Someone with brown skin? Someone trying to witness?

These murders are suddenly coming fast again.

Person allegedly killed during ICE operation in Maine
One person was reportedly shot and killed during an ICE operation in Biddeford, Maine, according to the state’s speaker of the house, Ryan Fecteau.

“This morning a shooting occurred in Biddeford. A person was killed. ICE was involved. State Police and the Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well,” he said.

Police confirmed to local news that the area where the shooting was reported has been closed and that there was significant police presence.

whisk the ICE agent out of the state immediately, and refuse to investigate.

An ICE special, as it were.

Third and fourth video show agents "comforting" another agent, unmasked.

ON EDIT: Wow, Reddit OP deleted the post.

Other posters have asked the OP and others in the area to secure their ring cam data, secure their pictures, and be careful about maintaining online anonymity. Said ICE will come after them, trying to get all of the footage confiscated.

The reason I ask, is because lots of people drive cars with dents in them. However, I wonder if the driver's side dent was ICE inflicted. And good gosh, those thugs just shoot through the front windshield.

Is this Goodfellas?
Did they watch Goodfellas as their training?

1. Tried to ram clearly marked ICE black SUV with his/her vehicle.
2. Pulled pistol from belt/purse/glove box.
3. Attacked ICE personnel with deadly karate chops.

Daniel Boucher was getting ready for work Monday morning when he heard what sounded like fireworks going off outside of his home near downtown Biddeford.

He rushed to the window, where he saw an SUV trying to ram a small white car in the intersection. Moments later, agents in vests stopped the car and pulled the driver out.

“He was bleeding profusely from the head,” Boucher said later Monday morning. “He was talking. He said, ‘I tried to stop.'”

Boucher watched in disbelief as the man’s legs stopped moving as he lay on the ground. He believes he watched him die.

And how does a driver know that an unmarked car is driven by government agents and not by a road rage fool ramming them?

It's like when they shoot a suspect on foot in the head or chest, and not the legs.

I know the protocol now is "shoot to eliminate the threat".

But I wouldn't be surprised if there are numerous police all over the country, who still shoot tires now and then. Sometimes it's a way to disarm a drunk driver or a kid who stole his parents car.

But isn't the purpose to of the PIT maneuver to stop a vehicle. Why shoot the subject, when you can arrest him after successfully stopping vehicle?

It doesn't appear the PIT maneuver was designed to "kill drivers", but to stop vehicles.

It appears to be successful in this case and the Houston case. So why shoot after they have disabled the vehicle?

Also, I would think the PIT maneuver is not commonly performed with unmarked vehicles.

Usually with real cops, vehicles are marked and in those cases, the driver pretty much knows what's going on.

In the Houston case, the vehicles appeared to be going about 35 mph
