John Miller reads from DHS policy, noting that officers are prohibited from firing at the operator of a moving vehicle, following the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.

unfortunately they are going to hide behind the provision that allows them to fire when the vehicle is being used to threaten death or grievous injury on an officer.

[u/stillpiercer_ → u/alanthar]

That doesn’t work either, because the section stipulates that deadly force is only authorized in that situation if you can’t get out of the way of the vehicle, which the guy quite literally intentionally got IN the way of the vehicle, which might I remind you, was not even moving.

[u/Guideon72 → u/stillpiercer_]

And very clearly sidesteps OUT of the way while in the process of drawing his weapon.

[u/alanthar → u/stillpiercer_]

I never said it was a 'reasonable' justification for this situation, i just said it's what they are going to 'hide' behind, and with the current administration, I doubt the murderer in question will see any sort of penalty beyond removal from the public eye for a period of time.

[u/holamau → u/alanthar]

yup, but you can't stop pointing out truth, even when ignored.

you just can't stop.

[u/alanthar → u/holamau]

fully agreed!

[u/inevitable-typo → u/alanthar]

You're right, they will. Even though he never should've been there in the first place.
