We have plenty of footage of the Good shooting, including clear footage showing the tires pointed away from him.

He placed himself in a dangerous position, in direct contravention of ICE policy on the matter. At least twice!

> He won't be found liable or guilty of anything.

Sure, but that's not because he shouldn't be.

The clear footage we have is of the car hitting the agent. The car starts moving, when previously stopped, in violation of a lawful command, and travels directly into an agent. He can't see the tires from his viewpoint, so that doesn't influence his actions. He was hit by a car and returned fire.

You want him to be found guilty of a policy violation? Do you think there's real consequences for that?

He's not guilty of a crime. Look at some legal analysis or something, it's not hard to find.
