"As I said, you're starting at a point where the ICE agent had already set up his pretext to execute her."
You keep coming back to this point in time, to the exclusion of everything that led up to it. Why?
- kreetx 9mo agoBecause the alledged pretext assumes being able to predict the future.
- mindslight 9mo agoAre you claiming it is impossible for an ICE agent to think "I'm just going to shoot the next person who tries to drive away" or what?
- kreetx 9mo agoPlanning ahead to put your own health at risk?
- mindslight 9mo agoThat's a weird way to frame the perspective of someone whose primary job responsibility is physical aggression. It's also not too hard to jump out of the way of a vehicle that you're focusing on if it starts moving. The argument you're effectively making is that the agent's positioning was entirely non-deliberate, even though he had been dragged by a car previously.
- kreetx 9mo agoSo the argument you are effectively making is that the police officer was planning to jump out of the way and this posed reasonably little health risk?
