If you floor it and run into a cop just because they walk in front of your car, you deserve to get shot because the cop would be defending themselves.
If dude’s aiming a gun at my face cause of some groceries?? He deserves what he gets.
Maybe try de-escalating instead of over-escalating. In NO situation should a suspected shoplifting end in a murder.
If she tried to run, guess what? They can literally just track her down and move to arrest when lives aren’t in danger.
He unnecessarily and intentionally put himself in harm’s way, in an intense situation with a terrified suspect. He knew what he was doing.
Fuck off with your tyrant apologia bullshit.
You're a violent moron.
Holy fucking irony.
Where have I advocated violence or said something moronic?
“ you deserve to get shot”
Are those not your words?
Now you shouldn't be using his own words against him. That just makes him look like an idiot.
If someone tries to run someone over on order to get away with stealing, they deserve to get shot. I'm not advocating violence.
It isn't to get away with shoplifting. It's to avoid being executed without even a trial over shoplifting. They're going to try to kill you no matter what you do in that scenario; might as well try to get out with your life.
Let me put in a scenario you might understand. Mobsters are regularly jumping in front of cars, shooting the person driving, and then stealing the car. A mobster jumps in front of your car and points a gun at your head. What do you do?
