[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She literally said ‘I am not mad at you’ seconds before he blew her head off. How does that show she is ‘unhinged’[/quote]

She said it in a very snide tone.  But honestly, I think her wife is the once who escalated it and holds most of the responsibility.  How stupid can you be to block in law enforcement and then belittle and insult them?[/quote]

So is the moral here that we can kill people who approach us with a snide tone? Trump is snide all the time. Vance is too. In fact, this entire admin is snide. So, it seems logical that snideness is more than acceptable in the US. [/quote]

JFC how thick can you be? Of course it doesn't give permission to kill someone.  The officer made a mistake, one that he should receive some kind of reprimendation for.  The point that some of us posters are making is that it was an understandable mistake given that,six months earlier he was hospitalized for being dragged by another driver, dealing with someone who was intentionally blocking him in (extremely hostile and agressive behavior) and being antagonized and belittled by the wife (who seemed to be part of the incident) and likely the victim herself.  When the victim left she did so recklessly, coming within inches of hitting him (I don't think she was intentionally trying to hit him, but I think she was taking off in a huff)

All of these circumstances together led him to make a split second decision to shoot.  The wrong decision, a decision that will at a minimum cost him his job, but given the situation not hard to see how such a mistake happened.  These people are in a job where emotions are high, safety is always a concern, and if they make a mistake it could lead to tragedy.  It's certainly not a job I could do, because honestly [b]I don't know if I would have been able to keep from backhanding that b**** wife for talking to me like that[/b].  But I know that I am not cut out for such a job and sympathize greatly with officers who have to deal with a$$holes who deliberately try to heckle and insult them.

NP. No, PP. It is not a "mistake." It is murder. If he can't keep from reacting like that, then he never should have been allowed to do this job. Not only was he allowed, he was probably encouraged. Kristi Noem should be indicted for murder, too.

And you are right that you should absolutely not be allowed to be a LEO. I sincerely hope you do not own a gun.

It’s not murder because it's understandable that within that split second of almost being hit he would have thought that it was doing so intentionally 
Keep in mind this is a woman who shortly before was using her car to block the officers in. An incredibly brazen and hostile act. Not something “normal” protestors do.

You need to look at Dean Withers instagram account. He just posted a slowed down analysis showing his feet and there was ZERO danger. In fact, when he first shoots, he is standing on the ball of his foot toward the car and the wheel is completely turned away from him. The second two shots were a point blank range on the side of the vehicle. Honestly a jury could take one look at how he broke down the footage and convict him. There is zero reasonable doubt. [/quote]

Exactly this. This case is really like a road rage resulting shooting death. He was very angry before the car was put in motion. He had prepared to shoot before the gear was shifted to D.[/quote]
