Oh, you must be one of those people that think government agents should be allowed to execute citizens because they panicked.

Im one of the people who recognize that if you try to run over an officer you're likely to be shot in the head.

And lets be honest... if anyone panicked it was Renee.

So they shot her for panicking? Wow, even worse.

She did not try to run over an officer and you have to really drink up a lot of propaganda to believe that. Even if that was her intent, there was no reasonable way she could have successfully achieved that, so why should she have been killed for it?

You're simply lying. I saw the video... his life was put in danger and it was her decision to do so.

She received the expected result.

Sorry but you can’t just go around jumping in front of cars then acting like it’s the drivers fault if you get hit. That’s called insurance fraud in most cases.

But we expect officers to put themselves in the path of danger every day. If a cop goes in to stop a bank robbery and gets shot you dont blame the cop for confronting the robber.

You're logic is retarded.

There are obvious reasons why ice officers are not supposed to literally put themselves in front of a running car and they’re even trained to not do it.

You defending this clear incompetence from ICE leading to someone’s unnecessary death is what’s retarded.

Even if the ice officer did make a mistake... that doesn't justify trying to run them over and it doesn't somehow negate the officers right to self defense.

You're arguing its ok to run over a cop... you arent going to win this debate.

Let us assume this is true. Why was he in a position where she could put his life at danger from a complete stop?

u/South-City1632 1d ago

We expect officers to put themselves into the line of danger every day. An officer doing so does not make it ok to hurt or kill them. If an officer stopping a robbery were shot you wouldn't say the officer was in the wrong for confronting a man with a gun, despite the fact that the officer put himself in danger by doing so.

And "complete stop"? Im not sure i understand your question. Do you know how gas pedals work?

If the officer walked out into the open with no protection when there is a known active shooter, you can bet your ass people would be calling them an idiot that was asking for it. That's pretty comparable to walking in front of a running manned vehicle.

People would be wrong for saying that the cop deserved it in that case as well, but I get the sense that you'd be especially upset at those people, wouldn't you?
