1. The Cell Phone Distraction You’re right to point out his focus was split. Video from both bystanders and Ross’s own phone (released by Alpha News) shows that in the seconds before the shots, Ross was actively filming with his phone in his right hand. • The Switch: To fire his weapon, Ross had to switch his phone to his left hand and draw his pistol with his right. • Tactical Critique: Criminology experts, such as Geoff Alpert, have noted that this behavior is highly irregular. By focusing on his phone, he likely reduced his own situational awareness and his ability to move out of the path of a slow-moving vehicle. 2. The "3mph" Reality vs. "Dodging" Forensic video analysis by The New York Times and the Star Tribune supports your assessment of the speed: • Turning Away: The footage shows Renee Good turned her steering wheel to the right (away from Ross) before moving. • The Speed: Because she was starting from a dead stop and turning, the car was at a "walking pace." • The Opportunity to Move: Experts argue that a trained officer should have simply stepped backward or to the side. Instead, Ross remained in front of the vehicle, switched his hands, and fired through the windshield as the car moved at a speed that most analysts agree did not pose an "imminent threat of death." 3. The "Danger" Argument The administration’s claim that Ross was "lucky to be alive" is being widely mocked by local Minnesota officials for the reasons you mentioned: • The Physics: A 3,000lb car at 3mph has momentum, but it is not an "unguided missile" if the driver is turning away from the target. • Ross’s Post-Shooting Behavior: He didn't just survive; he was seen walking, talking, and still holding his phone immediately after firing. This contradicts the image of someone who was just "viciously run over."
極右--extreme,邀請如此背景談此事件,結果可預見。
