“He who hesitates dies on the side of the interstate drowning in his own blood.”
He had no gun.
His hands were up.
He had been tased.
He could not have reached into the car as the window was closed.
She may have thought she would be the heroine, but possibly is the goat now.
There wasn’t even enough time to let the tazee crumple before shooting... why bother with a tazer if it isn’t even going to mean anything?
Maybe so. But if you don’t obey the cop’s orders you take a chance with your life. Any stupid fool knows that.
“He could not have reached into the car as the window was closed.”
Could he have reached into his waistband? How did they know he was unarmed???
He was not obeying commands which left the officer in jeopardy. I think it would be reasonable assume on the part of the officer that he was waiting for an opening to attack.
If you look at the video she was by herself up until the final moments leading up to the shooting. She was unable to subdue him safely by herself. He was obviously trying to take advantage of that.
This guy had previous violent encounters with police and long criminal history.
He was shot when he lowered his arms. Are you supposed to let him get off the first shot?
