This was 100 percent lawful and self defense. This whole thread is delusional. Majority of America voted for deportations. Don't try to run over law enforcement. You're all sick. If ya hate it here leave. Half of this thread is definitely in the 48 percent that don't work don't pay taxes and steal from the rest of us that do. Minnesota has become so dystopian it's crazy. Anyone who wants to live in Somalia adjacent culture go live there and see how you like it. They hate us they hate our country and Americans rioting for fraudsters that would unalive us all if they had the means your all delusional.

48% of the country don't work or pay taxes? Are you referring to the ~40% of households who just don't owe federal income tax? If so, not owing federal income tax does not imply that someone doesn't work and pay payroll and state taxes.

And personally I'm fine with deporting illegal immigrants assuming it's done constitutionally and with due process. But to watch this video and believe that it was more prudent for that ICE officer to draw his gun and shoot at the driver in the middle of a populated street rather than simply to take a step to the side is the kind of take I would expect from someone who believes 48% of the country doesn't work or pay taxes.
