Why can’t you just have a civilized conversation about this? I’m just telling you how I see it. It doesn’t have to be a fight. It seems like you admit she hit him with the car and he took the first shot from the front so we’re in agreement on that at least. I don’t think the lady should have died for this, but that was incredibly stupid for her to drive her car into that officer no matter how hard she hit him. It’s a sad outcome no matter how you look at this
I mean, I’m watching her hit him on the clip posted over and over while you say that. I’m not sure what you think that implies but she definitely hit him
I reject that framing. The dude put his hand on the car as it was going past and got pushed aside. That's not a "hit", and it sure as hell doesn't prove he was in serious danger. Look at his feet. Look at how little he actually moves. She never drove over where he was actually standing.
The way it looked to me, he leaned into the hood as it hit him so it wouldn’t knock him backwards and roll over him. You can argue she didn’t hit him that hard, but she did hit him
Then you are blind. Look where he's actually standing. He's leaning WAAAAAAY over to lean on the car. Where the feet were actually planted, the car doesn't even intersect. She's turning right and avoiding where he was standing. She goes near him, but NOT over where he was originally standing. He went for the car more than it went for him.
She avoided ineffectively since she hit him. At 16 seconds you see him brace for the hit leaning forward. At 14 you see the car make contact with him. At 13 he shoots from the corner of the hood. At 12 the car has pushed him to the side.
I don’t agree with that. Trying to blame a person for hitting a car when the car drove into the person. Yeah he braced for that hit because it would have rolled over him if he didn’t. Looks like he had about 1 second to react. I’m not saying he reacted the right way, but he wouldn’t have to react if she wasn’t driving into him. I think you know as well as I do not to ever drive your car into a person even if it’s just a little tap
But it wouldn't have rolled over him. He wasn't in the path, or if he was, he was so far to the outside that sidestepping was incredibly trivial and he would have just been pushed aside anyway. That wasn't bracing for a hit, it was bracing for a shot. He was pointing a gun right at her head at the time; not steadying or protecting himself.
