2:10 - 2:18 : ICE officer get's dragged down the road by this driver. (((((( There's plenty of possible scenario's where things could have gone worse. Whether that would have happened or not, and whether it would've ended up worse for the driver or others, we'll never know. |
Do you realize you are victim blaming while making excuses for a cold blooded killer?
The passenger did not jump back in the car first of all. She got back in casually, after the driver let a couple cars pass, both intending to move out of the way. Renee Good was trying to de-escalate the situation by moving her car out of the way. She even said to the officer at the window, That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you before slowly attempting to drive away.
He doesn't dodge at the last second, he's already clear of the car when she starts moving forward, wheels turned away from him which he could clearly see as she was turning the wheel away from him while he walked in front of the car. Other footage already showed he did not dodge at the last second, he drew his gun while he was walking in front of the car. Something that's against protocol, he's not supposed to put himself in harms way first of all, and definitely not draw his gun without probable cause. He checked out the vehicle (I suppose that's why he walked around it), saw a dog sitting in the back seat, dog was calm, situation was calm inside the car. He saw the passenger get back in after the car backed up a bit to turn around / away.
The other officer told her to get out of the car, while the passenger said to drive away. I don't know what she understood at the time, but her mindset was to leave / to clear the road, and get out confirms that, the of the car might not have registered in those couple seconds. A normal traffic stop has officers tell you to stop the car, turn off the engine before they ask you to get out. Exactly to prevent this. Then a warning that a taser will be deployed if the driver doesn't want to get out of the car. Getting in front of the car with gun drawn is completely against protocol.
The 'officer' was wrong before, maybe suffered ptsd, didn't get the proper help nor the proper training, should not have been there at all. He and his superiors need to stand trial.
Plus after he shot her point blank, 3 times, he said that effin bitch and walked casually after the car, then paramedics were prevented from helping her. It's cold blooded murder. A judge could even add hate crime to it because of his remarks.
They had all their information, license plates, both clearly on film, there was no reason to escalate the situation further. Just let them get out, file a report later, continue your job. This was not self-defense, self-defense would be to get out of the way, not shoot the driver while the engine is running which most likely leads to the driver's leg pressing the gas where her foot was. Which is exactly what happened, as soon as he shot her the car revved up and sped off into a pole.
It's tragic people have to fear for their lives dealing with police in the states and then have people defend that with you should not talk back to 'police' because they can be trigegr happy like here.
No there was no scenario where this would have gotten worse when they had simply told them to get out of there, clear the road as they were doing. Why did they want them out of the car in the first place? What was the probable cause?
