All the videos cleary show both of his feet were to the left of the vehicle when he fires. He shot her as she was leaving. One bullet went in the far left of the windshield. The other two went through the left window and killed her. Why? It doesnt matter if she was a carpet muncher or an idiot or an aggie. She was a human.
Virtually nobody on her seems to be willing to accept this fact. She was a human being. The last 2 shots he was completely out of any harm's way and simply fired in anger as he called her a "****ing *****".
Not only that, those last two shots, endangered others, and put a vehicle completely out of control, accelerating when she slumped forward dead, which could have killed or injured others on the ground.
There are reasons there is police policy not to do things this officer did.
that argument is as full of it as the proverbial Christmas Goose. Not just wrong, but maliciously so.
The officer was in front of the car. Was struck by the car. Was hospitalized with internal bleeding. = a superhighway of legal precedent about that. A car is a deadly weapon. Any person who attacks a police officer with a deadly weapon is a threat the the community which must be stopped. What she did was no different, legally, than pulling a firearm/knife on an officer. The moment she hit the accelerator, she became a threat to the entire community.
This is as about as clear a case of justified shooting as it gets. Please quit the neverTrump nonsense. It's going to get more people killed, officers and public alike.

Leo's are trained to shoot to kill. If they fire their gun, it means their life or another's is in danger. They are trained to never aim for a leg because that would mean they shot when their life wasn't in danger. Shoot center mass, shoot to kill, or don't shoot.
They are not taught to shoot to kill. And shooting center mass does not mean shoot to kill. They are taught to stop the threat, not kill and center mass is a shooting technique to increase odds of hitting the target in high stress situations to stop a threat. They prefer the person not to die, which is why they immediately call for paramedics. LEO goal is not to kill, read their motto to serve and protect. They are trained to de-escalate. If involved in a shooting something went very wrong. If someone dies, something went horribly wrong.
This is where the masks and tactical gear come in on routine apprehensions. They de-humanize the officer and make it easier to go violent. People do not want to kill people, it is harder to hurt who you know. Put a mask on and it is no longer a person. This lady was not a sociopath killer, yet the officers escalated and dehumanized. This apprehension went terribly wrong. Yet, no one wants to admit it or fix it. Just blame the lady. Better yet, train to shoot to kill right?
Geez, you guys are playing too many online shooting games. Go to a war zone, dont even need to be combat troop. Just be there and see the carnage, Or better yet clean up after. Death is serious, not a phrase. People dont get a second life like Call of Duty. Dead is dead.
You're right but we're saying the same thing. You're using the politically correct language that sounds good. They do shoot to neutralize the threat and stop it, that is why they shoot center mass. You will likely never hear a cop say that they purposely aimed and shot a person in the leg - it'd have to be something very unusual.
And of course they want people to live, but shooting center mass is about neutralizing a person, they shoot to kill, and hope the person stops being a threat and lives. Who wouldn't prefer that? You don't like the terminology, that's fine. It's unsavory language. OK. They shoot center mass, typically multiple rounds, to neutralize. I'm good with that take.
And we all know it went wrong. We all know it's terrible. We all think it's terrible that she intentionally drove into the officer. We all think it's terrible that he felt the need to kill her.
Doesn't change that it happened, and it shouldn't be used by the press to show ICE officers as evil.
Yes, the outpouring of grief in the SicEm community over the death of the [checks notes] "fat dyke" has been deeply moving. Ditto the rush to judge her intentions on the flimsiest of evidence.
Do you blame the Capitol Police for killing Aslhlee Babbitt?
Not even the same situation. Ashley didn't drive a car into the cop,and didn't have any weapons.
Though I admit I haven't studied it. From the brief video I saw, the cop seemed to shoot the person least threatening. Seemed to be a very strange choice. So yes I blame the cop.
We certainly agree here. No way Ashley should have shot dead, she wasn't really a threat.
