MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Democrats took to social media following the deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis to demand to know why the agents can't just shoot cars in the legs to de-escalate situations.
In the wake of the shooting of a protester, Democrats renewed their calls for law enforcement officers to wound criminals instead of shooting to kill when confronted with split-second life-or-death decisions.
"I know exactly what I would do in that situation," Democrat Dan Sands wrote on social media platform X. "I would shoot that car straight in the leg to stop it from moving forward. That's the moral thing to do. I always know what cops should do in every situation, even though I've never held a gun in my hands."
Liberals weighed in online, asking why law enforcement officers aren't trained specifically to shoot cars in the legs or feet to stop such situations from getting worse.
"Yet another clear case of police brutality," Shana Hinkle wrote online. "Those cops should have just aimed their guns at that car's kneecaps and wounded it. That would be the very best thing to do in a situation like this. Pointing a gun at something with the intent to kill it is never OK, even when the thing you're shooting is trying to kill you."
At publishing time, Democrats also wondered why a car should stop at all for an ICE agent when ICE agents have no jurisdiction over automobiles that were born in the United States.
