  • Seeing all of these videos synced up, it looks like the ICE agent was partially in front of her vehicle when it started moving forward, and thus could easily have been frightened of being ran over. But lets put any other person besides this man in the same scenario. If I was in front of this car and was afraid that I was going to be ran over, my very first thought would be to get the fuck out of the way. I understand this scenario could put anyone into flight-or-fight mode and thus would make logical thinking difficult (even though I think people in this profession should be trained to think thoroughly in scenarios like this? But I digress) how is the first thought “fight” if you think this car is coming to run you over?

    Edit: I phrase it this way not because I’m defending him - I’m imagining what the argument would be about “him having to make a split second decision” and it being “in self-defense” and refuting it by saying that most reasonable people could defend themselves in this situation by dodging out of the fucking way.
