    Because he’s a power-tripping Fascist. That’s it. He thinks he can kill people and get away with it, and so far, he’s right.

    Rage, a lack of morals, a lack of training, and a lack of consequences.

    Tell any asshole “Here’s a gun, you can do whatever you want, they all hate you. Again, you can do anything.” Surround that asshole with other assholes that are told the exact same thing. See what happens.

      The fact we don’t know who did that murder is wild. We deputized a bunch of murderers and we’re telling them they have absolute immunity.

    Because she wasn’t angry or scared. She was chill and was getting out of their way. He got angry the she wasn’t given him the satisfaction of acting angry or scared, like he wasn’t a threat to be feared. So the fixed that, he showed us who he really is.

    The argument used by law enforcement in these situations is that a car is a deadly weapon, and so it’s justified to kill the driver if you fear they may use the car to kill others. So, the cop just says they feared that and they’re allowed to use lethal force.

    How stupid must one be to stand in front of a stopped car? Don’t they teach them anything before they let them out on the street?

      Don’t they teach them anything before they let them out on the street.

      Possibly not. If feel like that’s been brought up in the news before.

      Or maybe it’s just a one time class or a video, and people do get complacent. Or maybe he’s just a fucking dumbass and a bully. There’s a clear pattern of highschool bully-style confrontation and escalation in many of the videos we’re seeing, and standing there is as good a way as any to do just that.

      These goons want people to be afraid of them, and act as if they believe that intimidation is a forcefield of some sort, like if they’re enough of a threatening asshole that it’ll mean they never get hurt.

      The whole “act like a scary hardass and people will comply” strategy relies on shock and the tendency for people to freeze up and get rattled when suddenly confronted with a threat from authority or power. They want people to go all deer in the headlights when they get in their face and comply without a fight, or if you fight you’re off guard and rattled and there’s less of risk to them so they just get to wail on you for a while. It’s gratifying for bullies when things are one-sided like that, it makes them feel powerful and righteous. In terms of getting what you want from people, it works well… up to the point that it doesn’t.

      After that point it’s one type of catastrophe or another.

    He is a little man, was on a power trip and as others already stated, he wanted to shoot.

    May he rot in prison.

    ICE admitted that an alarming number of their recruits barely know how to read and write, and you expect this guy to remember the Deadly Force Triangle?

    He shot her because he’s an untrained fascist thug who joined the modern Gestapo to put his boot on the necks of his fellow Americans. He shot her because he wanted to.

      This isn’t even true, he fought in the Iraq war and has been in ICE for nearly 20 years. He is trained and experienced and he knew exactly what he was doing.

      …who joined the modern Gestapo to put his boot on the necks of his fellow Americans. He shot her because he wanted to.

      Bingo.

        I think we’re learning why selection criteria for infantry and for police-wannabe organizations is different.

    ICE are a domestic terrorist organization. A modern gestapo, meaning they’re a secret police force with full reign and absolute immunity to do whatever they need to do for the bidding of their Fuhrer, Pedolf Diddler.

    They’re brownshirts. Nazis. Outlaws in every meaningful sense. Their agenda is death. Yours, unless you join them. And maybe even then.

    That’s just the facts. What you do about it is up to you.
