Just sharing some of the justification those condoning his inexcusable choice to shoot someone were using.
Interesting, former Police, Police Lawyers and ICE agents are coming out to condemn him to say it looked like and a few quotes:
"Untrained"
"Uncoordinated"
"Why does he stand infront of a car"
"Inducing trouble"
“But only one officer, seeing the set of circumstances, picked up his weapon. None of the other officers did. That’s a bad fact [for Ross],”

Donald Trump’s administration has
repeatedly claimed that a federal officer who
fatally shot Renee Good in Minnesota was justified, alleging that the
37-year-old mother of three was a “violent rioter” who intentionally used her car to ram the agent in an act of “domestic terrorism.”
The officer, who has been identified as Jonathan Ross, fired three shots because he feared for his life, according to administration officials.
But former
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and police misconduct experts dispute the administration’s insistence that the use of deadly force was justified and questioned
the officer’s behavior.
“Law enforcement policy should always be about using the least amount of force and preserving people’s lives,” Diane Goldstein, a former police lieutenant and executive director of the Law Enforcement Action Partnership,
told USA Today.
The footage suggests “a lack of supervision, a lack of training and a lack of understanding of what other tactics are available to deescalate these types of situations,” she said.

Video analysis from footage taken by several witnesses — as well footage
from Ross himself, who was filming his interaction with Good and her partner with one hand while grabbing his firearm and shooting at her with his other — shows masked ICE officers approaching a Honda Pilot in the middle of a residential street.

Ross can be seen getting out of his car and leaving the door open as he approaches Good. Her partner is walking around Good’s car, filming Ross. Meanwhile, another vehicle pulls up to the scene to the left of Good’s car, and two officers exit and approach her while she is sitting in the driver’s seat.
An officer can be heard saying “get out of the f****** car” while an agent puts a hand on the opening of the driver’s side window and pulls on the outside handle.
At the same time, Good’s car backs up slightly, then pulls forward and begins to veer to the right. As her car moves forward, turning slightly to get around another SUV to her right, Ross moves to the front of her car.
As her car pulls forward and begins to turn, Ross fires three shots. Her car accelerates and crashes into a parked car further down the street.
“I don’t hear anybody (saying) like, ‘Hey, police!’” retired ICE agent
Eric Balliet told CBS News.
“You saw what could be easily identified as four ICE officers. And they’re all experiencing, to a greater or lesser extent, the same set of operative facts, the same factual stimuli,” veteran Minneapolis-area police misconduct lawyer Robert Bennett
told Mother Jones.
“But only one officer, seeing the set of circumstances, picked up his weapon. None of the other officers did. That’s a bad fact [for Ross],” he said.

Balliet also said he did not understand why an officer would put himself, on foot, “in front of a moving, running or occupied vehicle.”
“You’re almost inducing a shooting if that person decides to flee," he told
USA Today. “If someone is fleeing, that is not a justification for the use of deadly force. The threshold becomes: is your life in imminent danger or is someone else’s in imminent danger?”
In a major decision last year, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected arguments that an officer who fatally shot a man in Texas was justified after he blindly fired two shots into a man’s car as he drove away.
The justices rebuffed arguments that focused on “the moment of the threat” rather than “the totality of the circumstances,” the standard that the court argued should be applied in use-of-force cases.
“It’s a shooting case where the officer walked around the car, [lunged and jumped onto the door sill], and put himself in harm’s way. You can’t bootstrap your own bad situation"
