It was straight up murder. She was driving away and he continued to fire even as she was passing him, meaning the “danger” (which there wasn’t in the first place) was past him.
Courts very likely recognize that a vehicle remains a lethal threat until it is clearly no longer capable of striking the officer — but that clarity often doesn’t exist in fractions of a second. Courts warn against “shot-by-shot hindsight parsing”. Thus. Self defense very likely still stand.
Ahh, ABC quoting and legitimizing the “she was attacking us” narrative…
Presumably somewhere there are people who don’t just assume the cops are lying. But the cops are still lying.
I’m boiling with rage. This is terrible… Fuck I want retribution.
I don’t know the best course of action right now, but Stephen Miller and Trump are counting on violent retribution. They want more violence so they can clamp down even harder. Also all over social media Russian and Chinese bots are working overtime to exploit this murder to get more American citizens to commit more violence so it erupts into a little civil war and implodes.
Just, be smart about your actions knowing all of this context. There’s still a whole lot that citizens can do short of violence.
They can’t clamp down on all of us.
And that’s what they want. A justification.
Like they already aren’t going to do what they want to do anyways? No we need to resist these mother fuckers.
That’s easy to say if you are some bold internet teenager or a Gen Z 20 something; not if you have a family or house or career.
alright so the fascists are killing us now. i don’t know when “enough is enough” will actually matter to any American but it should goddamn be right the fuck now.
But if you fight back they’ll use it as reason to kill you/s
Did they release this guy’s name yet?
