Here's a video that breaks it down from multiple angles.

https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/ZSFruyE5Rh

ICE has zero authority over US citizens. They cannot detain you or arrest you unless it is immigration or customs related. They were able to go around her vehicle. They chose to escalate and violate multiple agency policies.

He violated DHS policy by putting his body in front of the vehicle. He then stood to the side of the vehicle and had plenty of time to step out of the way.

She made no contact with him other than when he put his hand on the hood of the vehicle. She was pulling out to the right, the wheels were angled away from the agents. He endangered the other agent, the passenger, and all civilian bystanders by discharging his firearm in that manner.

He also left the scene, which is not permitted. He should have been separated, surrendered his firearm and cell phone since he was using it to take pictures and video, offered medical attention if necessary on scene, interviewed, and then released to the hospital or his commanding officer.

I work in law enforcement. Any officer who did this at my agency would be on leave during the investigation and subsequently fired.

From the DOJ use of force policy:

"Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force."

The average police academy length is about 6 months. Most agencies I've been associated with are 8 months to a year.

ICE training used to be about 3 months. But they cut it in half to 47 days because Trump is the 47th president. I'm not kidding. This is how inept the people in charge are.

This is the relevant part of their training manual. But the links are included for you to read in totality.

  1. Except where otherwise required by inspections or other operations, Authorized Officers/Agents should avoid standing directly in front of or behind a subject vehicle. Officers/Agents should not place themselves in the path of a moving vehicle or use their body to block a vehicle’s path.

  2. Authorized Officers/Agents should avoid intentionally and unreasonably placing themselves in positions in which they have no alternative to using deadly force.

  1. Deadly force shall not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing subject.

7b. The hazard of an uncontrolled conveyance shall be taken into consideration prior to the use of deadly force.

Directly from the Department of Justice website.

1-16.200 - USE OF DEADLY FORCE AND PROHIBITED RESTRAINT TECHNIQUES

Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.

  1. Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.
  2. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force.
  3. If feasible and if to do so would not increase the danger to the officer or others, a verbal warning to submit to the authority of the officer shall be given prior to the use of deadly force.
  4. Warning shots are not permitted outside of the prison context.
  5. Officers will be trained in alternative methods and tactics for handling resisting subjects, which must be used when the use of deadly force is not authorized by this policy.
  6. Deadly force should not be used against persons whose actions are a threat solely to themselves or property unless an individual poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others in close proximity.

Some angry cop who wants discuss only the facts and the law, proceeds to run his mouth about politics for the first 8 minutes before even beginning to actually discuss the issue.

I stopped fucking watching when an alleged law enforcement officer said he had no problem with them not providing medical aid. Which is also against policy.

I'll watch the video you posted in it's entirety if you ACTUALLY read what I commented to you initially. Because if you had, you would know all the policies that agent violated and that I work for a law enforcement agency. I know you didn't read or watch anything I sent you, because you clapped back with more bullshit.

What is it like to be that brainwashed, that you can't even accept facts and reality? You have to go find more angry pieces of shit who agree with you?

Here's the information on the cop on the video you provided:

In 2016, Hy was temporarily suspended from his position without pay for violating social media rules by the Buffalo Police Department, particularly for creating videos while on the job, and mostly on police property. On September 13, 2016, Hy was suspended from the department again. He was charged with second-degree harassment, third-degree assault, and criminal obstruction of breathing after he and another officer got into a fight with local teenagers filming a rap video. The police report stated that Hy had threatened and berated the group and headbutted one in the face after they refused to give him the passcode to their cellphone. He also chased down the same victim and choked him in a headlock. Police reported that he appeared intoxicated and that his breath smelled of alcohol as Hy presented a bag of cannabis he had taken from them. Hy reportedly also referred to the teens using the n-word.[1] Hy pleaded guilty to one charge of disorderly conduct, and was fined and sentenced to 50 hours of community service.

In 2017, Hy was suspended again for posting a video to Facebook of his interactions while on duty of a woman struggling to stand. Hy stated it was due to heroin, and that he thought the video served as a PSA on drug addiction.

In early June 2020, Hy was among the 57 officers on the Buffalo Police Department's Emergency Response team who resigned from the team during the Buffalo police shoving incident. On June 22, 2020, Hy was involved in the arrest of then-New York Supreme Court Justice Mark Grisanti. Hy was recorded reprimanding Grisanti for name-dropping political and law enforcement connections while officers were trying to deescalate a fight between Grisanti and his neighbors. A 2024 investigation by the New York State Attorney General's Office found that this was unprofessional behavior constituting misconduct.

Hy was found by the New York State Attorney's Law Enforcement Misconduct Investigation Office to have acted in misconduct during an arrest of a 14-year-old suspected of armed robbery on July 18, 2021, by using excessive force and referring to the suspect as "fat boy". On July 19, 2021, Hy pursued a group of motorcyclists and reversed his car into a motorcyclist identified as Curtis Lee Dean, who had slowed behind his car. The subsequent interaction between Dean and Hy was recorded by bystanders. A lawsuit naming Hy was filed by Dean on August 30, 2022 over the incident. A 2024 investigation by the New York State Attorney General's Office found that Hy's actions constituted misconduct.

By February 2022, Hy had been subject to 23 internal affairs investigations for on- and off-duty behavior.[1] During this month, he was also referred to the New York Attorney General's Law Enforcement Misconduct Investigative Office.

In 2023, Hy was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, with a yearly salary of $94,528. WKBW-TV reported in September of 2023 that the Erie County District Attorney's Office had Hy listed on their Brady list.

Police officers who have been dishonest are sometimes referred to as "Brady cops". Because of the Brady ruling, prosecutors are required to notify defendants and their attorneys whenever a law enforcement official involved in their case has a confirmed record of knowingly lying in an official capacity. This requirement has been understood by lawyers and jurists as requiring prosecutors to maintain lists, known as Brady lists, of police officers who are not credible witnesses and whose involvement in a case undermines a prosecution's integrity.

So, your only argument to an unjustified shooting of an unarmed civilian is a YouTube video of a cop that can't be trusted to safely do his job either. Classic.

u/DingleMcDinglebery you responded, but it never appeared for me to see. I couldn't dm you either, so I'm not sure what you commented.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '26

u/DingleMcDinglebery your messages are still not appearing. I'm guessing you're shadow banned for spreading misinformation or something on par with it. But I'm not sure? I can't even read any of your comments.

Just dm me.

Any comment which can be boiled down to "obey or die" will result in a permanent ban to go with that boot in your mouth.

You can probably find 10,000 Somalians in MN doing this job, when they are not running a Learing center. It’ll only cost the government 100,000 per session. But hey, keep fighting to protect criminals. Dem support is what, maybe 20% -wonder why?

u/Calm_Age_ Jan 11 '26

This is what we need from our elected representatives! These is the energy we need to bring

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '26

Absolutely. An insurrection is perfect. Or, just more Dems burning things.

u/Calm_Age_ Jan 15 '26

I would rather perish in the fire, fighting for freedom, then freeze in fear only to be crushed under the boots of fascism

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '26

And you support promoting hate, fear and violence. All while saying how horrible Jan 6th was. OACs words are inciting violence far more than Trumps did. And yes, he was wrong. I suppose you’re also fine with being a major hypocrite. Keep fighting for criminals, some of whom committed acts against women and children. Awesome. Good on ya

2

u/Calm_Age_ Jan 16 '26

I'm not a hypocrite. At least not in this instance. I never said a thing about J6 and honestly this is this first time I've mentioned it in a comment. I'm fighting for everyone's freedom. If ICE is allowed to continue to rampage across Minnesota it will not end there. They are currently going door to door detaining immigrants, even if they are legal, and citizens that they determined are opposed to the Trump agenda. Does that sound okay to you? ICE was marching outside the Whipple building today with a literal self-avowed NAZI today. Even seen patting him on the shoulder like a buddy as he spewed his vile hatred. Where do you thing is the end point for all this? I want everyone to be free. I want everyone to be able to thrive. I want justice for victims of crime, not retribution. I want a country based on the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I want that for you too. What do you want?

From Britain: look up the Battle of Cable Street.

That's what we did in the 30s.

That's what you need to do now.

Ah yes it’s been 10 years now and MAGA morons still use this fake story. It’s hilarious that the party that claims everything is fake news spreads the most fake news.

Couldn't dems have made sure Trump 2.0 didn't happen again by not only prosecuting Trump when Biden was in office and treating 2024 like it the most important election in recent history?

Keeps posting hate and then deleting.

u/Gold_Cut_8966 Jan 12 '26

Good for her...this is what real representation looks like, especially in the face of blatant tyranny.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '26

Curious if she’ll be charged for inciting violence? I believe she should be. Seems hypocritical to judge Trump when her words are leading to such damage. Fraud has been identified and the very people being accused …don’t like it? Shocking.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '26

You guys are literally throwing yourselves in the way of danger instead of staying out of the way and protesting peacefully, you can stand for what you believe in you can vote however you wish without seeking confrontation with the legal operations. If you believe they are illegal and take evidence press charges talk to your congressman senators and representatives in order to provide them evidence to win a case.

u/problyted Jan 11 '26
