New video of Renee Good's fatal encounter with ICE agent in Minneapolis

Summary: the ICE agent Jonathan Ross was not in danger of getting run over when he killed Renee Good. He came in contact with the car, but could clearly see that the driver was steering away from him. Regardless, he shot 3 times, once after being passed by.
Additional notes:
Geoffrey Alpert, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of South Carolina, questioned why the ICE agent would place himself in front of a moving car.
Alpert said the officer’s positioning could be an example of officer-created jeopardy. “The crux of officer-created jeopardy is putting yourself in a position to use force in response to whatever the suspect’s doing, as opposed to just reacting to protect his own life or someone else’s,” said Alpert.
Not standing and walking in front of a car is basically cop 101. "Routine" vehicle stops are one of the most potentially dangerous things cops do, there's all of the unknowns of who is actually in the car and how they're going to react, what can happen if they try to flee, dangers from passing traffic, etc.
So they always approach your car very carefully and absolutely do not walk in front of it if it can be avoided.
Jonathan Ross sidestepped the slow moving car and shot her point blank.
Fearing for his life and getting “run over” after previously being dragged last year, yet he was still able to not only video the victim walking around her vehicle, but able to pull his gun and shoot her at point blank range while still recording her.
I assume this sick Nazi fuck just wanted to make a snuff video of an innocent mom, wife and US citizen.
To the victims, I hope you get the justice you deserve. To the Americans not revolting in the streets and tearing this tyranny down, you’ll get more of this soon enough if you sit idly by. Follow the lessons of France, Iran, Nepal and do the right thing here.
Your government does not care about your life.

It really does seem that way - the whole situation, especially being prepared recording and positioning himself at the front corner of the car so he could safely take a glancing bump from the car without actually risking his safety gives me flashbacks to bullies on the playground who would stand in front of you and move to block you just so that you'd run into them and they could call the teacher and say you pushed them. That but a grown ass adult and given a gun.
Also, from the article:
Geoffrey Alpert, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of South Carolina, questioned why the ICE agent would place himself in front of a moving car.
Alpert said the officer’s positioning could be an example of officer-created jeopardy. “The crux of officer-created jeopardy is putting yourself in a position to use force in response to whatever the suspect’s doing, as opposed to just reacting to protect his own life or someone else’s,” said Alpert.
So Ross, who has previously been dragged, decides to put himself in harms way and potentially cause a shooting.
Fatal encounter with is a pretty wordy way of saying murder by
Okay, dumb question: Where's the video frame that shows the contact with the vehicle? The photo with the caption "ICE Agent 1 and the vehicle appear to make contact" just shows a close up of a giant turd. Certainly no vehicle in view in that image.
if you zoom in enough on the asshole, youll realize its actually an ICE agent
