i mean, a guy is doing a drug deal, and when confronted, he rams a police car twice, and hits an officer with his car, before fleeing at high speed.
After a harrowing chase of the man who has already committed attempted murder with a deadly weapon (hitting the officer with a moving vehicle), the officer spends 15 seconds WITHOUT a gun in his hands telling the man to get out of the car with his hands up.
After that, the officer quickly pulls his gun and shoots the man. A gun is found in the car, which the judge notes would not have been able to be carried by the officer, noting that they have multiple video angles clearly indicating no bulges or any other signs of a weapon.
I don’t know what kind of man the officer is. But from the evidence we have, he seems like an officer who put his own life at risk, even AFTER being attacked by a man in a car, in order to TRY to get the man to surrender peacefully.
And in the end, his pronouncement in the car was correct, but more because the man left them no choice, not some sort of pre-meditation.
As for the bigger issue of BLM, the fact that they have to reach back to a questionable case from 2011 shows how few times this kind of thing happens, how absolutely rare it is for officers to behave in a bad way and NOT be punished for it.
You’re embellishing greatly Charles
