    He is a supposed “law enforcement officer” he assumes a risk. That doesn’t mean you get to shoot people.

    I’ve seen justifiable shootings by police. This isn’t it.

    “That very ICE officer nearly had his life ended … six months ago,” Vance said, referring to a car-dragging incident with the agent.

    “You think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him?”

    Then maybe he shouldn’t be back out in the fucking field yet.

        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!

        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.

        There is no statute of limitations on murder.

        The feds will protect him, but that’s only guaranteed for as long as the current regime is in power. Even if the next administration (or the one after that, or the one after that, etc) isn’t inclined to make a federal case out of it, they could easily decide to just not obstruct justice and cooperate, handing everything over to the state.

    So he’s a fucking dumbass who doesn’t know not to be near a moving vehicle. There’s a reason cops stay like an arms length away during a traffic stop and ask you to turn off the car.

    IF the report of the last incident is to be believed (I don’t):

    • He escalated the earlier incident by breaking the dudes window and reaching in.
    • He either got caught on the glass he himself broke, or he kept holding on as the car started moving.
    • He knows how to not use lethal force (he tased the last victim)

    If he’s “sensitive” about getting dragged he shouldn’t be out in the field. Nor should he be approaching vehicles.

    The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Thursday that the agent who killed Good was the same officer dragged by a suspect in Bloomington last June. Although Ross was not named in the 13-page indictment of the driver, he is identified in several court records filed in the case, including photo exhibits from the hospital. He is also listed by name as a witness.

    Nice sleuthing.

    A law enforcement source, who is not authorized to speak publicly, confirmed that Ross is the shooter.

    So because he got 20 stitches after smashing in a car window attacking another driver he’s allowed to shoot people in the head.

    Also, Couchfucker got to smear the shit on this story while announcing a new “special” AG office to investigate fraud . . . starting in Minnesota. Purely coincidentally.

      Well, we don’t know exactly, but the court documents state that he was dragged after smashing the driver’s window, reaching in, and trying to open the door from the inside. The driver panicked (rightfully) and tried to drive away.

          It absolutely does, just like putting an agent who’s still "sensitive’ about vehicle stops on an operation where he’s stopping vehicles.

          Almost like the DHS and ICE are run by deeply unqualified people with none of the requisite training.
