Portrayed? There hundred and hundreds if not thousands of videos of their interactions with the public to go off of. The media doesn’t even bother reporting most of the problems people are having with these ICE agents. There’s a whole thread here dedicated to the good community work ICE and DHS have been doing for the past year.
I've had some very good polite officers, but unfortunately, I've encountered monsters as well.
That goes both ways. ICE have taken an aggressive approach under this administration and people are naturally responding with aggression as well. A responsible agency would try to deescalate for the safety of both the public and their officers.
Which is fine.
He steps in front of the car as he is filming and moving to his right. He does NOT draw his gun until she starts accelerating forward.
Then you dont know any officers. Because officers stopping a driver to remove them.who has been involved in obstructing them and trying to prevent them from doing their jobs is a legitimate action. Good lord, there is NO expectation that cops are only allowed to stop and arrest people who are threatening them. Cops can stop and arrest ANYONE who is involved in criminal behavior whether they aee being threatened or not.
The escalation was on the part of the agitators on scene including the woman who had been attempting to prevent them from doing legitimate law enforcement.
And it IS a legitimate legal argument fully supported and established by the Supreme Court.
All he had to do was move to his right and all would be fine. If his first thought in a split second is to draw his gun and kill somebody instead of just moving out of the way of a moving vehicle then maybe he shouldn’t have a gun and badge.
It all depends on who you ask but I don’t see how you would make your comment to me when a lot of folks here whine like crazy about Trump. I’m an independent and the specific proclamation that the poster that I answered brought up is not important to me.
Yes and much more too. Using just a couple of videos to make up your mind and blame others is irresponsible.
I don’t have the facts just speculation.
Lol No. I’m not agreeing with your speculative conclusion.
I f only she would have made the correct choices instead of accelerating her car when the officers are there and put them at risk she would still be alive.
Thanks. I can’t see a video in the article but that might just be that I’m in a low signal area. I’ll pull it up when I get home.
Well, if you were being constantly harassed by activists then maybe you would get a bit more careful. As I stated earlier no one has the constitutional right to impede police operations or assault federal agents.
Yes, that's what I said. He steps in front of the car, blocking its path away from the scene. That's placing himself in unnecessary danger.
It's debatable as to whether what she was doing was criminal or that they had any legal justification to detain her. There's at least one law enforcement vehicle that she waves by in the video, so she wasn't completely blocking traffic. Regardless though, because she was not doing anything threatening, there was no need to ensure her detention at the scene - especially to the extent of putting officers and bystanders at further risk.
Yes, the agitators escalated the situation. And then, rather than attempt to de-escalate, as is their responsibility as law enforcement officers, the ICE agents escalated further.
Completely appropriate - law enforcement has a duty to de-escalate, and they're the ones with the guns.
As a blanket rule, sure, but if you have the information needed to locate the suspect and trying to detain them puts more people at risk, then letting them go is the responsible thing to do.
Sure - assuming that they are an offender.
And shooting at a vehicle in order to stop it is not a legitimate response from LE.
