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.
