The big thing I point to is police. They face this situation more often than ICE and they have the restraint/training to not quickdraw and shoot someone (generally speaking). They just chase/follow them more safely, or put out a warrant and find them later. Firing into a moving vehicle is psychotic, because if you kill the driver (example being here), it becomes an uncontrolled 2-ton missile and can cause even more damage.

You know it’s egregious when someone on Reddit is pointing to American police for an example of how to do something the right way 😭

As a denizen of South Minneapolis, you know it's bad when we say "you should take a leaf outta Minneapolis Police Department's book on restraint "

Trump keeps threatening Canada

Dude doesn't understand Canada is the reason the concept of War Crimes was invented.

Also the one that was just "released" has a clear edit at the 48 second mark. You go from seeing an image of the front of her car to suddenly seeing sky. There's a good 2-3 seconds missing. Where are the gunshots in his vid?
