Every headline aiming to justify Jonathan Ross’ shot into the car obfuscates the fact that deliberately placed himself in front of her vehicle.
Headlines like this get us talking about exactly what they want us to talk about: whether or not Jonathan Ross was struck by a vehicle.
What we’re not supposed to talk about is why Jonathan Ross created the opportunity to be struck, or what led to him being struck and dragged by another vehicle six months ago.
In 2014 DHS published an internal audit report stating that on dozens of occasions their officers would intentionally stand in the path of vehicles to fraudulently justify use of force in shooting the drivers out of “frustration.”
It was such an issue that DHS had to issue an entirely new handbook and guidance explicitly training their agents not to stand in front of cars on purpose.
They have tons of instances of their officers intentionally blocking a vehicle for the sole purpose of then firing at it - and their policy is officially that their agents should never do that.
From the document: "It should be recognized that a 1/2 ounce (200 grain) bullet is unlikely to stop a 4,000 pound moving vehicle, and if the driver of the approaching vehicle is disabled by a bullet, the vehicle will become a totally unguided threat.
Obviously, shooting at a moving vehicle can pose a risk to bystanders including other agents."
There is little doubt that the safest course for an agent faced with an oncoming vehicle is to get out of the way of the vehicle."
The actual handbook is available here: https://imlive.s3.amazonaws.com/Federal Government/ID255426897069329047495080324203699905714/2.2.1_Attachment 21 - ICE Firearms and Use of Force Directive and Handbook.pdf
Page 12 includes the following:
- Deadly force is not authorized solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.
Deadly force against a fleeing subject is only authorized if there is probable cause to believe that the escape of the suspect would pose an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or another person.
The 2013 report is here: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/PERFReport.pdf
He started in holstering his gun before she even moved.
You bet your ass if I see one of these masked goons standing in front of me, looking me in the eye while they unholster their gun…I’m leaning over like I’m giving my passenger a blowjob and flooring it, and hoping I stay on the road till I feel a couple bumps.

New video angle & analysis utterly disproves the ‘internal bleeding’ claim.
Killing the 60 minutes story? Bari Weiss?
Stop posting links to CBS news
- All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
News media has been doing this for decades. Using just enough truth to win a libel suit if it ever came down to it.
Fox News is the gold standard here tho.
