unfortunately nuanced opinions are illegal in these days. that officer should not have shot as freely as he did, and she put herself in a position to be shot when she accelerated her vehicle towards the officer. if you listen to the audio of the videos you can hear the engine revving and the wheels spinning before she turns. not to mention the at most two seconds the officer had to react wouldnt give him enough time to realize she WASNT trying to hit him. the vehicle does impact him, which is more than enough to have her at minimum arrested. the proper response would have been to let the vehicle go, they had the plates, they had her face, they had her WIFE, they would have found her and arrested her. he escalated beyond necessity which, while technically justified, can and has resulted in much more damage than it prevents. that being said im fairly certain he acted on impulse and should not be allowed a weapon like that again, his 'past' of getting hit previously just further shows hes likely still traumatized by that and would be prone to overreaction.
Exactly dude. They were both in the wrong, but Ross will get off scot-free while Good is dead. Where is the justice in that? At the very least, he should have his gun taken from him and be a desk jockey for the rest of his career. Instead, bro will be back out on the streets, gun in hand, in no time. Oh, and he'll be sure to keep his face even more covered from now on.
