Well, I certainly don't believe the NY Times.

The ICE officer's first shot was clearly a justified shooting as he was right in front of the vehicle. She reversed, and instead of stopping, started going forward.

It's absurd to start talking about which way her wheels may have been turning, for one thing, how is the officer in front of the vehicle when it's basically on top of him, going to be able to see which way the tires are at any given micro second.

Second, she could just have easily yanked the steering wheel back toward him.

Hindsight is 20-20 and these things are not determined by hindsight, but by the officer's viewpoint in an emergency situation.

The 2nd and 3rd bullets are somewhat problematic as it looks like she was heading away by that time. But to proclaim anything is so clear that he's guilty beyond a reasonable doubt is simply your bias, and the NY Times's.

A more interesting issue is that the deceased SUV driver, if one looks at the available photos of her, clearly has strong indications of fetal alcohol syndrome. So maybe she was just mentally impaired. That is consistent with being a Leftist who thinks it's a good idea to do what she did in this particular situation.
