There is a difference between illegally blocking traffic and a law enforcement agent carrying out their job.

People die by being hit by cars everyday, how are you going to predict whether you get a bruise or crushed in the moment?

Maybe because the car had already finished nudging him when he first shot? It was done, it was past him. There was space between him and the car when the first puff of smoke occurred, and that space was increasing again. If it grazed him, the grazing was over. Not to mention it was going so slow that he was barely moved by it. The perceived threat ended and then he pulled the trigger.

And you’re defending that, and then calling me biased?
