Slow-Motion Analysis of the Shooting Video
from ICE In Minnesota & Venezuela Without Maduro | The Tim Dillon Show #478 · #478
5 min
He has the show play and replay the actual shooting footage in slow motion, narrating his read of the officer's actions and arguing the officer wasn't in mortal danger and could have used a less lethal shot.
- Without knowing what led up to the incident, Tim analyzes the shooting video frame by frame, acknowledging he has no context for why the woman was there.
- Tim concedes the woman in the car did the wrong thing because she's dead, but disputes whether the federal officer actually feared for his life at the speed she was traveling.
- Officers could have shot the tires or taken other action instead of shooting her in the head—Tim contrasts this with historical marksmen who could shoot apples from hands or hats off heads without killing people.
- Tim pivots to watching Olympic shooting footage and concludes that ICE needs to hire Turkish sharpshooters instead of officers who shoot to kill.
