Looks like Tampon Tim saved the day.

Whoopsie. Look what Tampon Tim signed into law back in 2020. As the circus over the George Floyd protests raged on, Minnesota’s Legislature updated its “use-of-force” statute, and Gov. Walz signed it into law that July.
Well, well, well…Look what Tim Walz signed into law in 2020:
MN law §609.066: Officers can use deadly force if a driver accelerates toward them, creating immediate life-threatening danger. No need to wait for impact—they can act based on apparent intent & proximity.
JUSTIFIED.
~Snip~
Under Minnesota Statute 609.066, peace officers may use deadly force only when a reasonable officer believes it’s necessary to protect against death or great bodily harm. And it’s all based on the totality of circumstances known at the moment, not some hindsight debate after the fact.

In a split second, when some 5,000-pound vehicle is gunning toward you, cops don’t have the delightful luxury of some slow-motion analysis or perfect insight into the driver’s intent. Most people would reasonably assume that an antagonistic activist gunning an engine in their direction is trying to cause serious harm, right?
The video clearly shows what actually happened. A radical activist and her radical wife were provoking ICE, trying to antagonize them, and likely hoping to catch it all on camera so it could go viral. Instead, Renee Good gunned her car toward an ICE agent and was shot and killed in the process. That’s what the video shows.

She wasn’t some homespun mom who wrote poetry in her spare time. Actually, most of her kids were taken away from her due to her abusive lesbian wife.
Commentary:
Minneapolis DA is going to have a tough time winning a case against the ICE agent without this law.
The law actually makes it harder for the DA, not sure what you are thinking.
Understanding the law, that the police and Federal officers can act if vehicles are coming towards them, think about the scenario. Two people drive from Colorado to Minnesota in the dead of winter to harass Federal agents and impair their ability to do their duty by the law. Then, one of them blocks them with her vehicle, the other gets out and videos while screaming at the first one to “DRIVE, DRIVE” as the officers surround the vehicle after telling her to stop.
Is this just and unfortunate event or is it coordinated by people around the driver, knowing the outcome, to distract from the Federal Fraud investigation in Minnesota and soon the rest of the nation? FDR would have an opinion about that.
The ICE agent was on duty, enforcing federal law, when he shot the woman...IMHO, only US Attorney could file charges against him...
What if some off-duty federal agent kills some guy during a fight at a nightclub? Then the local DA has the right to file charges against him...In that hypothetical, the federal agent was not trying to enforce federal law...
Note:
Minnesota Statute 609.066, Paragraph “(3)"
"that the decision by a peace officer to use deadly force shall be evaluated from the perspective of a reasonable officer in the same situation, based on the totality of the circumstances known to or perceived by the officer at the time, rather than with the benefit of hindsight, and that the totality of the circumstances shall account for occasions when officers may be forced to make quick judgments about using deadly force;”
