FTA:
Law enforcement trains you over and over again how to recognize a potentially life-threatening situation. There are very specific rules for when it's appropriate to deploy lethal force, and we've spent decades introducing new safeguards at the federal, state, and local level aimed at trying to ensure that "bad shoots" become less common. When they do happen, there are policies in place to help ensure irresponsible cops are held accountable. Compare that to the reality we are now witnessing: Trump has encouraged his federal agents to act like an occupying force. In the bluntest possible terms, he has encouraged them to use maximum force against citizens, and has promised they will be shielded from any consequences for doing so.

ICE is a street gang.

I was a cop for 20 yrs & never shot innocent people in cars
Well, if that's the only qualifier, she was clearly guilty. And shooting innocent people walking on the sidewalk or grilling in their yards is on the table.
The world is your oyster!

Republicans want ICE to shoot protesters.
This isn't rocket science.
Just like I'm sure there were Republicans who said the National Guard should have shot more protesters at Kent State.

From what I saw in the videos, the ICE agent was not fully focused upon who and why he was shooting.
His attention looked to be split between using his cell phone in one hand, with his gun in the other hand.
Did his training say it was be OK to shoot someone three times with one hand while using a cell phone in the other hand?
Where was his focus of attention?

ICE are domestic terrorists and will be dealt with appropriately.
