re: The right dying on this ICE agent hill is reminiscent of the Chauvin incident

He was never in danger.

Nether were the people at the Christmas event in Wisconsin, until that SUV ran them over.

I guess that you feel that cars hitting people isn’t a dangerous act.

I'll was traveling over the road yesterday when the even occurred and just happened to be listing to FOX News on Sirus-XM...

The greatest resource I've ever heard was Paul Mauro, who (within seconds), asked why was Minneapolis local police not on site? He would expand to state local LEO would have protected ICE but also the protestors -- end result - this event never occurs.

Later when Mayor Frey held his pressor, Mauro learned Minn-Police do nothing for these protests ... and he let the public know it then and last night.

Guy is a boss.

You had me until…don’t be a mindless boot licker.

I know, right? Especially weird usage since it doesn't match the argument he offered. "Bootlicking" implies sacrificing your beliefs and kissing up to power, but the gist of the post was merely "hey, it's not worth it. move along".

Sometimes there are dumbass LEO that use excessive force. Don't waste too much political capital defending this guy. Don't be a mindless bootlicker

Chauvin was following his training. The Democrat judged excluded introduction of that evidence.

As for the shooting of Good, it would be helpful to know what the agent's training was. In general, the agents involved didn't seem professional. They didn't render any assistance to Good. (Maybe she was obviously dead.) They left their vehicles parked in the street such that the ambulance had a hard time getting to the scene.

Also, what was the reason to detain Good? The ICE agents on the scene, including the one who shot her, hadn't deemed her worthy of detention. The video shows Good trying to leave the scene, then she gets cut off by another vehicle, then she tries to wave through the unmarked truck containing the arriving agents who sought to detain her.

Ultimately, Good was responsible for her own death. She FAFO. It would be helpful to have an adult briefing from DHS, though, other than "domestic terrorist!."

They could have expedited that arrest.

Idiot

A woman who was willing to drive her car directly at a law enforcement agent in an attempt to escape... had to be stopped asap. Were they supposed to allow her to escape and then lead the agents on a high speed chase, endangering everyone on the road?

quote:

That chick was a dumbass too, but I don't think she was trying to run anyone over. I think she was just trying to leave.

So?

Drunk drivers are just trying to get home. Doesn’t change the fact that if you hit and kill someone your own poor decisions were the cause.

Are they hastily trained and surged out into the field?

Here are the DHS guidelines:

Yes — under current Department of Homeland Security (DHS) use-of-force and tactical policies, officers and agents are generally supposed to avoid stepping in front of a vehicle or placing themselves in its path to try to stop it. DHS policies emphasize officer safety, public safety, and minimizing unnecessary risk, and placing oneself in front of a moving vehicle is explicitly discouraged. ?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection +1
Here’s how the policy language and training guidance address this:
?? 1. DHS use-of-force doctrine
DHS’s use-of-force standards require that:
Force, including deadly force, must be objectively reasonable under the circumstances.
Deadly force cannot be used solely to stop a fleeing suspect or to prevent escape unless there is a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. ?
Department of Homeland Security
?? 2. Tactical positioning around vehicles
Specific DHS guidance (e.g., Customs and Border Protection and related directives) states that officers/agents should:
Avoid standing directly in front of or behind a subject vehicle, and
Not place their body in the path of a moving vehicle to block it. ?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection +1
The reasoning is both safety and tactical — physically blocking a vehicle exposes the officer to serious risk and limits available safe options if the vehicle moves unexpectedly.
?? 3. Deadly force and moving vehicles
DHS policy also incorporates strict guidance on shooting at vehicles:
Agents are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle unless the use of deadly force is otherwise justified under the policy (e.g., imminent threat to life).
Before using deadly force against a moving vehicle’s operator, the danger to others and the viability of less risky options must be considered. ?
Department of Homeland Security
?? Bottom line
Yes — it is contrary to DHS tactical and use-of-force policy for officers to place themselves in front of a vehicle in an attempt to stop it. The guidance encourages tactics that minimize risk and avoid putting officers directly in the path of a vehicle — and deadly force cannot be justified simply because a subject is trying to flee. ?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection +1

the right went to bat for him when they should have spent that energy elsewhere at the time.

In hindsight, I didn’t go to bat for him enough. I waited for the facts to come out. Floyd killed himself and was dying before Chauvin even arrived. Check out his actual toxicology report. Knee on side of neck was an approved technique (police manual proof not allowed in court). Your credibility is gone if you still ignore facts on this case in 2026.
