@Banner_Lord7@esjesjesj I'm not sure it's that clear. He makes a sudden move that could signify contact with the car. In any case I don't think he was arguably in danger of death or great bodily injury when the first shot was fired. The subsequent two shots are clearly outside of policy imo.
@esjesjesj He steps in front of the car as she is backing up. By the time she puts it back into drive he is in front of the driver's side headlight. By the time he fires the first shot she has turned the wheel sharply to the right to avoid him.
@Txp_RBI_Xctuxl I mean, of course it's an option, it's just not a legal option. It is clear that her behavior is illegal. What isn't clear is whether the officer's actions in response were reasonable.
@RyanO_ChosenCoy It is, in fact, against DHS policy for an officer to place themselves in a position in which they have no alternative to deadly force.
@Elonisgay0021@DeztroReal@mattvanswol@GovTimWalz I disagree. He was clear of the path of danger when he fired the first shot. He could have left his weapon holstered and easily escaped injury.
@DeztroReal@Elonisgay0021@mattvanswol@GovTimWalz Yeah the disagreement is over whether he was still in a dangerous position when the first shot was fired. I don't think he was. He walked in front of the vehicle while it was backing up, came around to the front driver's headlight but hopped out of the way.
