A cop investigates a report of a suspicious loiterer hanging around in a school parking lot. The cop confronts the suspicious loiterer and the loiterer, rather than simply hand over valid ID to the investigating cop, tries to roll up her window and flee the scene while the cop is standing right next to the loiterer’s vehicle. The cop shoots the school parking lot loiterer and now she’s dead.
Does that about wrap up this latest episode of ‘Tales of Darwin’?
(shrug) I guess the moral of the story is, just hand over your freaking driver’s license if a cop asks to see it.
Stay alive. There’s plenty of time to run around in circles screaming, “Tyrannical oppression!” later.
We don’t know that she refused to hand over her ID to the cop. That’s what the same cop who shot her *said* she refused to do.
We do know the officer claims to have had his hand in her vehicle. There was no legal reason for his hand or arm to be in her vehicle.
We do know the officer claims to have been *dragged* when his arm was trapped by the windows-which-roll-up-via-crank; meaning that we are either discussing an officer who either has extremely slow reflexes, low intelligence, and/or who is a very poor liar.
I guess the moral of the story is, just hand over your freaking driver’s license if a cop asks to see it.
Or risk being gunned down even though unarmed and no threat? Are you going to admit on FR that you are just fine with this?? I'd like to know, in case I run across a post from you in the future.
