Why we used this label
The judge’s statement directly challenges the asserted justification by saying the reason for firing was unclear.
HSI agent Benedict Bebber fired into Phillip Brown's vehicle during a D.C. traffic stop. DHS says Brown drove at officers; Brown's lawyers dispute that account. Released video captures the gunfire but not the trigger pull.
