> Jonathan Ross, the murderer, was not in danger.

It's worth pointing out that there is an even stronger point on which to hang our hats. Even if Jonathan Ross "felt he was in danger", he was only in that situation due to his own actions of how he himself approached the vehicle, in deliberate violation of explicitly written ICE policy. In fact he had previously tried to stop a car with his own body in a different incident, and had ended up being dragged for quite some time. These signs point to him having deliberately created a pretext to simply execute the next person who might try to drive away from him. In other words, this was an execution with premeditated intent.
