As I’ve posted numerous times Homeland Security said agents were trained to never approach a car from the front and that shooting the driver does NOT stop the car from moving forward. Basically commonsense something this particular agent lacked since this was the SECOND time he was clipped by a car that he was standing in front of. Unfortunately there is no cure for stupidity.

Let's wait and see what happens...I think that FBI will investigate this shooting and send the result to the US Attorney...FBI could recommend prosecution...But, the US Attorney would make the final determination....

DHS also would investigate this incident...To determine if this agent followed DHS policy or not...DHS could fire this agent if the agency concludes that he did not follow the policy...

At this time, my opinion is that shooting was justified...I will wait for further investigations however...Maybe the investigations would reveal something different?

Let the investigators do their jobs...

Noem just said on live TV that the agent was following his training. Take it up with her.

And for the second time, he was not standing in front of the car. He standing was off to one side as they were attempting to arrest her, but she turned the car toward him and ran into him in less than a second.
