Except officers are specifically trained not to go in front of the vehicle in situations like these. You cannot execute someone for fleeing.
The officer had room to step out the way of the vehicle. If the officer has the ability to get out of the way of the car, and there is no justified reason they would have to think she posed a continued threat, then why shoot? If in that moment he was fearing for his life, wouldn't it make more sense to immediately get out of the way of the car that is turning away from him? why continue standing in front of the car while drawing his weapon? Usually the immediate threat is for things like if someone is posing a threat such as they have a knife and they keep walking towards you and ignoring your commands. In this case, whether he discharges his weapon or not makes no difference to the immediate threat. If he steps out of the way, the immediate threat is gone, if he stays his ground and discharges his weapon, it makes no difference to his immediate safety. In both cases, it does nothing to stop whatever actual threat he is facing, and in both cases, once the car is past him, any immediate threat is gone.
And why on earth is this been classified as serious enough to class Good a domestic terrorist? And why is the President saying that Good violenty, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE Officer? And that's it's hard to believe that the ICE officer is alive? Do you think it's weird that the administration is pushing such an unhinged narrative?
I don't want to state a firm conclusion...since none of us are omniscient, we can't say we know for sure what was going on in either of their minds.
But in the recent clip with audio, it's clear that he was pissed. You can hear him say "fuckin *****" right after he shot her in the face. Just my opinion, but I think he knew full well she wasn't trying to intentionally run him over, she was trying to flee.
So based on all the evidence I've seen so far, I'm leaning toward this take:
