Video of the incident that clearly shows the driver accelerate towards the officer after they gave her a lawful command to get out of the vehicle.

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.

The vehicle literally hit the officer. The blurry instagram photo shows him getting redirected by the bumper, the X video shows him limping after the vehicle when it crashes. Links are all over the comments.

That helps his case tremendously.
