It's true that she "was trespassing and she was unarmed" but like I said, there is more to it than that. She was part of a seditious mob that was injuring Capitol Police Officers and threatening members of Congress? Should that not be factored into whether or not the LEO's use of his weapon was justified? I know DC doesn't have a stand your ground law but MAQA is always crowing about stand your ground and that is exactly what that LEO did. So is stand your ground a good thing or not? You don't get to have it both ways based on the ideology (or skin color) of the shooter and the person who was shot.
I am questioning whether Good's vehicle was actually pointed at the ICE officer when he fired each of his shots.
I've already stipulated that Good put herself in harms way and bears some responsibility for the outcome. That does not absolve the ICE agent of all responsibility. That is what the investigation and probable trials will be for.
It's going to be a question of whether his actions were necessary and proper. My understanding is that the state can investigate and bring charges, they would likely be moved to a federal court but the state still prosecutes the case. Getting past the immunity clause is very difficult but not impossible.
Liability of a Federal Officer under State Law
the U.S. Supreme Court released Neagle and made clear that state law is displaced if it imposes burdens on a federal officer's attempts to protect federal interests or execute federal law, even if no federal statute specifically authorizes the federal official's conduct, as was the case here. Neagle established a two-prong test for this type of immunity from state criminal law:
(1) Was the officer performing an act that federal law authorized him to perform?
(2) Were his actions necessary and proper to fulfilling his federal duties? If the federal officer satisfies this test, he or she is immune from prosecution for violation of state law.
Department of Justice Policy On Use Of Force
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.
Take the L already. We've now found out the officer who shit, was dragged an injured earlier this year trying to get an illegal out of his vehicle.
