Jonathan Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.

So, is the Star Tribune stating that since he was dragged along previously, he panicked and fired this time? Or that he reported a while back being dragged along, so that charge might be bullshit too?

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, we don't know exactly, but the court documents state that he was dragged after smashing the driver's window, reaching in, and trying to open the door from the inside. The driver panicked (rightfully) and tried to drive away.

That driver seems to be an asshole (wanted for sexual assault). But putting your arm into an operational car with somebody behind the wheel who does not want to surrender sounds like the stupidest idea in the world.

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

It absolutely does, just like putting an agent who's still "sensitive' about vehicle stops on an operation where he's stopping vehicles.

Almost like the DHS and ICE are run by deeply unqualified people with none of the requisite training.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

No, they’re reporting that’s how they found his name.

The DHS put it out there in the first place so they could say it’s okay he shot a civilian at point blank range.

I'd want to know specifics of the dragging story . There might be details relevant to the present.

They keep bringing it up so that incident gets conflated with this one when morons are talking about it.
