Former law enforcement officer, Kramer Hammy has posted to “Threads” a discussion that proposes that ICE agents involved acted outside their “Scope of Authority” during the events involving Renee Nicole Good, the mom killed by ICE in Minneapolis.
"As a former officer, let me make something clear: ICE agents ARE NOT police officers, deputy sheriffs, or troopers. They are not local/state law enforcement. They are not federal criminal law enforcement. They have an INCREDIBLY limited scope of authority, and that scope of authority exists in detaining and arresting with probable cause and/or SIGNED WARRANTS those investigated and suspected of being in the US illegally. ("This ENTIRE Situation in Minnesota Was Outside of the Scope of Legal Authority, n.d.)
The use of lethal force by law enforcement officers has a controversial history in Western Society. Some of the guidelines that I recall expressed in Canada include:
Preservation of human life is the highest priority of law enforcement.
Lethal Force is justified to counter Lethal Threat
When the RCMP activate a lethal weapon it is used to apply lethal force.
Many people have concerns that the training of ICE agents has neglected emphasis on the consequences of action outside of their scope of authority and in neglect of the moral and human respect that is required to prevent tragic outcomes from an ill considered and possibly illegal use of Lethal Force.
