Seriously, are you retarded?
If you watch the video, he slammed his truck into the cops on purpose multiple times. When the cop got out of his car, he revved the engine as if was going to ram the cop who was no longer protected by his metal car.
Yes, I would have shot him. And I don't live near Birmingham (thank god! I visited once) but I'd shoot somebody in Birmingham or anywhere else if they tried to run me over on purpose.
You can kumbaya the truck away in that situation.
The time the cop left his car and started firing was probably 2 seconds or less. And no I’m not retarded. But my little brother is (not really but dang). And I sure did hear the truck revving. After the shooting and the driver was already dead. And I still haven’t heard the cops tell him to turn off the truck. Or any kind of warning. And actually, I saw him ram the Police car 1 time. That’s when he backed into one. Looked like to me the cops rammed the truck a couple of times. What it looked like to me was the truck was stopped, probably disabled and the threat was over. It was sure over about 2 seconds later. Oh, and I will compliment the cop about one thing. He shoots a lot better than most.
