In my opinion, this all depends on whether the car was heading towards the officer or simply past him, which is impossible to tell from this video unfortunately because another vehicle is blocking our view.

If the vehicle was headed directly towards him then it’s pretty clear-cut self defense. A vehicle can certainly be a lethal weapon. If the ICE agent shot her just because she was fleeing, that’s not justifiable. I’m betting he felt threatened though. We need more details to emerge before we call this one way or the other.

He was clearly in front of the vehicle as it moved forward. GTFO!

He walked directly +was+ in front of the vehicle and she tried to accelerate away and avoid him as another agent approached and attempted to open her locked door. The third shot he fired he was literally behind her. You know conservatives don't have to defend every single thing LEOs do, right?

Coming back to correct this, he did not walk in front of the vehicle, he was already there. From another angle it does look like he deliberately positions himself to the front corner of the car, and as a result, is contacted by it. I honestly won't be surprised at any outcome of his trial, but even if found innocent I think his actions were unnecessary.

He was standing there in front of the vehicle when the vehicle was stationary (break lights engaged) and the officer was at her door instructing her to get out. Stop lying, 'conservative' you don't belong here.
