The woman who died brought the trouble upon herself. With numerous police agency officers in the street enacting an operation, a smart person does not get involved in any way, let alone try to impede or disrupt their operation. To get the full understanding of what occurred, you need to view the multi-angle videos carefully. The officer who fired upon her WAS HIT by her moving vehicle as she attempted to flee the scene. Clearly she became nervous and agitated as ICE agents yelled at her. If she was smart about the moment, what she should have done is NOT MOVE and let them approach her and take her out of the car. Obviously, though, she feared arrest and so was trying to get away. But her attempt was fueled by nervous energy and was acutely awkward, so she ended up hitting an officer in front of her vehicle. The video angle which captures this is tricky to view because there is a tree obstructing the view for part of the action. But careful examination shows she did hit the officer. Her grave mistake was the nervous decision to move the vehicle impulsively when surrounded by officers. Now, as for the shooting: It would have been easily considered justifiable if the woman driving the car was also visibly brandishing a weapon, but she was not. And after the action of hitting the officer with her vehicle transpire (a like-one-second moment)-- The officer instantly fired into her front window. The question then is WAS THIS NECESSARY? He clearly was not hurt badly, and her flight from the scene could possibly have been handled by local police pursuing her via tracking her plate number. Did any of the ICE officers get her plate number? Things happened so fast, perhaps not. So at the moment of the gunshot, she was two things: a hit-and-run driver and a political protest activist. Was the shooting in self-defense? AFTER the officer was hit by her vehicle and she moved on, was he in any further danger from her? Or did he overreact? One thing to realize though in mulling this over is that HIS PRESENCE in front of her vehicle was circumstantially a STOP MOVING order to her, which she ignored/defied. But this brings us back to the question that AFTER she hit him, was it appropriate to fire upon her, because as she swerved past him, he was seemingly no longer in danger from her. The woman and her actions were clearly in the wrong and were definitely provocative in that she was intentionally interfering with police activity. Did the officer overreact? That depends on the agency's rules of engagement, which will come out in hearings. So it is for now - a complex and controversial tragedy. However we can say this unequivocally.. THE FBI trying to prevent local police from doing a full investigation --is totally shady and obviously wrong.

It looks like she grazes him and swerves to drive off. He overreacts in that as she drives off, she's no longer an immediate threat. His rules of engagement are violated twice. He's not supposed to walk in front of a car during an "incident." And not supposed to shoot at an escaping car just to try and slow or stop it. He already had the plate number, so local police could have been sent for her.... But obviously she was an abject nutcase, as is her wife, and that due of loons brought this tragedy upon the woman now dead.
