Except ICE doesn't need to wait for one of their own to die to react. There was reasonable belief that he was a threat. Who do you think he showed up to use that weapon against if he had to. I'll give you one chance to say the correct answer.

So they pulled the gun from his back side. Ice agent just “sees” it and shoots.

Not sure how any rational person can defend the ICE agent here.

Go back and watch the video. None of the officers have their weapon out. Grey jacket retrieves the gun, you hear a distinct gun shot followed by a little hop skip and then they pull out their weapons.. They are reacting to a gun shot in very close proximity unaware that grey jacket has retrieved a firearm..

That is certainly not clear.

It appears he was disarmed before he was shot. You can't reasonable be a threat to justify lethal force after being disarmed.

And even if he was armed, you'd have to show very strong evidence he presented that level of threat. It's just that being disarmed eliminates it completely.

That matters 0% in the analysis of justifying lethal force.

There is nothing in the video that suggests they knew he was completely disarmed prior to shooting

Yeah when I posted stills from the video that was supposedly bad for the guy who was killed, they came off as odd (especially when timed with the shot sounds).

Your theory connects all the dots

Sounds like we don’t have a right to carry firearms any more.

Bro you are retarded. You can't even answer a simple question because you know logically it would show your ineptitude. If you are a court lawyer you probably lose a lot. Or maybe you are just a retarded paralegal.

Your willingness to surrender at every moment and avoid confrontation suggests otherwise. You would be a great LARPer though

How could they perceive a legitimate/reasonable fear of imminent threat if he was disarmed?

The LEO making bad assumptions doesn't work. Again, he didn't have to be disarmed to remain a non-threat. IF he was, though, it is impossible for him to present a legitimate, imminent threat of death/SBI. How could the police articulate that without the gun being used?

DOJ policy page with some case law

quote:

Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.

Apparently you are a threat just for carrying.

The question is irrelevant.

He could have posted he was going to kill cops and that still doesn't justify the use of deadly force in isolation.

I'm just here to remind you that you've avoided my question because you aren't smart enough to answer it.

Says the guy arguing we should do this with cops or else they are justified in killing us
