Video clearly shows vehicle driven by woman striking ICE agent on a Minneapolis street a split-second before shots are fired.

The bullet hole shows the agent shot from in front of the vehicle.

So many of the outraged protesters are pretending it was the agent at her door who fired the shots. It was not. It was the agent in her path; the agent she struck with her vehicle.

How should I respond if stopped by ICE?

Personal safety should be the primary concern during any ICE encounter, said García Hernández, as agents are armed and operating more aggressively. Although ICE agents have the authority to use reasonable force, the definition of ‘reasonable’ can be open to interpretation, making encounters unpredictable and potentially dangerous, he added.

Given the apparent documented increase in aggressive tactics, Mendoza said individuals should comply with orders to exit vehicles and avoid resistance.

“We don’t want to see another death of an individual just because they’re refusing to get off the car or they’re trying to get away from a really scary situation,” said Mendoza.

Do not resist or lie to agents, Vcelka added.

“Don’t run, argue, resist, fight anybody” to avoid worsening volatile situations, said Vcelka. “Just trying to keep your end of things calm will help in the long run.”
 
She was swerving away when he shot. Look at the tires.
She still hit him with the car....is a cop with a 4500 pound car hitting him suppose to take time to look at how the wheels are pointing before he defends himself? It takes time to turn your car, there was a human in her way and she gassed it! With disregard for life in front of her

Putting car in PARK would have avoided this

First shot rings out as the car strikes him. You can see the hole from that shot in the windshield of the vehicle. He literally fired as he was getting struck by her vehicle. Definitely keep sound on while watching it, listen and see when the first shot was fired watch it happen as his feet were lifted off the ground as the car struck him.

I still think less than lethal weapons and better training would be a good thing, but given the reality of what we have today I do believe that the shooting will be found to be justified.

It would be best if he had a body cam, if we see that we will better know, but from what I see in this video, the first shot was as he was struck. Jarod keeps saying it was "just 2 MPH" but you can see the front of the car lift from the acceleration. I believe that the agent fired because he believed his life was in danger.
 
She struck the cop that shot her.

He stayed on his feet - it was pretty glancing. To me, in that video - she's certainly not trying to hit him. I think she just panicked.

I can't put myself in that officer's position. Some have said that he might have been concerned that she would drag the other officer, and it's all pretty split second. It's just an unfortunate situation all the way around.

Trump's characterization, as always, was ludicrous & hopelessly dishonest.

She did not hit anyone. That is a flat out lie.

Yes he stayed on his feet but she could have easily ran over him. Like most people who die by police shooting she did not follow legal commands and resisted. She was certainly more dangerous than Babbitt was.
