The dead fool had a 3000 pound weapon. He was revving the engine. How does the officer know if the fool will slam in reverse then try to runt he officer down? Bury the dead fool and take the officer off of the street for a few weeks. he probably saved someone’s life down the road from a driving while extremely drunken fool.
“How does the officer know if the fool will slam in reverse then try to runt he officer down?”
The officer doesn’t know. No one can predict the future.
What the officer did know is that the man didn’t slam it in reverse and then try to run him down.
Listen, I am a boot-licking copsucker.
There is a problem with this shooting.
I don’t think he intended to kill the man, but he did kill the man, and yeah the man was not a good guy, but did he deserve to be shot in the head at that moment? I don’t think so.
So, with that logic, why don’t we just kill everyone who runs or drives away suddenly from the police?
All those car chase scenes on TV, gone, if the cops can just pull out a gun and shoot them all.
Sheesh...you people scare me.
