Hahahahaha! Yes because that's what everyone does when they have absolutely no regard for their own safety or life. Brave men . . . those ICE agents.

"Hey I've watched loads of Hollywood Films and detective show TV. Watch me step in front of this moving vehicle and calmly shoot the driver dead before the auto plows into me and either puts me in the hospital as a cripple or outright kills me." Because leftists SAY that this is the ICE agent's rationale.

📜 What § 609.066 actually says (in essence)

• It sets the legal standard for when a peace officer in Minnesota may use deadly force in the line of duty. 
• Under this statute, deadly force by an officer is only justified when an objectively reasonable officer would believe deadly force is necessary based on the totality of the circumstances to:
1. Protect the officer or another person from imminent death or great bodily harm, or
2. Effect the arrest/capture or prevent escape of someone the officer reasonably believes has committed/attempted a felony and will cause death or great bodily harm if not immediately apprehended. 
• The statute also emphasizes evaluating the officer’s actions from a reasonable officer perspective at the time, not with hindsight.

❗ What § 609.066 does not specifically say

The statute does not contain a specific clause about “if a vehicle accelerates toward a police officer, the officer does not have to wait until impact.” There is no explicit text in § 609.066 that says that word-for-word in the statute as such.
What the statute does provide is a general standard that deadly force (which can include using a firearm) is justified when the officer reasonably believes there’s an imminent threat that could cause death or great bodily harm.
