Hi, I’m Talia. I’m a photographer/videographer/social media expert from Minneapolis. No it’s not always cold here. Yes, the city is a great place to live. Let’s connect 📸
1- The Police Use-of-Force Rule on Moving Vehicles
Core Police Rule taught nationwide: Officers should not intentionally place themselves in front of or in the path of a moving vehicle and then use deadly force to stop it.
2- DOJ / FBI / National Policing Standards
The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI training doctrine states: A moving vehicle alone is not considered a deadly threat. Officers must attempt to move out of the vehicle’s path rather than fire.
Deadly force is not justified if: The officer voluntarily placed themselves in front of the vehicle. The vehicle is attempting to flee. There are other avenues of escape
3- International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP)
The IACP model policy says:
Officers shall not fire at or from a moving vehicle unless:
There is an imminent threat other than the vehicle itself, and No reasonable alternatives exist
Standing in front of a vehicle creates the danger and invalidates the justification.
4- Minnesota training explicitly teaches:
Officers must avoid positioning themselves in front of vehicles during enforcement actions
Use of deadly force is not justified when the danger results from the officer’s own tactical decisions
This is drilled into recruits.
5- Supreme Court Context
While not a numbered rule, courts repeatedly rule that:
An officer cannot manufacture a deadly-force scenario and then claim self-defense.
This is known legally as “officer-created jeopardy.”
5- How It’s Taught to Police
Police are taught:
Step aside
Let the vehicle go
Identify later
Do not block with your body
Do not draw a gun in front of a car
Why?
Because:
Cars are common
People panic
Officers escalate situations unnecessarily
Innocent people get killed.
Another horrifying image out of Minneapolis. Look at the terror on this man’s face as a federal agent points a gun at his face & threatens his life. Enough is enough. Our government is committing war crimes abroad & murdering & terrorizing citizens at home. We need a revolution.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your neighbors. You film them; your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
THE WHEELS ARE FULLY TURNED AWAY FROM THE OFFICER.
Watch in SLOW MO.
No intention IMO to hit anyone.
Sole intention based on wheel/steering wheel to LEAVE the scene
NOT A THREAT.
Look at the wheel.
@angelojasa Taking lots of notes and being careful not to direct anyone to do anything right now other than enjoy it from a personal level. It’s too soon to know what’s even happening with it.
@elonmusk@TitterDaily 1. You fired good employees and they did their work better elsewhere. Cry about it.
2. You bought Twitter, you didn’t develop it.
3. You should put more attention into how poorly built Teslas are before you come at BMW for making better EV’s than you, too. ❤️
