State Cop Shoots at Minivan Full of Kids

55. Of course I'm guessing.

That's because I don't know. The cop didn't know either. Running from the police in a vehicle is felony evasion. She endangered herself, her kids, and the public by running from the police no matter the reason. Doing stupid shit like that in a thirty five hundred pound projectile is against the law and should be. The cops are there to enforce the law. She broke it. Plain and simple.

You say she was scared. What was she afraid of? Getting a ticket? It happens every day. You pay the fine and go about your business. Her response was outrageous and uncalled for.

The cops figure they have a right to kill anyone that does not obey them.

Now who's guessing? You're accusing the cops of an unwarranted sense of entitlement, yet the woman driving the car thought she could just drive away after she got pulled over.

Should the other cop have shot at the fleeing vehicle? Like I said, he fucked up. Should the responding officers have controlled the situation better? Of course. Will any of them suffer any real consequences for their mistakes? Not likely.

Don't go assuming every cop wants to kill people with impunity. They don't.
