    According to ICE, two officers pulled Villegas González over, but he resisted arrest and attempted to flee the scene.

    If I were going to get black bagged, deported to Africa, and sold into slavery, I also would flee from ICE.

    When you hit and drag an officer with your car, you are going to be shot at. We have a long history of prosecuting “being hit by a car” as “assault with a deadly weapon” in this country. Especially when we have had so many cases of drinks, drug dealers, and so on, attempt to kill police with their cars (and succeeding in many cases) as well as killing innocent bystanders. We call it vehicular homicide.

    Before I get cancelled, I’m all for due process. ICE is doing bad things. The government is doing bad things.

    All that being said, running over a law enforcement officer, even when the officer is in the wrong, will get you shot (and probably killed).

      People didn’t read the article

      One ICE officer “was hit by the car and dragged a significant distance,” according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, which added the officer “sustained multiple injuries and is in stable condition.”

      I understand your point, but did you watch the security camera video? If you haven’t, go watch it and ask yourself if the shooting was warranted.

      Obviously you get downvoted if you do anything but blindly agree. Imagine a world where people would not always blindly follow everything that happens to fit their believes.

        Sheeple! You must agree, forget the rule of law! All must fall into lockstep with the masses.

        /s critical thinking is hard.
