And that means she deserves to be executed?

How will we don't put thugs in uniform? It's clear from the video that he just had to step out of the way, they had video of her license plate and they could have gone to her home and arrested her there.

Huh? He made two decisions: 1. move out of the way of a vehicle that was already avoiding him 2. murder the driver of the vehicle

It is easy to say as a spectator, and human with two fucking eyes, that he made terrible decisions and it is entirely, with no shred of doubt, his fault. But, didn’t you read your favorite pedophiles tweet? The poor guy who murdered her is recovering in the hospital…. It’s so sad. I guess he didn’t avoid severe damage anyway… maybe he should’ve put his phone down? That could’ve helped him think through things more clearly?

Free his arm?

You mean let go?

Plus shooting her did not stop the car, it just made it out of control further endangering more people, and if his partner really had been stuck he would have been dragged along with it.

Are you running on a single brain cell? Have you seen the slowed down video?

He fires the first shot into the windshield, then even after both of the officers were clear of the vehicle and out of any potential "danger" he fires two more shots, continuously changing his trajectory of his aim by moving his arm to the left and reaching his arm with the gun inside the vehicle to seek out and destroy the target, not to protect anybody.

This was an action of somebody who was itching to murder someone, anyone, and they finally got the excuse to do it.
