Sorry, using deadly force: ie, shooting someone, should be applied when a felony has been committed and someone’s life is on the line. That excludes someone who purposefully jumps out in front of your car and demands that you stop.
#1, The person driving wasn’t the one killed.
#2, The person killed Is innocent until proven guilty. Which she was not...
#3 It could have easily been one of the kids that were killed.
Nobody wants shoplifters to get off, but getting a license number would have been safer and accomplished the same thing without the loss of life.
Wake up poop head.

Read along very carefully: SOMEONE'S LIFE WAS ON THE LINE. That someone was the officer who was giving a lawful order, "STOP THE CAR" to a suspect attempting to flee after being caught red-handed in the commission of a crime.

Yes, that felony even has a name, it's called attempted vehicular homicide.
Just because someone is standing in front of your car does not give you the right to run them over, nor do you have the right to run over a cop while fleeing a crime scene, even if he is standing in your open car door.
Hitting a policeman is a felony in Texas. If you have a problem with that then you’re more than welcome to lobby to change the law. Until then, it stands.
If that dumb bitch was committing crimes while her kids were in the getaway vehicle, her death is the best thing that could happen to them.
A felony was committed. He had a right to use deadly force to stop a felon fleeing from the scene of the crime.
Ya.. who does he think he is? An officer of the law?
