ICE told to get the eff out

That is the point. It didn't go bang, bang, bang. Law enforcement don't go bang, bang, bang. That would be a fire fight in a war. There was a delay between shots one and two whilst the agent assessed the situation. Then he made a deliberate decision to kill Renee with a controlled pair (the second and third shots). When you combine the actual timings with all the research and the training procedure, it is clear that he acted as I have described throughout this thread.
You have no knowledge of this other than an Ai bot. I can assure you that the timing of the shots along with the distance of the car traveling is critical in any shooting case, silly meaningless studies using milliseconds and non stressful environments mean nothing and offer no evidence based on the facts of this case
 
Also as a side note, the first shot was fired and the delay between the second set of shots could well be attributed to the agent having to get out of the way of the moving car heading towards him, he wouldn't have carried on firing whilst stepping out of the way as his aim wouldl have been compromised and could well result in him shooting his team mate or anyone else in the area.

correct - reaction time is not thinking time. Thinking time is 0.5 - 2 seconds.

First to Second Shot: Approximately 399 milliseconds (roughly four-tenths of a second).
Second to Third Shot: Approximately 299 milliseconds (roughly three-tenths of a second).
The entire sequence from the first to the final shot lasted just under 700 milliseconds.

Its a dead argument.

and why it never saw the light of day in a court room. There was never a case for the ice agent to answer to.

The research shows that, once a threat has ended, the average untrained civilian can stop shooting within 350 milliseconds and a trained officer within 290 milliseconds. Maybe your brain is unusually slow.

You are back to misquoting research again and of course its pointless because this is a path trod by many other cases and none gave the outcome you need to make this angle work.

Plumhoff v. Rickard, 572 U.S. 765 - 2014 - Reasonableness of the force judged at the time it is used. Multiple shots were justified to bring the vehicle to a halt.
Tennes-see v. Garner, 471 U. S. 1 (1985) "where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force."
Kisela v. Hughes, 584 U.S. (2018) Is also worth a read, Hughes was shot 4 times while posing no apparent threat - result - Qualified Immunity.

then on top of that you have the Graham factors.

You have to address these

It's fkng absurd to claim he was within his rights to fire two more shots once he'd moved away from the car.

Once more, to remind y'all - this was an unarmed civilian, not a bomb laden terrorist.

Ignore this silly research, it was a one off which was ridiculed anyway. No more accurate than a fire drill.
 
In a fire drill where there is no real fire and an alarm sounding, people walk calmly out of a building laughing and joking to go stand in a car park to do a roll call.
In the event of a real fire with flames and smoke filling the building those same people would be running and screaming and fearing for their lives.

As far as I can tell, it was ridiculed by the people who actually paid for it. Presumably, because they didn't like the results. There has now been two sets of research. The original research was done ten years previously. It seems that the new research was commissioned by a police support group who wanted to overturn those previous findings. But they got exactly the same results! It shows that the human brain is amazing. I have been practicing in the kitchen, and you can easily stop yourself in about quarter of a second. Although, I know you have mentioned impaired faculties, such as memory loss, so it might take you a bit longer :eek:

Probably around 10 mins for me, I would have emptied the magazine and thrown the gun through the window,.
 
Cant believe this is still being discussed lol.....she didn't deserve to die, surely?

And don't call me Shirley :oops: :LOL:
Nobody is saying that she deserved to die but it is understandable how she forced the ice agents hand.
