Jonathan Ross: untrained goon?
Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent involved in the fatal shooting incident in Minneapolis, has a rich military background. He served in the Indiana National Guard from 2002 to 2008 and deployed to Iraq from 2004 to 2005 as a machine gunner on a gun truck and a combat logistical patrol team. His service included earning the Army Commendation Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, Global War on Terrorism Medal, and the Iraq Campaign Medal. After his military service, Ross joined U.S. Customs and Border Protection and later joined ICE, where he has been a deportation officer since 2015. His extensive experience and training have been highlighted as factors in his decision to use deadly force during the incident.

He showed amazing restraint, in not drawing until the car was moving toward him.

She appears calm and in control. Not scared at all. She is actually smiling like
She is enjoying the confrontation. Her wife is really mouthy with the agent.

Military training and police training are not the same thing
It has been reported everywhere that the guy was dragged 50 yards or whatever a few months ago and had to get stitches.
So, he was a traumatized loose cannon. He acted horribly and shot a woman who was not threatening him.
But she FAFO, so you're fine with it. We get it.
You have zero proof he was a traumatized loose cannon Completely differentism is nonsense.
Lots of police and deputies are ex-military. There is a reason for that.
BTW, your thoughts are not my thoughts. You never speak on my behalf.
You get nothing, Spalding.
Do you think these people who ride around, track and harass ICE are in their right minds?
When did it become ok to insert yourself into situations like this and think that is acceptable?
I wonder how many times he has been confronted and had to utilize his De-Escalation skills
during his tenure? If the first time he had been confronted like that and went GI Joe, then yes he's a gooon.
She drove an SUV at him and you want him to use his de-escalation skills.
Reality is not your friend.
1. He put himself in front of the car 2. The other officers never drew their weapons, why?

Actually, that's a very good idea...there was no reason for a gun to be drawn over a traffic issue.
btw, I've posted a couple of times the opinion of none other than the Charles Koch Foundation commentary on the need to "De-Militarize" police forces...even they saw the downside of the emerging "Rambo" style of policing...evidenced now by masked agents suited up for war and drawing guns over a simple traffic problem.
