(1 post)It was Tiasa Andrews, not Shelly Frey, who hit the rent-a-clown with her purse. It was the other lady (I forget her name, or Tiasa Andrews, NOT Shelly Frey) that was driving. Why then, was Shelly Frey the one he shot? Was he aiming at the driver? Was he just firing recklessly into a vehicle with babies in it?
He was standing between the open door and the car when they started to back out of the parking space, but didn't shoot until the vehicle was "fleeing the scene" according to the early reports of this murder...before attorneys were scripting press releases.
A man, cop or not, is not in fear of his life by getting hit with a purse. A woman, who is NOT operating a vehicle (I.e., not behind the wheel,) intrinsically can not be at that instant threatening someone's life by running over them!
There's a reason 99% of retailers have policies not to pursue shoplifters. It's because they are held liable for for any assault or damage or* injury against the alleged. That means its their fault for using excessive force.
Shelly Frey didn't commit any alleged felonies. If there's anyone that thinks we should be able to murder folks for shoplifting, maybe they would be better suited by joining up with Isis.
**B.t.w., Im a God fearing, gun carrying American. If I would have shot and killed somebody pulling out of my driveway for stealing some of my baby's diapers is be in jail for a long, long time...and rightfully so.
