He knows (or absolutely should know) better. Their qualified (not absolute) immunity goes away if it’s determined that they violated someone’s civil rights. Which they may have done here. But it’s usually too late, because the agency that threatens to bust down your door with guns blazing is difficult to sue if they shoot you
Well they didn’t kill 10 million in a day did they? No atrocities start off the bat like that. At the beginning Nazis weren’t appearing as a threat. However we have been putting people in “ICE detention centers” depriving them of food and water, have been told to call ICE if we suspect a person is illegal (racial profiling), and now are witnessing ICE executing people and being told that they have Absolute Immunity…
Detention centers have been a thing throughout the entire history of of ICE. I fully agree that there needs to be immediate changes in the way ICE is handled under the Trump administration, but to call him a Nazi is undermining the atrocities committed in Germany by actual Nazis. If Trump finds a way to run (and win) a 3rd term, I’d be much more inclined to have a conversation comparing the two
No, and I don’t expect him to end up in federal custody until the next admin is in. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if every ICE agent gets pardoned just for good measure. The only hope is that Minnesota somehow gets him for something, but they have no way of obtaining evidence because the FBI won’t let them. My point was that “absolute immunity” is not a thing for ICE agents anyway. They have qualified immunity
In many states, the act of self-defense needs to be proportional. That car was moving at 5 mph MAX before he shot her, and was not going to (and did not) hit him. His life was not threatened. The second and third shots in the window, and not through the windshield, corroborate this
She did hit him, so you’re objectively wrong about that. LEO’s are often trained to go one above the threat level on the use of force continuum, which is directly in line with the threat level presented to the ICE agent. Not to mention the level of leeway that LEOs are given during split-second events under Graham v. Connor
im reading a 2018 dhs department policy on the use of force 044-05 that says only authorized secret service or appropriately trained dhs law enforcement officers (ice maybe) may discharge firearms to disable moving vehicles for physical protection. so technically its a maybe that it was allowed, depending on his training verification. sane people will say obviously he wasnt trained and it wasnt really for physical safety, but in regards to actual policy he might get a green light
She is clearly aware of who she is interacting with in the officer’s video. If she was so terrified of the people she was dealing with, she shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Who would have thought that blocking 2 lanes for ICE agents to conduct their business would be met with an attempt to detain?
Once again, she is clearly aware of who she is interacting with and to say that she didn’t is disingenuous. She allowed other cars to pass, but only moved slightly when an ICE truck attempted to pass her. Obviously the agents were unable to continue their investigation in an effective manner, which prompted the attempt to detain her (not arrest). They had already asked her to move her car and she chose to do it in the most minimal manner possible instead of just parking along the street
Obviously not, because had he not moved at all he would have been run over completely. He made two quick movements simultaneously dawg. If someone tries to shoot you, and you get out of the way, but they’re still in possession of a lethal weapon, they can still try and shoot you again. Good’s car was being used as a lethal weapon in this scenario and she was still in operation of the lethal weapon she just tried to hit an officer with
Calling him a Nazi is not undermining the Holocaust. History is there for a reason. If we as a society start to see cracks in something that is eerily similar to a past atrocity we should ring alarm bells. The facts remain the same, this administration is telling people that if you suspect a person is illegal, call ICE. Speaking Spanish, darker skin, having an accent, to this administration is deemed enough for probable cause. The detention centers are simply not fit for any human…
People die in prison from horrible conditions everyday. When have we ever compared modern prisons to Nazi extermination camps? Two things can be true at once. 1. Trump is a bad president and his policies need not to be continued after his inevitable death/end of term. 2. He is nowhere near close to being Hitler or the head of a Nazi regime
