Why the downvote?

Renee Good hit the gas while her wheels were pointed to the left, directly at, and to the right of the shooting ICE officer. You can see the wheels moving the whole time. So at some moment as she drove away the ICE agent was facing an accelerating car headed directly toward him. That provides justification to shoot.

Had the street been dry she would have run into or over the ICE officer. He was spared harm b/c her car's wheels failed to fully gain traction on the icy road.

The logic and the physical situation are inescapable. You may not like it but that doesn't change the facts.

Hell there's even a theorem in calculus about this situation: maybe someone can remind me of it's name.
