POV footage from the ICE agent who was RAMMED by anti-ICE activist Renee Good in Minneapolis has been released

You can see her smiling as she accelerated right into him. She had plenty of time to brake. She had plenty of time to put it in back into park. She chooses to accelerate into him anyway, with a smile on her face.

She was smiling in the beginning - but we don't know what her facial expression she had when she started driving away.

And we can see from other angles that the guy didn't even lose his footing, and was walking toward her car after the shooting.
 
Did you listen to the dialogue? The woman outside the vehicle--Good's lezzy partner?--telling the officer "Come at us!" as a dare. She was agitating the officers for a fight. These weren't "observers." They were actively engaged in confrontation with, and obstruction of, law enforcement in the performance of their duties.

Doesn't change that she clearly knew he was there and clearly hit him in her attempt to escape. This is felony flight on her part.

So, if someone is committing a felony - it's okay for an officer to shoot them?

If they are using their car to hit them, that is a deadly weapon. It is likely that an officer, especially one that had already been dragged by a vehicle, may think that vehicles being used to hit him might threaten his life.

When they are clearly trying to escape arrest and using a vehicle as a weapon to do so, yes. The officer in front of the vehicle was clearly there to block her escape but she didn't care and smacked him aside. How was he to know, in that split second, that she wouldn't run him over or do other violent harm to him or others? He had every right to use deadly force to stop that from happening.

I have given him benefit of the doubt on this. But I also think his actions were unnecessary given the threat - the car was moving slowly, and turning away from him. If it was really about protecting his own life, you would think the instinct would be to jump back further from the vehicle, instead of taking his gun out, aiming & shooting - which ended up created a more dangerous situation.

But I get that it was split second. I just think that people are going overboard trying to make it seem like she was trying to run the guy down. Which she obviously was not.
