    It can’t be morally justified but nobody should be shocked when it gets legally justified. I’m as disgusted as anyone that ex-army people get hired as cops, and that policing itself is basically militarised, where if a person moves their hand slightly then they get killed. Nothing will change and I’m just going to enjoy the polarisation from outside the US. It’s not clear to me why ICE would randomly order a person from their car unless the person was blocking traffic or ICE vehicles. The shooting part I get, it’s America so I’m not surprised given that it happens all the time, but I can’t tell what happened prior to this killing. Unless there is a news article or video to add context and show was filmed prior to the videos we’ve seen so far, then I can’t say exactly what led to this.

      Hypothetically, what actions would make shooting a civilian in the head acceptable?

      Because you say it can’t be morally justified, but seem really keen to move blame away from the murderer and onto the woman who was surrounded by armed men.
