>>I bet you an adult beverage the police did not park in her way and remain in their cars, but knowing this driver was ramming vehicles, this driver was a deadly threat to not only them but the public as well.
As I stated, I listened to it on the radio. There were calls to “put your car in front of her” followed by “she hit him.”
I started out as a vehicle driving erratically at 2 am in a part of town that is mostly industrial. They shot her once she was boxed in and couldn’t move anymore, so her “weapon” was neutralized.
She was still a threat if she had not turned off the car. Did the driver have a weapon? Who knows? Betting your life? Did the driver hide her hands? Did the driver reach for something?
Parking a patrol car in front of a reckless driver is done and the driver of the patrol car gets out and away from the vehicle.
You painted a picture of what you heard, not what you saw.
And, again, DS has nothing to do with the decision to open fire on a vehicle ramming cars and being driven recklessly.
It appears you are inadvertently arguing otherwise by using the liberal tactic of pulling on heart-strings by focusing on information discovered after the fact as opposed to the here-and-now facts and threats the police were dealing with.
You have your mind made up, I get that, and no matter what logic and fact I present will make a difference, so we should let this go.
