Just because the mother is an idiot and put her children in danger doesn’t excuse a cop firing at the children. The cop’s life wasn’t in danger.
How do you know the cop’s life wasn’t in danger? Report said one of the “children” was 18. He or she apparently remained in the vehicle but the cop obviously saw him/her. How did the cop know there wasn’t a gun in the car? If the woman had been cooperative, none of this would have happened.
That being said, I have never heard of getting a speeding ticket and having to pay it right then or go to see a judge right then. What if you don’t have the money to pay the ticket? Do you go to jail for speeding or any other traffic infraction?
