A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

I watched it, that actually makes it much worse. He never should have been in front of the SUV. We are trained do not get in front of a vehicle like that, there’s only bad outcomes. Also, his video clearly shows she was not surreptitiously reaching for any objects within the vehicles drivers compartment, so the only defense for the agent would be that she was trying to run him over, which clearly isn’t the case, as emphasized by the fact that his legs were out of the way. The video also shows the SUV was moving so slowly that even in icy conditions he should’ve just moved out of the way. In the department of justice we are prohibited from using deadly force purely to prevent escape. Bad shoot all around

It appears the idea is to pursue the Maduro capture as a law enforcement issue to sidestep the illegal act of war. But 5000 of our best lawyers have been purged from the DOJ. What’s left? Unqualified flunkies whose flawed indictments have been quashed by judges. What happens if the indictment fails?
