Oh and other little things. He had an opportunity to give a verbal warning from his superior position and didn’t. That is also an issue legally. That is the lowest level of the use of force continuum. A verbal challenge telling her to stop. Sometimes you can’t, but he had a clear chance to do that to try to gain control.
That has been a thing since the 1930s. It was an issue when Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed and shot to pieces. Even back then shooting without warning from ambush was very thin ice, even if you are out hunting Bonnie and Clyde.
The team said they yelled a challenge and then started firing. I personally wonder if they did, but they were smart enough to say they did.
But the guy has a very good chance of getting off. He is black, and a Brazilian immigrant, his police chief is black, the jurisdiction is in DC, he was assigned to Schumer, and the communists are in power. So essentially he will get off or not even be charged. But rest assured, that was a highly illegal shoot under every law enforcement standard since the early 1980s.
