the video does not paint a very good picture of the officers.
they put themselves in the path of the vehicle... fired on her and then reported shots fired.
it appears they over reacted. take her plate info and keep her there without trying to break her window and flashing guns.
flame away
Hard to believe that he fired a shot over that. These police are way too trigger happy. He was clearly able to get out of the way without shooting. They could have easily apprehended her later.
That being said, she greatly contributed to her demise. Without her actions stealing, then fleeing, nothing would have happened. She is the root cause.
fired on her and then reported shots fired.
********************
Your comment seems to insinuate that the cops reported shots fired as if to say she fired on them. When a cop discharges his/her weapon they report shots fired. SOP
Yeah, not a good look.
You’re right. Because black people can do whatever the f’ they want to do.
Yes you just don't do that intentionally. Your body is not a vehicle barrier. Having said that she is still responsible for her own actions.
OK--you're the expert. Explain how to do that--exactly. Be detailed.
Hard to do when there are no license plates on the car.
Don't necessarily disagree with you on this one but the context is important here.
This woman was part of organized theft ring that has been running wild in the area. The car she was driving did not have a license plate to take a plate number from.
In that community, driving a car without a plate is sign that the car is stolen and being used in illegal activities - which it was.
Was shooting an appropriate response - I'm not sure as was not there. There certainly is cause but I'm not sure the cause justifies a fatal shooting. I personally would not have taken a shot and most of my LEO friends would not either.
Baloney. She got what she deserved.
