That works if the official story is the suspect was trying to flee. In all of these cases (as far as I’m aware), the suspect is “using their vehicle as a weapon” or in pretti’s case, approached with a loaded weapon (this one in Maine seems more muddled tho with them initially saying he was fleeing and then changing their story like 15 times to make it seem like he was trying to hurt or kill ice agents)
Anyone who even takes a cursory glance at the existing video evidence of literally any of the cases including those who were shot and survived can see that this rhetoric is blatantly untrue and it is absolutely remarkable that these most recent cases involve zero officers with body cams for some mysterious reason. Regardless, it’s important to note that it is the official position of the Gestapo ice that these victims aren’t just fleeing, they are putting these disgusting piss baby agents’ lives at risk.
The original story was he was using his vehicle as a weapon on the officer. Then the officer said he was fleeing and thought he was a danger to the public.
Initially:
“Prior to the brief ICE statement on the incident, Maine U.S. Sen. Angus King said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told him the officer opened fire after the man tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents”
Then:
“The ‘vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon,’ the department said.”
Now:
"When asked about the contrasting statements, King told CNN that that’s what the investigation is all about. [He responded] ‘Did this young man actually try to run over an ICE agent or was he in danger of running over other people in the street?.. Was there a reasonable expectation of bodily harm or deadly force to justify this shooting?’”
