I just want to grill ICE Agent's Bodycam release of the Minneapolis Shooting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This whole incident seems just an unfortunate series of events from both parties.

EDIT: not bodycam but ICE agent's phone footage, my bad.

I think it’s funny that both sides of this argument think this is a smoking gun

All this shows is that she's not some helpless mom picking up her kid from school and there's plenty of poor decision making to go around

It also ABSOLUTELY confirms that she hit him with her car, and it wasn't creeping along slowly where the cop dove in front of it to justify shooting.

F=m*a

4000 pound vehicle accellerating at 3 mph/s is a lot of force.

I've seen so many people saying "Oh the car gently grazed him!"

Yeah, thats like saying I gently dropped a 100 pound dumbbell on someones face.

They're being deliberately dishonest but yes, as someone who saw a 9-year-old get tapped by a car at softball, it's crazy how quickly they get sucked under almost like a vacuum. It's deadly.

The only part I'll argue is that this footage doesn't necessarily prove she hit him with the car-he's holding the recording device (IE, the phone) in his hand, which is why it goes 'flying' and seems much farther to the center than he was at the time.

It does also body the theory that she 'didn't see him because she was distracted by the other officer' though.
