Well, let me ask you something. Say someone had just shot at a police officer with a firearm, and then was fleeing the scene, still armed with their weapon. Would the officer be justified in chasing them and trying to take them down, with lethal force if necessary?
Perhaps. Difference being, I’m not entirely sure she attempted to use her car as a weapon, any more than he did. Of course, you call it ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ when a police officer uses his car to try to force someone else to lose control of theirs. By the same token, it’s apparently never murder when cops kill citizens because we simply don’t matter to the powers that be.
Also, does that death sentence he was apparently so eager to hand out also include the passenger as well? I guess the passenger, had he been killed, would have just been more collateral damage for the police state.
