From what I have read, there was no warning before the cops opened fire. Even if there was some form of warning to the ladies in the truck, there have been absolutely no suggestions that they did anything to warrant the application of deadly force.

Unless you believe that failure to yield right of way and/or failure to immediately stop for lights and siren are capital offenses. That doesn’t appear to be the law, nor does it make sense to me.

There was no “chase” reported. The two women were delivering papers (IIRC) and driving within the speed limits, apparently following the traffic laws. They did not run over or try to run over pedestrians.

Police are not supposed to open fire on people who do not pose a direct and immediate threat to them or to others. I am unaware of any allegation that these women posed a threat to anyone.

I've read that both women were shot and over 100 shots were fired, but both of those stories proved to be untrue.

It has nothing to do with what I believe. Failing to stop for law enforcement can get you wounded or killed, especially if they are searching for a person who is a ruthless cold-blooded killer.
