A silly, worthless argument. FACT:
- She had been actively following, harassing and provoking federal officers in a threatening way.
- She tried to flee an arrest nearly running over one of the officers.
- Her girlfriend was standing right there yelling for her to split.
- The officer in front of her likely HEARD her engine rev, HEARD and SAW her tire spin, then her vehicle lunged right at him nearly running him over. He had to jump out of the way just to avoid serious injury.
DECISION TIME: While jumping back and nearly getting knocked over, at that instant, the officer decided his life was in danger and pulled his service pistol in self-defense according to official practice. It is totally immaterial what she intended or not or where her tires ended up being cut to as the shot was fired, the brain does not work at the speed of an electronic circuit and the entire event from start to finish only took a second.
Bottom line: you don't give police cause to think you are a threat to their life (or anyone else's), if you don't want to get shot. Her own girlfriend has admitted responsibility saying that it was her that enticed and sent the Good lady out to pick a fight with federal agents.
IMO, the reason why this happened is because police have already long been far too tolerant of obnoxious, threatening behavior to the point that folks have lost sight of the fact that these are ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS with a license to shoot you, out dealing with criminals in a dangerous situation already enduring a 3000% increase in threatening vehicular behavior.
There, now I've explained this at least HALF A DOZEN TIMES now. Hope it finally sinks in. Don't **** around with armed agents and law officials then act surprised when it ultimately leads you to a bad outcome.
