"This little lady was obviously driving without a license and therefore deserved to die."

The punishment for driving without a license, alone, shouldn't be death.

However, it's interesting that some believe that the girl was acting in self-defense. If I'm 14, behind the wheel of a car, with my lights off, knowing my father is into drugs, and two agents pop out from nowhere, I'm going to think "cops" before I think "gang". As such, I would surrender, vs. making the decision to use my car as a deadly weapon (which pretty much ensures I will be killed myself). Just my opinion...

The opinion in this post does not contradict my admitting to not stopping for unmarked cars in another post. For example, I don’t do drugs, and have no reason to expect/believe that anyone is after me, for anything terribly specific (other than speeding, perhaps).

I think you may have missed the sarcasm in my post. Far too many innocents are being kill by LEOs who are afraid for their lives. We give the power of life and death to these people, it's time we start holding them responsible for their actions.
