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.

"If he was in the path of the car when he fired the fatal shot, he might have a good defense; if he wasn't, it becomes more plausible that a prosecution would be appropriate."

Numerous police officers have chimed in on social media, stating that the ICE gunman violated numerous 'rules' a properly trained police officer is taught.

One such bit considers the fact that, in a contest between man and car, the outcome will always favor the car

As such, LEOs are taught to NOT place themselves in the path of a maneuvering vehicle and to not shoot at a moving vehicle.

Other such articles state that the ICE gunman had a previous altercation with a moving vehicle, allowing himself to be dragged, necessitating stitches.

It takes a special kind of stupid to take on a car with ones body a 2nd time expecting a different outcome. Shooting the driver is not an acceptable solution to equalizing the car/LEO-body equation.
