Then maybe he shouldn't be back out in the fucking field yet.
Too bad it was nearly, or Renee would probably be alive.
Maybe hes too incompetent to be i the field, considering hes put himself in harms way twice now in the same way.
Not to mention maybe don’t approach the front of a vehicle that was already in the process of trying to move before you stood in front of it?
How else do you get to shoot people?
Step 1: find moving car
Step 2: Jump in front or back of it depending on its direction.
Step 3: shoot when they don't stop.
Step 4: my life was in danger I had to shoot them!
It wasn’t just shooting. He calmly reached into the open window, put his gun up to her head, and murdered her. Then just as calmly walked away. The scariest part was just how matter of fact he was about murder for no justifiable reason
Sounds to me like she was understandably following all of that safety advice of "What to do when a masked lunatic tries to carjack you at gunpoint" and get the heck out of there.
What if she did comply? Would she get pulled out and beaten, harassed for hours, and eventually released? Or instead suddenly find herself on a cargo plane to a blacksite death camp in friggin Djibouti? It's insane that we can't know. No friggin' WONDER she took her chances with fleeing!
If that's okay then maybe people should start stepping out in front of ICE vehicles with a gun and do "self defense."
Brilliant.
Lethal force is not justified by being a little bitch.
He just did what they wanted him to do. This was all planned.
Agreed. Though I would add, HE really wanted to do it himself, of his own sociopathy and deep insecurities, or he would have taken the much easier route and ignored them, letting someone else have the shot. He had to break inertia to unholster his gun.
You're right, his superiors all the way up the chain absolutely wanted him to do it: they are desperate to the point of insane about avoiding midterms now.
But make no mistake. HE really wanted to do it, and do it under the cover of law. HE wanted to shoot an unarmed person who presented no threat and to know he got away with it, plus get whatever bonus people get for doing their dirty work.
The objective is fear and intimidation. They demonstrate their power by lying about it.
Maybe the first instance was his fault too and he should have been fired not sent back out for duty
Fuck his feelings.
source: all of his supporters.
Where I come from, we call that a motive, not an excuse.
Awwww was baby feeling sensitive?
Pretty rich coming from these "warrior" tough guy assholes
He walked around the vehicle and positioned himself to simultaneously be in “danger” of getting hit as well as being able to get out of the way and kill the driver.
Apparently the agent videoed it as well and you can see that as she’s moving the car back and then forward, her focus was on the guy trying to open the car door until the last second. There was zero intent to run over the agent.
