I wonder if he deafened his partner by reaching forward and shooting right past his head three times. I wouldn’t be surprised if the partner has some significant hearing loss.
He reached over and shot multiple times through the door or window of the police car at an unarmed woman who had called 911 to report an assault. He should at least be fired, and probably should be charged with manslaughter. That’s my take on it from what we know right now. Inexcusable.
Certainly, pending further investigation, even if someone like Donald Trump has to press for it to happen. There IS the malice element, I think a competent prosecutor could cogently argue from the fellow’s past.
