ICE told to get the eff out

You've earlier posted that later shots were to "protect the public".
Ergo, the first shot wasn't enough.

Therefore, your post - quoted above - makes no sense as, even killing someone isn't in your mind enough to see off the risk of being hit by the vehicle.
Honestly, have you read anything quite so daft? They also had the right to shoot her to death just in case she was thinking about obstructing the officers according to Chicken biker.
:rolleyes:
 
The passport checker jumped onto her car?
you actually need to watch the video to form an opinion.
Police officer was at the side of the car with the door open when the driver decided to flee. Instead of jumping out of the way, he jumped on to the foot plate of the car, placing himself in danger. He then shot the man twice - killing him.

The man was stopped because his hire car was flagged as having an unpaid toll.

There are clearly similarities. what is your opinion:

A) justified to use deadly force because he was in danger
B) he should have jumped out of the way.

Why are you watching irrelevant vids and stating irrelevant case law?

I'm suggesting consistently that the decision to fire 1 shot or 4 was the same. He decided to use deadly force. He cannot know at the time of firing, if his first bullet will kill or the last, or a combination. The case against Ross would hinge on whether he was justified to use deadly force. The rounds were fired so close together that you cannot argue any separate assessment was made of the risk. The car was moving he kept firing, shot 1-4 complete in under 1 second.

I'm not defending the US laws/Supreme Court's willingness to allow deadly force against people who are obstructing justice, fleeing a traffic stop or might not have paid a toll fee.

All the research shows the opposite. It shows that even untrained civilians would have had enough time to reassess and stop firing.
 
don't be shy - what do you think about the circumstances?

He was suspected of failing to pay a toll fee.

I've been trying to work out the point you are raising. Is this about law enforcement putting themselves in danger. And whether it is still legal to use deadly force.

It also says that these findings are irrelevant away from a non threatening training ground. No stresses or heightened alert adrenaline etc are in play.

I did find that funny. Basically the people who commissioned the research didn't like the findings. So, they decided to try to trash it.

All the research.. come on, surely that sounds daft when you read it back.

I know you like a bit of AI. why not ask "how long does an officer take to decide to shoot"

HWM has already posted information that shows you are wrong.

In critical, high-stress situations, police officers often make the decision to use deadly force in
less than one second to two seconds. Research suggests that the average decision time to shoot in complex scenarios is roughly 0.5 to 0.9 seconds, while the total time from perceiving a threat to reacting and shooting can be under 1.5 seconds.
  • Physical Limitations: Even after the brain decides to stop shooting, it takes an average of 0.29 to 0.36 seconds for the body to physically stop pulling the trigger, often resulting in additional rounds being fired.

This is not an objective assessment.
