[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP here, totally horrified and disgusted by this incident: however, I will not be joining the rioters and those who seeking vigilante justice.  The guy likely has a defense since[b] the driver was turning the steering wheel[/b] as her wife shouted “drive baby drive!”

How was he to know if her intent was to flee or  cause harm and mow him down? He was faced with a split second decision. [/quote]

She was turning the steering wheel AWAY from him.

I wasn’t there, but the visibility through most windshields is not great especially in the winter with road salt and grime. What was he supposed to be watching? Her turning the wheel? The tires themselves? The wife exiting the vehicle , yelling and acting unpredictably?  All simultaneously? Yeah, right.

A horrible and volatile situation. I hope that there will be scene reconstructions done to clarify the situation. Until then, I can’t be judge and jury (and neither should all the hysterical Tik tokkers and redditors.)

The video from his body cam shows exactly what he saw and it was all of the above...her hands, the wheel turning away, and so on. When there is so much video footage, you don't really need scene reconstruction because everyone can see exactly what happened.[/quote]

The video can only show so much. Other important factors are the speed the car was moving and how fast she was accelerating. Sounds like she floored the accelerator and that is why more analysis needs to be done.

The Honda pilot has an Event Data Recorder 
Unless she had the top trim line. [/quote]

She was pulling out of a parking spot. I mean he was able to unholster his weapon, aim, and get off accurate head shots.[/quote]

Drawing from a holster and opening fire takes less than two seconds for a trained LEO on high alert for threats.  Being slow on the draw can mean the difference between living or not when you're a LEO, and training reflects that.  [/quote]

Your point? [/quote]
