Considering that the murderers of Pretti and Good had been with ICE for years, I don't think the training was very good to begin with.

Those weren't a training issue, they are a fascism issue. ICE has always attracted fascists, it hits all their dopamine receptors and pays them to do it.

The training issues are all these officers accidentally leaving weapons in restrooms and a discharging their firearms into neighboring hotel room beds.

I'd say walking in front of and shooting the driver of a moving vehicle is a training issue. And I don't know much about guns, but isn't firing one-handed a no-no as well?

Shooting at a moving car is a no-no because it doesnt stop it and can cause more damage if you hit the driver and they lose control

Pointing a gun at anyone you dont intend to kill is as well
