Which describes his actions accurately. He walked around the car from the passenger car filming, them crossed in front of it just before shooting her.

ICE has been on a tear filming protesters to look them up in their database using facial recognition software. He was doing it to go after her for exercising her 1st Amendment rights.

It will show a frightened, unarmed woman trying to escape her armed, masked killers.

He was not apprising the situation in the manner which a competent law enforcement officer would have.

As I stated on another thread, for all we know, he may have been live streaming on Facebook in order to impress his friends.

When he snapped out if his reverie, he was not mentally sharp enough to properly make life and death decisions. His impaired judgment resulted in the tragedy.
