Let me get out there and get her out, Malone calls out to the other officers, according to the GBI audio transcripts.
Hold on, hold on, one unknown officer responds.
If she moves the car, Im going to shoot her, Simpson says.
Seconds later, Sasser and Simpson unleash a volley of gunfire into the face of Caroline Small.
After the shooting, Sasser and Simpson can be heard discussing their kill.
Where did you hit her? Simpson asks, according to a GBI transcript.
I hit her right in the face, Sasser says.
I watched the bridge of her nose I pulled the trigger and I watched it hit her at the same time I think I fired, Simpson says.
When an EMT showed up to the scene, Simpson waved him off, trusting that his stellar marksmanship had done the job, and she was dead. However, Small was holding on for dear life, and those crucial moments could have been the difference between life and death. Small would never regain consciousness, but she didnt succumb to her injuries until a week after the shooting.

Even for those cases where police officers can't avoid shooting someone, one would hope they would be sad that it came to that. No one should be happy about killing someone.

With the special treatment given to the Glynn County police by the other law enforcement agency investigating them, they were able to successfully convince a grand jury that they feared for their lives. Neither of the officers faced any discipline and both were returned to full duty.
The whole fucking system is disgusting. Even with a "good" cop there

It's going to get worse. There's just no accountability and the system will continue to protect and support these criminal cops.
