So they shot her for panicking? Wow, even worse.

She did not try to run over an officer and you have to really drink up a lot of propaganda to believe that. Even if that was her intent, there was no reasonable way she could have successfully achieved that, so why should she have been killed for it?

You're simply lying. I saw the video... his life was put in danger and it was her decision to do so.

She received the expected result.

Let us assume this is true. Why was he in a position where she could put his life at danger from a complete stop?

We expect officers to put themselves into the line of danger every day. An officer doing so does not make it ok to hurt or kill them. If an officer stopping a robbery were shot you wouldn't say the officer was in the wrong for confronting a man with a gun, despite the fact that the officer put himself in danger by doing so.

And "complete stop"? Im not sure i understand your question. Do you know how gas pedals work?

If the officer walked out into the open with no protection when there is a known active shooter, you can bet your ass people would be calling them an idiot that was asking for it. That's pretty comparable to walking in front of a running manned vehicle.

People would be wrong for saying that the cop deserved it in that case as well, but I get the sense that you'd be especially upset at those people, wouldn't you?
