CNN’s Campbell: Looks Like ICE Agent ‘Likely Struck by That Car’, But Question Is if He Could Have Jumped Away
Breitbart ^ | January 9, 2026 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/10/2026 2:32:18 PM PST by Morgana

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “The Brief,” CNN Senior Correspondent Josh Campbell discussed the video of the shooting in Minneapolis and said that while officers are trained not to step in front of vehicles, “it appears, from other vantage points, that he was likely struck by that car, and so, under policy, an agent can articulate, I felt my life was in danger, I opened fire. But there are big questions based on the angle where he was, were there other options, could he have jumped out of the way? That’s a big question.”

Campbell said, “[H]e puts himself in front of that vehicle, and I’ll tell you, law enforcement officers are trained, essentially, not to put yourself in that situation. That’s training that happens from coast to coast in this country. But the moment that she then turns the wheel and begins to drive forward, it appears, from other vantage points, that he was likely struck by that car, and so, under policy, an agent can articulate, I felt my life was in danger, I opened fire. But there are big questions based on the angle where he was, were there other options, could he have jumped out of the way? That’s a big question.”

“She had been obstructing their operations all day and they finally had enough and were going to arrest her.”

I read somewhere that she and her partner had been doing this stuff for several days. They knew what her game was. She escalated, which is common with repeat offenders.

ICE was probably looking for a specific person or specific people. It would be interesting to know the rap sheets of those that were being sought. I’m guessing they harmed quite a few women since they got here illegally.

Step out of the way so she could run over another ICE Agent further up
the road? Don’t think so.

He could have called in sick.

That’s what swat team members do.

You have it completely backwards, as intended. Valuable lesbos— yeah that’s the ticket. And George Floyd had already overdosed on fentanyl before any police took him down. He would have been dead within 20 minutes at any rate. All the rest is show biz DA antics. They did not murder him, and this fawning fem lesbo followed the commands of her psychotic butch “lover”. A “tool” if that is what you mean as “valuable”.

My question to him couldn’t he have jumped out the way and avoided being hit full on by the galloping stupids?

Even if he had, he was well within the law to do so. He was not obligated to move.

Yup... It’s the officer’s fault for not knowing how to avoid being hit by a car that’s aimed at him... The desperation to change the narrative of truth, instead of BS, that’s gotten out of the control of the loony left is hilarious.

The more you know, the more you understand that the left wing media and the left wing movement has lied to you.

“But, he didn’t act until he was struck by the vehicle.”

He pulled his pistol before he was struck.

“Wasn’t the officer in the process of walking AROUND the car, from the passenger side to the driver side? What was he supposed to do to avoid being in front of the car for a few seconds “

He didn’t place himself in front of the car. The drive turned the car toward him.

That pic was before she turned the wheels to make a hard right. She did not move until wheels were full right. Verdict: No contact.

First shot through the windshield.

Question (actually) is: "Could the driver not have avoided the serious, negative outcomes by following the officer's instruction to turn off the car and get out?"

... instead of following the wife's "Drive, baby, Drive!" instruction.

I have read a thousand times, “he could have jump”,
Yet no one has ever asked what if the driver just turned the steering wheel and continued towards him.

Sure. And another “question is” if she was so frightened why not just follow orders? Why continue to antagonize?

No. He was standing to the right of the car when it was stationary. The driver backed up with her wheels turned to the left, reorienting the vehicle toward him. Then she straightened her wheels, shifted to drive, and goosed it - spinning her tires on the ice in the process.

The video from his phone shows her looking straight at him when she mashed the gas pedal.

The narrative & headline was WELFARE FRAUD, POLITICAL CORRUPTION.

It is now WOMAN 37 SHOT. The headline shifted from pro-MAGA to pro-LOONIES. It does not matter whether the shooting was justified or not. The headline, the narrative is what matters in this war MAGA is in.

Come Nov 2026 we need the hearts & minds of the voters.

In all US police training the goal is to only use lethal force if there is no other option. The ICE agents in front of the car could have stepped out of the way. Then there would be no story. The protestors lose when they lose the narrative.

(If this were hollywood they could have shot out the tires.)
