My question was about the drivers potential reaction in reference to the passengers actions. Nice try Mach, but no, I'm not playing this game. |
Actually is not a nice try, I just do not want to assume your position when it appears you are defending the situation. I can clearly state that I absolutely believe that this incident did not require lethal force as my position on the subject is pretty clear. As has been stated multiple times, did those actions require lethal force, you either believe it does or you do not, there really isn't any gray area here.
Just reading multiple accounts from actual police officers, a good deal of them say the Ice officer did not follow protocol for the situation. There are reason why those protocols are put in place because of the chance of needless deaths. Just the officer pulling out his gun for an incident that did not require it escalated it to 100. Not sure if you have ever had someone pull a gun out on you but not everyone act the same in those situations but as we see in America that is the standard practice for some officers. When face with any situation, they pull out their gun to enforce compliance.
While you may believe that my statement means I condemn you or seek to condemn you because you believe lethal force was required that isn't the case. My position is that instead of accepting that lethal force was used that we always seek for better training and protocols that would make sure lethal force isn't needed for situations like this where there definitely isn't any indication that the situation require killing someone. In America it seems the mindset is that every situation with the police is ok if they kill someone but its also why we have standard protocols which should be followed so that situations of this type do not happen.
