Where is the immediate threat to life and limb?

They're claiming that the other woman was driving the vehicle towards officers, but shooting at a moving vehicle is never justified anyway.

It's all bullshit to protect the police here.

Life and limb of shareholder money.

the cops will lie to create one, they always do. Hopefully it was being recorded-- its the only way to have a chnace of justice when cops are present.

What really gets me is that tracking down vehicles is like the purpose of Flock and other ALPRs and dead people usually can’t hit the brakes.

So even having had a chance to see the license plate personally and living in a world where helicopters and magnetic AirTag like devices exist if you don’t have access to Flock or some other ability to simply follow the fucking car for whatever reason they still think they were justified in killing a child in order to… not stop the car before it would have hit an officer if it was going to because, like I said earlier, dead people don’t generally have the ability to stop cars…

And let just be totally honest, if you have time to register speed and direction of a car, unholster, unsafety, cock, aim, and fire, then you or whoever else had time to get out of the fucking way of the car!!!

Lookout, Jimbo! She's comin' right for us!

This, but unironically.

if there were any evidence that supported the cops' story, they would have released it.

the fact that none of the footage from WALMART or any dash or body cam footage has been released tells you everything you need to know.

They don't even need to, they know who she is they can just charge her bank account directly with zero violence, zero public officer duty labor hours, zero weapon discharge bullets costs.

When you have a hammer and a ducktape, have been trained to only use a hammer, taught that everything is a nail, all you can do is hammer nails.

The tape is just there. Hammer is all that's ever used

Not to disagree with your central point, but shooting out tires is extremely impractical in real life. It still won't stop the vehicle, and you'll almost certainly miss.

legally punishiable by the death of your child but

Ftfy it's worse than what you said

“You’ve heard of animals chewing off a leg to escape a trap? There’s an animal kind of trick. A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.” - Dune, Frank Herbert

Substitute firing a weapon for chewing off a leg.

"In a subsequent investigation we discovered the diapers were in fact damaged by the officer. The officer in question has been executed."

Look up the "paper bag test", it's a long standing American law enforcement doctrine. Sometimes formal, sometimes informal, always in effect.

This was always my train of thought. Why not just get the license plate and let the suspect think they got away, then just catch them at home later. American cops are just trigger happy assholes.

And carry all that ammo both ways?

Yeah it is the entire point. It's an extra charge they can guarantee if they don't comply.

They do if you have a 6,000 sq/ft home.

Like when they slowly strangled George Floyd to death over a $20 bill. It's never about the alleged crime. They'll keep murdering people and getting away with it until they don't.

They refuse to be tried as individuals. They stand together.

Yeah, but diapers kinda sounds like diamonds and minor kinda sounds like miner and diamonds are mined by miners who sometimes unionise but not like police unions which are good but workers unions which are like socialism which is like communism which is bad and anti-American and why do you hate America what do you want the terrorists to win?

Sadly, it happens in every state now. This shit just doesn't make the news unless it happens to a young, wealthy white woman.

If they don't escalate the scene to 999 right away, how can they justify shooting of innocents? Your logic is getting in the way of their fun! /s

When it's convenient to do so, they equate the vehicle to a giant gun the driver is pointing at them. That way they don't need to think at all and can pull trigger until scary thing stops.

It’s because the cop wanted to shoot a black person.

Not only white but two misconduct charges and an internal complaint days prior to the shooting for making racially offensive remarks to a coworker. Yet this is the guy the AG let’s skate for murdering a baby because the vehicle was “driving in their direction” and “nearly struck him”. Last month their police chief was fired for texting racial slurs, on a completely unrelated note.
