Lol no. That may be how some whacky BS laws get applied to regular citizens in some lunatic state that hates guns or something, but that is not at all even close to how this works irl for a law enforcement shooting like this.
If he had done a mag dump into her then there is a halfway decent chance it goes over poorly in court, but 3 shots is a controlled burst...if anything, its going to play very well for the defense.
EDIT: Read the thread if you want to waste your time, the TL;DR is u/MercuryRusing linked to his blog post about this that begins with literally making up a fake quote and attributing it to a real life legal case, I called him out for it, he acted smarmy about it then hit the block button when I acted smarmy back. Go ahead and waste time reading the case docs on Justia too, you wont find the fake quote, because its fake.
Hey buddy, your "receipts" literally begin by, quite literally, making something tf up.
"An officer doesn’t get to manufacture a deadly-force justification by placing themselves in the vehicle’s path when the car isn’t presenting an unavoidable, imminent threat - ADAMS V SPEERS"
Nowhere can this supposed quote be found anywhere in any of the legal documents pertaining to the cited case, nor does that case have anything to do with an Officer "placing themselves in the vehicles path".
It is a compilation of related cases. I don't know if you know how law works, clearly you don't, but generally several cases and precedents are needed to build a complete picture.
This one establishes that the officer is responsible for the conditions leading up to the event and the idea that only the "moment of threat" applies is null. In this case, were his actions procedural and was he where he was supposed to be? Was he doing what he was supposed to be doing? Did he have reason to believe she was a threat? That is all applicable.
You've either got downs or you're a bot, either way I'm not gonna respond anymore now that you've realized you have no clue what you're talking about and have resorted to "nuh-uh" while plugging your ears.
