“These pictures are not the best but I see no damage to the cars, so is the officers story true”
If a cop is standing and someone tries to run him down he should have the ability to shoot them. It would be better to jump out of the way though.
We’ve all seen the video of cops stepping in front or up to a moving car and then opening fire. The premise is usually that the driver was trying to kill the officer. IMO the officer has already decided to shoot when he steps into the danger zone.
IMO thats what happened here. She did not know he was a cop. All she knew was that a guy was pointing a gun at her. She tried to drive out of danger and came close to and probably scraped his car slightly. He had already decided to shoot her and didn’t let lack of damage or lack of a threat to him impact that decision.
All the folks here saying “ram” or “run him down” or equally misleading terms are covering for him.
Using information learned after the shooting to justify the shooting is just an example of cops protecting other cops, in other words corruption under color of the law.
