WTF? Are you really as dense as you seem to be? Why on earth would a teenage girl ever need to use a car as a weapon, unless of course they were driving a stolen vehicle, panicked that they may get caught and with lack of experience behind her, make a foolish choice to run a police officer over in order to getaway.According to a chick riding around in a stolen car that was friends with the dead chick.
Not sure if serious.......
I agree with the witness that she wasn't trying to run over the police and do not believe a bright-looking young girl would. Is it possible? Anything is possible.
If she's so bright what is she doing driving around in a stolen car?
With intelligence like that she may well be dumb enough to try and run over a cop.
Looking bright is not necessarily the same as being bright, of course.
Nevertheless, how many cops do we have shooting people with scanty reasoning, and how many teenage girls do we have running over people? And knowing cops, the odds are greater the witness is telling the truth the cop shot her, making her lose control and hit the cop, than her trying to run them down.
That's an important point, I think, right there. And I don't mean teenage girls getting into car accidents, I mean teenage girls using cars as weapons. We have dozens of examples of the times cops were caught engaging in brutal behavior, do we have anywhere near a comparable number of teen girls intentionally trying to mow people down?
It was a comparison, but you have reduced it to something else.
We don't know that she ran. There is no way to prove she ran. It is more likely, because as you say her lack of experience driving, she did not know exactly what to do and wanted to pull up a little and to the side. Police have stopped dangerous criminals for auto burglary or worse a million times but we almost never see people trying to run them over. The number of questionable police shootings is still far more common than people trying to run them over. And you cannot ignore that these were just kids having fun.
Your simple-minded thinking does not hold water.
