Well then one can reasonably determine from the parking lot photos and the photos of the cars, that Officer White fired into her car when it was behind him and moving away from him. Else we would see bullet holes in her rear glass or trunk and not 4 holes in her windshield. From the position that the cars ended up in, which you can see from the bright orange markings in the parking lot photos, she was in reverse, moving away from him, thus a retreating "threat" at best. Simple trigonometry will be able to show this as we know where the cars were, and the bullet holes in the windshield and where they landed can be plotted.

Sure thing, and if there’s any justice in this world, this scumbag will be spending the next 23 out of every 24 hours for the duration of his possible 9 year sentence in a dark little hole. Unless he wants to go gladiator in general population. I’m actually genuinely shocked that charges were filed against him though. There must be video of all this going down that they haven’t released like the 911 tapes. Why do you think it is that they have fought not to release the 911 tapes??? If it bolstered White’s position, they would have been released pronto, I’m going to assume that they aren’t complimentary since they release 911 tapes all the time when it suits their purpose.

Now I realize such things might be a bit over your head, but you'd do well to attempt to understand the research. :)
I only bothered to peruse the first link, but I find little in relation to the dynamics (big word you might need to look up the meaning, look up statics while you're at it, in fact take the college classes, there's statics, dynamics, and strenght of materials all in a row) of people standing or sitting, and 3,000 pound cars traveling at a snail's pace in a parking lot. I know that this concept might be over your head and it might be hard for you to comprehend but attempt to use some common sense first.
“I KNOW. Call the cops? oh wait.... “
Since he wasn’t in his jurisdiction (San Diego) but in a parking lot @ Lowes in Oceanside, YES!
OTOH, if he wasn’t cop and if some drunk followed him and tried to run him and his wife down, and he defended himself with a legally carried handgun, what sort of bail would you set?

Again, you assume that the cars were traveling at a "snails pace". You assume that you have the data necessary to make a judgment and/or reconstruct the scene.
You are either extremely delusional or your hatred for law enforcement overrides all other considerations.
I assume the latter given your idiotic comments to the other poster here.
Perhaps you were busted for your dope once or twice. IDK, in any case, you seem to forget the fact that we have due process in this country, and the officer is entitled to a fair and impartial trial. Like it or not, he is innocent until the State can prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Instead you want to convict the officer, based on your own ignorance and hatred, because a lesbo/leftist DA decided to bring charges.
BTW: You know that same DA that you worship also participated in an amicus brief in the Heller case urging the Supreme Court to UPHOLD the D.C. Gun ban.
Whose the "Boot Licker" now?
I know very little about Dumanis and certainly don't worship her. But I do have a policy against arming morons, you arm one and you've got to arm them all.
For one, I've seen no evidence that anyone tried to run down anyone else. Secondly, bail should be set for the relative seriousness of the crime accused. A felony that could land you in jail for 9 years should demand a hefty bond. Joe Six Pack would have to tie up $75,000 or more of their money and then have to come up with money to pay an attorney. Since he was released with no bail, he can forego that burden and it is a perk that no average citizen would be afforded.
Where did I claim that?
“It’s assault with a deadly weapon.”
She hasn’t been charged with that.
“How ‘bout 30 years for 3x DUI, .... and child endangerment?”
If that is what the court decides. It shouldn’t be decided by a cop on the street.
“If you have followed the story from the beginning the she tried to run me down is the focal point. Apparently other witnesses dispute that part. The cops have not released much info on the case and are playing it very close. There is much not publicly known about the incident. The DA took 5 months to decide - that says something. “
The physical evidence doesn’t seem to support anything other than a slight tap between cars. The key piece being no significant damage to either car. Other than the bullet holes and little boys blood stains.
There you go again trying to make sense.
“Whether or not she was drunk has not been decided in court. The cops guilt ALSO has not been decided in court. Only in your mind. Cant cherry-pick justice.”
And yet you want to put her away for 30 years. Keep in mind he DID shoot two people. Of that there is no question. The only question is his justification for using deadly force.
“Negligent discharge of a firearm??”
Tell ya what, aim your handgun at a patrol car and squeeze one off.
They will charge you with “Negligent discharge yada yada..”
Get real. They’ll nail you with something from the patriot act and you’ll never see the sun shine again.

You have a point, fire off 5 rounds at a police car, with 4 entering the windshield within close proximity of the driver, and I'm betting the lowest count would be Attempted Murder.
So anyone with a bad background should be shot?
He didnt see the boy through the tented windows but though the boy was shot in the leg, compared what the mother has been doing right along, the officer probably saved the boys life by getting her behind bars.
I keep hearing that he couldn't see through the tinted windows. If so, what was his target?
