5. Who is accountable? ICE killing in Minnesota reignites Bay Area debate over police shootings of drivers (eastbaytimes.com) — A recent ICE shooting in Minnesota is sparking renewed scrutiny of police shootings involving moving vehicles, including a high-profile case where Fremont police gunfire killed a teen passenger and led to a $21 million jury award. Bay Area civil-rights attorneys compare the Minnesota video to local incidents and argue that officers too often fire at cars instead of moving away, even as California has tightened its deadly-force laws.
