In this case that all our lawyers are scorching every available video frame by frame to defile the Agent's actions. What everyone is missing so far is one thing. In criminal procedure, the totality of circumstances test is used to determine probable cause in order to justify an arrest or search. This is necessary because the Fourth Amendment protects a citizen from unreasonable search and seizure, so a search or arrest must be reasonable to be Constitutional, and reasonability is determined by the totality of the circumstances.

Here are things to be considered the left refuses to recognize. As we can see here, the only folks supporting law enforcement are Lead and me. The left drives the numbers up, then (as usual) blames the other side for what THEY directly caused.
These threat assessment by all law enforcement and military units. They are essential to keep your people from getting killed. Over time, all units change their Tactics: Techniques(and) Procedures: (TTP) It's essential for units to keep up with these changes. If you anticipate "cement sodas" everyone working needs that information. If the "same" group uses vehicles to run down your officers, that is an escalation of force, and one to be taken seriously. If they have guns, that is another escalation.
STATS that make a difference in the totality of circumstances in this case. Attacks on ICE Agents dramatically spiked. Among these are;
Car attacks on ICE officers have surged by some 3,200% over the past year
1,347% increase in assaults
and 8,000% surge in death threats[2][3]*
The case in point.
Renee Good had been “stalking and impeding” federal law enforcement all day, Therefore, she was a known person to ICE agents as a potential threat. Regardless of how "golden" and "pure and innocent" she is according to the liberals, her presence around the ICE agents is a red flag. ICE officers approached the woman in the rogue vehicle, later identified as Good, and ordered her to move.[2]
Good opted to “weaponize her vehicle” in an “attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents.” The defense in this case. will use that as “an act of domestic terrorism” — just one of three she was involved in.[4] This tactic has been used more this past year by a factor of 3,200%, So as a known threat, that is key to establishing a threat and protecting the agents, and it's added to the "totally of circumstances."
Secondly, there were several assaults on ICE agents(supporting the 1,347% rise in , which ended in arrests. Again adding to the totality of the circumstances.
