All the tells were there, and the dude tried to escape. It's pretty cut and dry that if you're a drunk runaway driver, that's going to have a bloody end. If anything this was just another case of suicide by cop. He drew his weapon and they brought a potential monster down. Would you rather let him go or have to chase him down? Because the only other option was what this cop's instincts told him.

Id rather have let him go or chase him down than that he be murdered for his potential future crimes of which there is no proof he was actually going to commit them, we are not living in the movie Minority Report, hth.

The guy was drunk as hell. That's why he was pulled over in the first place.

I'm not a pro-cop guy but my job had me working with them a lot and once you understand how their job is from hour to hour you understand how these things happen. I can almost guarantee you that cop saw a video in training or knows someone who got shot at in that kind of a situation before. Rule number one for the police is "go home" and if you get pulled over and keep lurching around in your seat and sticking your hands out of view and acting like you can't focus on questions you're asked it's a little like running across a highway without looking to see if there's traffic first.

i don't like how the number one rule for the police is "go home", because the police mythology is that they are self-sacfricing and they are supposed to put the safety of others first. with so many war veterans who had their most emotionally impactful training and experience fighting an insurgency in an occupied country, they are wired to see the people they are policing as enemy combatants who may kill them at any moment. they learn to see them as subhuman and this leads to a lot of brutality.

still, there are a lot of really great honest police officers who are trying to do the job well, so anyone criticizing the police should honestly ask themselves how they would handle the situation better because most of the time (except in obviousness of brutality) they would do no better and likely get themselves or someone else killed.

i would not shoot a citizen i am paid to protect in the face with my gun for being handsey or for driving his car. thats how i would handle the situation differently and thats why i dont mind criticising this particular police officer.

firstly, drunk driving is not and should not be an executable offence and as such a murder charge on the cop is right

secondly, proof that the guy was drunk please? im hearing people vaguely mention that there may or may not have been a beverage container of some kind... even if drunk driving were a crime punished with death id kinda hope it takes more than this before judgement is handed down

is it murder if a police officer rams a suspect's car during a chase and it causes the suspect to crash and die?

The potential future crime of drunk driving? The guy was drunk. Letting him go would've been letting a drunk driver back on the road. Not stopping him would have meant chasing a drunk driver. These are the two options you've got. Do you want to enable drunk drivers or take them off the streets?

if that person ran over and killed a child just down the road, how would you feel about your own role in that?

could you handle meeting the parents or family of someone who was killed by a fleeing suspect and them wanting to know if you did everything you could?

you said yourself glad he was shot for being a 'potential monster'. there was no proof he was going to harm someone and there was no proof, other than perhaps a beverage container, that he was drunk. i want to take drunk drivers off the streets but not by lethal gunshot because i am not a oval office.

Well it would be really nice if mythology lined up with reality but the image of self-sacrificing bodyguards that some people have of the police for some weird reason is really distant from the blue collar workaday don't want to die on the job guys that are actually out there grinding out their shifts until they can get fullpay on their pension. They aren't "wired to see the people they are policing as enemy combatants" they're just people. Sometimes they show up on the job and someone got shot recently or they're on edge in general. The guy in the car would have never behaved like he did if, say, he was stopped at a light and a random angry redneck ran up to his window with a pistol on his hip, or maybe he got stuck up by some guy in a bad part of town. It's wise to be on cats feet around armed men, it doesn't matter if they're in a uniform or not.

I'm not saying this particular instance is justified or not (it's somewhere between those two things) but it's inevitable. It's part of the job.

In short I agree and people who just want to yell about BWAA COPS should keep it to Reddit or some other echo chamber.

Not to nothing. To something. You can argue about whether or not it was enough, but that wasn't an average, calm, low-probability-of-violence kind of stop. That was in fact exactly the kind of stop where someone does pull a gun.

as opposed to meeting the parents or family of the guy you murdered in cold blood for being a bit twitchy? as if youre trying to justify murdering someone for something they possibly might do.

according to cops and their apologists EVERY stop is one where a gun gets pulled

ironically its the cops doing the pulling

and then shooting in the head of unarmed, nonthreat citizens
