On Friday morning, cellphone footage originating from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross showing the murder of Minneapolis mother and wife Renee Nicole Good was leaked to right-wing media. The new footage conclusively demonstrates that Ross deliberately positioned himself in front of Good’s vehicle to justify murdering her.
Yeah I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure he could have shot the tires? Like. Disable the vehicle, don’t kill the driver. They had plenty of other vehicles around they could have boxed her in with. I’m not saying that boxing her in and ripping her out of her car is okay, but it sure is infinitely better than murder.
I don’t know where people got this idea that you can shoot tires to stop a car. Your car will go a long way with a flat tire. And it will go a long way on just the rim. And it will go a long way dragging the rotor, knuckle and even the fender on the ground. There is two ways to stop a vehicle with a gun. One is get lucky enough to hit a critical component, like the computer or the throttle control. Two, is to use a big enough gun to make an inspection hole in the block.
I’m not saying that it will make the car stop, but will sure as hell make it harder to get away.
Won’t really make a difference. Your car will go 70mph on flats. They’ll probably shred or catch fire, quickly, but it will get there.
