You mean the woman who was driving the car?

I think we do take away the license of people shown unfit to drive, or with conditions that may cause their driving to hurt others (conditions that cause sudden loss of consciousness, confusion, etc). If the officer has PTSD from being dragged, he should not be given a gun and told to stop someone operating a car using his own body.

Not to mention, do you think we hold our law enforcement to the same standard as our civilians? Do we expect more or less restraint from them in situations like this? Are they trained to handle these situations? If so, what failed in this instance?





[flagged]


Female is a word that can refer to any species. Woman is a human female. The use of "female" is often used to dehumanize the subject, and is almost never used consistently. I am guessing you do not, off the cuff, refer to men as "males". It sounds weird as hell.

> Anyway, law enforcement is fully within their right to meet deadly force with deadly force

Do you disagree that the driver had her wheels turned away from the officer who shot her?


There was no deadly force from the driver, you either haven't watched the video or you are incredibly dishonest

The post history of parent would indicate the latter.
