I’m sure this will be determined to be a legitimate use of deadly force but it stinks to me.
Not sure what the driver was reaching for, I assume NYSP didn’t know either.
Based on ONLY the video...cop’s going down.
I don’t know what the final decision will be, but remember: Running from the cops by means of a high speed vehicle chase indicates that the person fleeing has a very serious intent to not be interrogated by the cops.
In reading of the final outcome in these events, I have noted that a large number of them are convicted felons, narcotics in the vehicle, vehicle stolen and the felon armed. Not either/or...all three are common.
I believe any cop that has been in uniform for very long knows the odds.
So I would not condemn the cop until we hear the full story.
If someone has his gun drawn at you regardless of who that person is, why would you not cooperate ? Especially if that person seems to be on edge.
Was the person who was shot Black? because that is the only detail that matters.
The video of Jan 6th protest at Capitol shows a cop murdering a woman, so how did that go?
Looks like the Glock is jammed/out of battery as he walks up to the wreck so a 3rd shot would likely been impossible.
IF cop is yelling at you to get out and holding a pistol on you, why would you not comply? Insane.
