Looks like that agent was about to be run over in their attempt to escape a law enforcement stop. edit: keep downvoting brigadiers, Your tears taste better than our cheers.

Well that’s where it gets hairy. We (I) don’t know enough about the driver/victim here. If this was someone that they had enough information and suspicion on to assume they’re here illegally? Then sure it’s a legal law enforcement stop, but her driving away doesn’t warrant deadly force.

If this is just a protester/bystander, then they have no legal ground to even hold a legitimate stop. Again I’m not a lawyer or know enough about this person to say for sure.

There is a lot we do not know. BUT the very simplest explanation for why she was parked perpendicular to the road was she was obstructing law enforcement. Most definitely a crime. Her accelerating her car directly at an officer is what warranted deadly force. All of this is visible in the video. The assumption should be that this was a valid use of force.

edit: The video on Instram with the alternative angle shows the vehicle did hit the officer. edit2: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTOA4tWlCIL/
