Excellent analysis and it's consistent with my military experience in CQB, and pursuit training, the bottom line is that the shooting wasn't justified and it comes down to "incompetence", poor judgement, and inherent biases in the individual, imo
But read this, it's worth your time.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
