The police say that’s not the way to do things.

NPR has reviewed multiple videos of the shooting taken from different vantage points and posted to social media. The footage shows multiple officers near an SUV stopped in the middle of the road. One officer demands the driver exit the vehicle and grabs the car [door] handle. The SUV reverses, then begins to drive forward, which is when a different officer near the front of the car pulls his weapon and fires into the vehicle. Three gunshots are heard, as the firing officer backs away from the SUV. Moments [seconds] later, the vehicle crashes.

…

In a statement, DHS spokesperson McLaughlin asserted that the motorist “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.” She added that the ICE officer who pulled the trigger was “fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public.”

That’s a lie, right?

Upon reviewing a video of the incident, President Trump said he also believes the shooting was an act of self-defense.

“The woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

She ran over an ICE officer? Really?

At a press conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said local police arrived at the scene to find a woman with a gunshot wound to the head. They performed life-saving measures at the scene, including CPR. The woman was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, he added.

Preliminary information, according to O’Hara, indicated that the woman was in her vehicle and blocking the road on Portland Avenue between 33rd and 34th St.

“At some point, a federal law enforcement approached her on foot, and the vehicle began to drive off. At least two shots were fired,” he said, adding that the car then crashed on the side of the roadway.

No mention of her running over the ICE officer? Is that because it didn’t happen? Trump just made it up?

O’Hara said he was “very concerned” with the tactics used by federal immigration agents. He noted that the use of deadly force is justified at times, but that most law enforcement agencies in the U.S. are trained to minimize the risks and the need for deadly force.

And it’s not as if it’s something cops want to do – they know full well it’s a world of questions and investigations and interviews if they do use deadly force.
