Actually, the case law seems pretty clear in the other direction. Deadly force is not justified once an officer has evaded a vehicle that might hit them.

"Cases where police moved out of the way of moving vehicle and exercised deadly force": https://old.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1q6o4d0/comment/ny95v2...

As shown by the officers POV, it wasnt evaded. Lies spread faster than the truth.

The officer made the decision to ignore the law when making the unlawful stop.

The woman was acting in rational self defense to try to evade her attacker, the fact that her assailant had a badge is not relevant.

Protests against the woman's actions are in reality a call for an authoritarian police state.

The woman was there intentionally to instigate conflict with ICE. She pulled out infront of them, stopping on the road to get them to try to detain her. you should at least look into the issue before commenting about it.

Apparently I can use deadly force most days in the trader joes parking lot - I've had people come that close to hitting me on a weekly basis in Seattle. She made a bad decision that cost her her life. The ICE Agent made an incompetent unprofessional one that took a life. They are not the same.

Yeah, fucking die for your misdemeanor against non-law enforcement ICE agents, peasant trash!

We, who are not law enforcement officers and cannot detain citizens, surrounded your vehicle and gave you conflicting orders and one of us got in front of your car against department policy and drew his lethal firearm for a traffic infraction they cannot legally enforce, while you were distracted by the other attempting to rip you from your car, then blew your fucking brains out point blank after he was already out of danger.

You should have known better and reacted to this totally normal situation with perfect clarity, like all citizens are clearly trained for years to do.

Us, the masked and untrained and extrajudicial Gestapo who don't identify themselves while disappearing members of your community have no obligations to deescalation or proportional response, total immunity to all crimes, and can make you do anything we want while we whisk you to whatever prison we want while denying any official papers we want, and you aren't allowed to fear us!

Oh, and sorry we actually made you commit that traffic infraction by driving recklessly around you. We own the fucking roads and you should know that, dumb piece of shit civilian.

Are you fucking kidding me?

The blue propaganda machine told you what to think, and now that the officers POV was released its clear the woman intended to kill the officer.

Hillarious you write this knowing full well the DoJ is violating a law passed by congress saying every single one of the Epstein files had to be released 3 weeks ago.

The lawbreakers are running the country now.
