I think in these cases we need to be very careful of those very, very subtle differences else we err in assuming that anyone was in charge of the event.
This turned into a case of 4 women and 2 young children and a cop who shot one of the women, but not the one driving the car, and say, what ya' think about shooting into a moving vehicle with chillun' in it ~ very Waco-ish isn't it ~ makes me wonder if these women were hardened criminals or just very stupid.
There's a tradition of making sure you know what your target is before pulling the trigger ~
I do and I also fully understand that the driver assaulted him with a deadly weapon. This is not like the movies, he had to defend himself instantly and since it was unrehearsed and unscripted it did not go perfectly. Every bit of that is on the criminals, not the cop. He was justified morally and legally. He had reasonable cause to be there. The thief had already physically accosted him at the exit door of wal-mart and failed his orders to stop. The driver attempted to cause gross bodily harm or death using her vehicle as a deadly weapon. Facts my friend just the facts. The driver should be charged with at least negligent homicide. She introduced and used a weapon in the commission or a crime that resulted in a death. There are two other points that need to be fully understood. FIRST These three breeding feral Americans made the choice to bring children with them while they committed these crimes. Mothers who had already planned to commit illegal acts chose to have their children physically involved in this crime scene. SECOND After this young lady was shot and they illegally fled from the crime scene and stopped in the apartment building parking lot a friend/bystander stated she observed that the woman was injured but still talking and tried to help her. That person stated that they could not find help to assist him!!!!! sooooo either her friends who were in the car ran off and left her there or stood back and did nothing. Great friends they turned out to be.
