screen shot of the ICE thug proves it was not justified and was murder

105. She should have complied with orders

In the picture, the wheels appear to be turned. That's true. But the ICE officer in question would not be able to see that. And that's only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what the people in the picture did or didn't know about each other.

There seems to be a natural, "commonsense" view that everyone should have been able to reasonably know what everyone else was thinking and going to do. In that view, the ICE officer should have reasonably assumed that the non-compliant protester was "just" trying to flee and was not going to run him (or others downstream of him) over, whether recklessly or intentionally. Also in that view, the protester should have reasonably assumed she wouldn't be shot for not complying with orders and trying to escape, whether she accidentally, briefly drove "glancingly" in the direction of an armed officer or not. Unfortunately, those "commonsense" views are wrong.

Things happen fast in real time, and then they replay multiple times in slow motion in hindsight. For a confrontation like this, the set of possible outcomes (many tragic) grows dramatically when people don't do straightforward, automatic things like ordering someone out of their vehicle and complying with the order. That's what should have happened this time.
