It’s irrelevant that the victim’s “wife” was taunting and harassing the agents prior to the shooting, or whether Ms. Good was a nice person, or how hard her vehicle hit the officer. Even whether or not she intended to harm the agent is irrelevant to the shooting. What matters is that the ICE agent saw a deadly weapon aimed at him, and then accelerating toward him. A neighbor said, “Verbal abuse… doesn’t warrant shooting at somebody.” Another neighbor said, “Nobody gets a death sentence for a traffic violation.” But the woman in Minnesota did not die because of verbal abuse or for speeding. Either advertently or inadvertently, she hit the accelerator on her car while it was pointed in the direction of a man with a gun. That man had a right to defend himself.
