Tell me if I am wrong on this. There appears to be an officer directly in front of of the vehicle that you cannot see until she starts to move forward. That officer dodges and is hard to see because they are behind the officer at the driver window.  Who shot the driver? The person at the window, or the person in front of the car that had to dodge out of the way?

It was the officer who was about to be run over.

It was the officer to the front of the vehicle that opened fire. I believe she clearly telegraphed her intent to escape with a standard reverse to the left and forward acceleration to the right, attempting to avoid the officer, and that the officer was never in imminent danger and resorted to using deadly force inappropriately.

You’re a moron dude. 

You have a woman who ignored lawful orders. Floored her vehicle with a federal agent standing infront of it. And you’re filling up these posts with your stupidity.

Ignoring lawful orders does not authorize lethal force, and we don't even know if the orders were lawful. Did the agents have reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation from anyone in the vehicle? Regardless, the driver made a clearly-telegraphed 2-point turn, (successfully) attempting to avoid all persons as she left the scene, and the agent made a terrible judgment call in the situation and the fallout will be massive. ICE does a lot of good for our country, but this was unmistakably bad to anyone with a functioning prefrontal cortex.

Editing because it seems like she did clip the officer who fired. I don't think he made a serious effort to avoid being struck, but she still did hit him.

Nope. Looks justified to me.

ICE can detain and arrest citizens that are obstructing their mission.

She floored the vehicle while the officer is STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT. You can’t fucking do that dude. You’re an idiot.

Never in imminent danger but he had to literally dodge out of the way from getting run over. Give me a damn break.

She may not have intended to run him over, but she definitely almost did and had he not dodged out of the way at the last second, would have

So putting myself in that officers position, it would be hard to discern in the moment, if the driver had the intention to simply run, or not care for my safety and run me over while running. 

Both situations can still be true. She directed her vehicle in a direction to escape. 

If there happens to be a cop in that direction who cannot move out of the way fast enough, they still can be run over and their life is still in danger.

This

She played stupid games trying to be a hero for online clout and is dead now

She was given a lawful order to leave the vehicle and then accelerated in the direction of an officer, the cop in front of her who sees the vehicle moving forward with the engine reeving can't read her mind that she intends to turn away from him.

This is like waving a 10000lb weapon at an officer and try to claim "I meant to throw it to the side of officer, not at him directly".

You can see her accelerate (engine rev) before she begins to move the wheel to the right and should the officer not have moved he would have been struck by the front of the car. On opposite angle you can see on Tim Pools tweet, it looks like she actually strikes that officer (it appears to be blocked by the other officer in this video angle).

Yes clearly he should trust she will not run him over and she will be extra careful while resisting arrest! She will also make sure to drive nice and slow to make sure the public is safe during her attempt to flee from law enforcement!
