I heard many stories saying this couple was from Minnesota, but the car had Missouri plates.  Paid protesters?

I read (but haven't verified) that they moved to Canada after Trump was elected, then had just recently moved to Minnesota.

The comments are right.  This is as believable as unicorns and Leprechauns.

You don’t know that. It’s your guess, but you don’t know.

 

Anyway; my point wasn’t that he’s liable. My point was that courts can and do analyze multiple shots over a short period as separate instances of force.

What people dont realize.  She was trying to run over a person not an ideology or a computer simulation. The officer had less than seconds to react. When the adrenaline is flowing and your life is possibly at stake you react as a human.

 

Also this poor guy has been away from home on and off  for many weeks. He is in the streets.  He has been taking verbal abuse, people impending his mission and elected officials referring to them in derogatory terms.

 

On to of that he is married to a Filipina.  Its a dangerous recipe.

Add to that the totality of the situation where these folks were, or at least appears to be, trying to box in these agents.

I don’t see how any of that is relevant to the question of if what he did creates a civil liability for the government. LEOs can make legally incorrect split second decisions that make the government civilly liable even when they’re afraid for their life.

 

It’s virtually certain there’s not going to be any criminal or administrative action taken, so what matters is if there’s enough for it to go to a civil trial.

 

The other question is if it eventually leads to reforms within ICE. The best take I read on it today was in the The Washington Post from a former cop who works at a think tank now:

 

Sometimes these incidents can end up being ‘lawful but awful’ if the legal standard is met but the tactics look avoidable in hindsight

If anyone is interested in the legal side of things. And a good summary, answers all the questions.

 

I was just thinking of the civil case, I am not familiar with the State law but assuming it is held that it was not intentional her Auto insurance should cover the injuries to the agent and the damage to the vehicle she hit.

 

Could get complicated if it was held to be intentional, my assumption is that the Insurer involved would not want to go there, better to pay up and move on.

If he feared for his life in that split second, this is self defense.  Game over..... It's actually cut and dry.  Add, to the facts. that he actually hit him.

Logical, unbiased analysis in my opinion.  By law, this is self defense, imho.   Her face expression is irrelevant.  Her words are irrelevant.  Her ACTIONS and the officer's perception of those actions in those 2 seconds are relevant.
