Well atleast we are getting closer,  you seem to agree with potentially jail time.  Making people who disobey officers not innocent like some people are trying to make of her.  Like I said atleast once already I don't agree with the killing and a investigation has to happen but she did not listen I feel sorry for her after the POV because it seems it is her wife that pushed her to drive away. 

She should not have driven away and it's quite possible that if she were alive that she would get in trouble in the courts. But instead she was shot and killed. And so I'm much more concerned about the actions of the policeman in this case, then how this woman could have avoided this confrontation. 

My sons are half black and when they get older my wife or I will likely have to have a discussion with them about how to deal with police. And if they don't heed these warnings and are someday shot and killed because they didn't have their hands on the steering wheel the entire time or the police thought they were reaching for something I will lament that they didn't listen to my advice but will still fully blame the policeman that shot them. That is how I view this as well. The woman driving away is lamentable in that she did not act perfectly around this policeman but that in no way justifies what was done. 

Disheartening to even believe that your children need to grow up with that even being an issue.
The USA is not the land of the just, free and shining democratic beacon of morality that it once was or pretended to be.
