The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Steve203: For instance: seems officers should be trained that, if a vehicle is coming at you, shooting the driver dead, will not stop the vehicle.

He either wasn't trained or didn't heed his training.

ICE officers are trained to never approach a vehicle from the front and instead to approach in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire.

When he fired, he easily could have shot another officer.

Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle. That's a big no-no.

And they're taught only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death. That ICE officer could have simply let her drive away.

ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.

Look, he failed to act correctly and she died.
