Episode notes
Tire Aimed At Agent Before Shooting

- He concludes the officer reasonably feared imminent harm, making the shooting legally defensible.
Recent Attacks Shape Officer Reactions
- Tim Pool links recent ambushes of ICE agents to heightened officer fear and readiness to use force.
- He says that context helps explain the agent's split-second decision to shoot.
Don’t Accelerate Toward Officers
