The dash-cam video shows no obvious erratic driving or traffic violation before Wilson tries to pull Anaya over.
Before being stopped Anaya told the other passenger that she didn't stop because she had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in Santa Fe Municipal Court on a concealing identify charge that carried a $500 bond.

Well obviously she represented a significant threat to the officer as she drove away.
If she did, in fact, back into his cruiser, narrowly missing him, I’d let him off criminally, but remove him from the position of authority. He doesn’t have the temperament for it.
Cops and guns are a dangerous combination. They have no respect for life or rights.
And a significant threat to anyone else she may have encountered.
Does a day go by nowadays without at least one cold-blooded murder by a cop?
I’m so glad the cop went home safely.
She wasn’t a threat to anyone. 30 years ago people ran from cops all the time for minor infractions. They didn’t get shot.
If the car is approaching you, deadly force is appropriate.
If the car is fleeing you, running after the car and using deadly force is excessive.

I know a guy who’s 48 year old sister has been in prison three times for battery. We’re talking seriously dangerous woman. She sliced most of the scalp of a woman off her head (required over 50 stitches) in a “bar fight” and “****ed up” a couple of males on the other occasions. But she kept getting out after only two of ten years each time. She’s out now and I steer clear of this woman, especially when I’m not armed.
Why mention all the drama? Sometimes a person is just dangerous. And doing what this woman did with her car (assuming that is what happened) makes her potentially dangerous in the future. For all we know that officer may have saved the lives of others in the future. She should have stopped and stayed stopped. It’s on her.

High speed chase, driver tries to run over officer, officer kills driver.
Routine stuff in SoCal.
"Canned Heat" had a song back in the 60s called "Pigs." It ended with, "If you're big, strong and stupid, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department wants you."
I think about that song when I read these stories about the retards running around with guns and badges.

Hey, attack a car - you attack the cop - even if he’s not in it. He got home safe. That’s all that matters.
A few shots from a standard issue should be enough to put a modern, aluminum block engine out of commission and slow things down enough that a more civilized conversation can take place. Easier to hit, too.
Plus, most cars/engines don't have lawyers and crowds of outraged citizens to rally around after death by cop either.
Don’t police officers have guns in part to shoot people who run?

Not too surprising that NM residents are afraid of police stops considering their recent history of unauthorized anal probes. Call it the “pucker factor.”
