You are probably one of the reasons why this needs to be investigated using independent investigation team.  Its very interesting how people can watch the same video and come out of it with different opinions based on their bias.

One thing for sure is that the reason the US is a shoot first ask questions later country is opinions like yours.  Everything seems to be 0 or 100 and in those situations lethal force seems to be always the go to method.  When a police officer use lethal force, there seems to be so much acceptance where it becomes the norm in the US just like school shootings.  In every situation, the character of the person who was shot is immediately questioned but what never is questioned is how should that situation could have been prevented from needing lethal force.  

Either way, its clearly shown from multiple angles of this incident that the office life was nowhere close to being in danger and 3 shots in the face pretty much proves he had ever intention of killing the woman.  Take that as you may but this probably not going to be the last incident.  Multiple officers have stated that proper procedures were not followed and even the statues for using lethal force in this situation does not favor the Ice Agent.

It is no surprise at all because people turn it into politics.    

If the police had a chance to stop James Alex and shoot him I would say yes instead of him driving on and killing and injuring people in Charlotsville.

As shown by multiple videos.  We see that Good was waving for the Ice agents to go ahead of her as the first vehicle went through with no problems.  She was not blocking their way but looking to move out of the way as she clearly is shown waving the second vehicle to go.  First encounter with her the office that moved in front of her vehicle did so but all protocols say that is incorrect.  You are not suppose to put yourself in harms way to then justify using lethal force. Not only did he move in front of the vehicle, he also drew his gun which is also against protocol since Good at this point has not done anything to justify pulling his gun on her. Second, Good backed up, turned her wheel and moved forward.  When the officer shot her he was on the side of the vehicle, clearly out of harms way.  Even still, the 2 more shots to the face were him making sure she was dead.  Meaning his intent was to kill her not self defense since the 2 other shots were when he was clearly at the side of the vehicle.

There are plenty of situations where police officers have been shone when not following protocol it usually ends up with someone dying.  There is a reason for such protocols because the situation isn't just stressful for the officer but also for the civilian.  When people are stress, illogical decisions can be made, lethal force isn't the answer and the majority of times like this situation someone dies when it should not have ever got to this point.

The fact that its political is because everything can be made political.
