Ilovethebomb,

This is the first reasonable response to this I’ve seen. They have a vehicle, block the car in with it perhaps?

Not justifying the driver’s actions in any way, but it did seem strange to me.

Ilovethebomb,

No, her crime was trying to run someone over. Seriously?

Ilovethebomb,

Of course it could have been avoided, she had multiple opportunity for it to end differently.

But don’t bother trying to tell anyone else that.

Ilovethebomb,

That was foolish, certainly, but it doesn’t in any way justify trying to run someone over.

Ilovethebomb,

You can definitely kill someone by slowly driving over them

Ilovethebomb,

The cop shouldn’t have stood in front of the car.

That’s not an excuse to run someone over.

Ilovethebomb,

Man, there’s some cooked people in here.

You could murder an officer in cold blood and they’d find a way to justify it.

Ilovethebomb,

She got shot over driving at a police officer standing in front of her car. The fact that it escalated to that is a pretty bizarre series of events though.

Ilovethebomb,

she was busy assaulting the armed officers with her presence.

And also her vehicle.

Ilovethebomb,

Having someone trying to run you over isn’t “in cold blood”

Good grief.

Ilovethebomb,

You’re not wrong, but it’s still dishonest to say she was “shot for shoplifting”.

Ilovethebomb,

That is a valid point.

Ilovethebomb,

It’s a stupid idea with any police force, although you’re a lot less likely to get shot in almost any other country.

Ilovethebomb,

Standing in front of the car wasn’t a smart thing to do, I agree with you there. “Let her go and find her later” isn’t really how it works though.

Ilovethebomb,

Nah, you don’t get to just drive away from the police anywhere, sorry. Most would use less lethal means to stop her, but I don’t think any competent force would just let her leave.

Ilovethebomb,

Yeah, that’s not how it works.

Ilovethebomb,

She didn’t steal anything.

You have no way of knowing that.

Ilovethebomb,

Almost anyone in the US will shoot you if threatened though.

Ilovethebomb,

Source?

Ilovethebomb,

I’m not defending this so much as pointing out the absolute nonsense some people in this thread are spewing.

Ilovethebomb,

It would be ideal if she didn’t try and kill him in the first place though.

Ilovethebomb,

Possibly, but it doesn’t change the fact she behaved poorly, to put it mildly.

People here are making out like it is a cold blooded execution.

Ilovethebomb,

This doesn’t excuse her behavior. But the cops are NOT justified either.

You’re far more level headed than most of the commenters here. Yeah, the police could definitely have handled this better as well.

Ilovethebomb,

Exactly, saying things like she was “murdered in cold blood” doesn’t help anyone, because you’re that far off the deep end nobody outside of your echo chamber will take you seriously.

There have been a few people reply to me saying that, despite what happened, the police could and should have done something different. And they’re probably right, I don’t know how we got from shoplifting to this, but there were probably opportunities to defuse the situation.

But calling her innocent is simply untrue.

Ilovethebomb,

I doubt you could clean that up in 48 hours.
