of the case.

Prosecuted? He will not even spend a single day in court. You are vastly under-estimating how clearly-cut this is in the officer's favor.

The local prosecutor is collecting evidence currently, so while it may take time to indict considering murder charges against a federal officer, I expect to see it occur eventually. They are bypassing the FBI to avoid a lack of effort one would expect from this administration.

The Governor and mayor do not agree at all that it is in his favor. Nor does The NY Times. I've watched dozens of people break down the video, including former LE who say the officer was clearly in the wrong.
