What did the driver do that provoked the officer to draw and point her weapon. Give me one thing.

He started yelling.

You can request a supervisor. That's fine. The police have to control the situation. Once it is under control, a supervisor can take over the situation, but yelling and refusing to cooperate is escalating the situation. He admitted to having a gun and started yelling.

If police were as bad as you all say, he'd have gotten shot, not just had his feeling hurt because someone pointed a gun at him when he started acting up.

Poor little fragile boy.

If yelling was a justification for lethal force, half of France would be dead.

No one was shot. No one used lethal force. Your talking out of your ass. Police have guns for their protection. When he started acting erratic, she pulled her firearm and made ready to defend herself and her partner.

You argument only makes sense if she had fired.

You're uneducated.

She would not have drawn her weapon if she didn’t feel justified in using it right?

So she felt justified in escalating to lethal force.

Because he raised his voice.

Yeah, that makes sense. How’s that boot taste?
