Agent opened fire at car, striking it, as suspect fled scene and has not been located, Stafford Township police say
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in New Jersey was reportedly struck by a vehicle and shot at the car as it fled the scene on Monday morning, according to local authorities.
The police department of Stafford Township said in a statement that it had been provided with information that ICE “was attempting to apprehend a suspect when the suspect fled from the scene in a vehicle, striking [an ICE agent]”.
“The agent discharged his firearm at the vehicle, reportedly striking it. The suspect fled the scene in the vehicle and has not been located at this time.
Based upon any video I have ever seen of ICE in this situation, my guess is that they shot first. Isn’t it standard procedure to not shoot at a moving vehicle in order to protect yourself? There was a whole debate after the Renee Goode shooting about how absolutely fucking stupid it is to shoot at a moving vehicle in order to “defend yourself.”
“After being struck by car” is one way to interpret this goon punching the windows of the vehicle before it drove off.
They keep shooting at people for fleeing, and people will start fighting.
That’s just the result of millions of years of evolution for the vast amount of the human population.
If they want people to peacefully go into custody, they need to start treating the people they detain like humans while not bumrushing people with drawn guns when they apprehend them.
If ICE agents weren’t so stupid and desperate for work, they’d realize they’re bait.
