Perhaps he thought she saw him there. Even if not, that's a question of tactics prior to the shooting (and I've heard different opinions here regarding what is acceptable or prescribed behavior in that case). Unless you are saying he saw her lurch backwards and said to himself "self, if she comes forward I'm going to shoot her in the face!" Which, as I said, is a theory.

Horseman 2,816 Posted 18 hours ago 28 minutes ago, TimHauck said: IANAL but looked like a misdemeanor. Would be nice if there was additional video of what was happening prior though. Let me fill you in. After they dropped the kid off the lesbian girlfriend talked her into going down there to get in the way and cause trouble. Which she now greatly regrets. Should be a lesson to all purple hairs non-contibotor crying about the government that supports them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor policy, thrown together by a bunch of politicians and kiss ass bureaucrats. I'm sure there was incompetence at play. Hopefully it can be something of a teachable moment. Speaking of teachable moments: it would be nice if the Left would learn that "protesting" does not involve parking sideways in the middle of a street to obstruct ICE activities. Unfortunately, during the 3 months of the Summer of Love we taught them that they could take over sections of cities with impunity (with which I'm sure you are quite familiar), so it might be a hard habit to break. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 3,516 Posted 18 hours ago Here’s about 5 seconds of additional footage prior to the widely watched video at about 2:00, you can just see one additional car drive by so doesn’t give much more context. Also shows a lot of the aftermath, including Greg Bovino being there. @Maximum Overkill might enjoy the person being interviewed at 13:00, who said he/she lived around the corner. Guessing this is some sort of lib neighborhood which may have been why ICE or CBP was there in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 5,565 Posted 18 hours ago ICE officers trained never to approach a vehicle from the front, DHS official says ICE officers are trained to never approach a vehicle from the front and instead to approach in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News. Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said. ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 16,175 Posted 17 hours ago 1 hour ago, Fnord said: Your analogy is bad because you're making an incorrect assumption about me. ICE agents are not trained as well as normal LEOs. Many of those signing up are basically street thugs that want to make cash and go aggro on some folks, they don't care who. I suspect your feelings would be vastly different if your political leanings weren't as they are, just as you think the same of me. If you think that was justified, good for you.
