I’m usually anti-cop on these threads, but if the facts are as written, it sounds like a righteous shoot to me.
I guess for todays standards. But 20 years ago no one would ever be shot based on the original crime/ police call. Nowadays it seems that confrontation and death are far more likely then they used to be.
I grew up in the fifties. Cops weren’t fast on the trigger, but if you rammed them a couple of times you would probably get return fire.
