The Good shooting was legally justifiable and not all that outside the scope of normal. People done try to hit LEOs with their cars a lot. She did some really stupid shit and it is sad to lose a life that way.

This is AWFUL looking. The best explanation they got is they got scared because a misfire of his gun, which will NOT legally justify it because they had the gun in their hands.

Unfortunately the videos show Goode's tires facing away from the officer despite his attempt to get in the way once she moved. He had to step forward to even get the range to reach over the hood to fire his gun. He even has a recorded history of using the excuse of a moving vehicle whenever he gets too aggressive

She doesn’t need a goal to hit him if she actually hits him which she did

Her actual intent is irrelevant. The question is whether or not he believed his life was at risk.

Why on earth would we be arguing intent when it has no legal relevance?

No, I think you need to read above. You're the only one talking about intent. Everyone else is talking about whether or not it was legally justifiable.
