If she hit the cop and killed him, she'd go to jail (rightfully) for murder. Because of course, you have no right to not be arrested/detained. And I don't think anyone thinks you should have that right. If the lady shot was instead some less sympathetic to liberal sensibilities, people would immediately change their mind
In fact, we can look at January 6 and think of the lady who immediately (and also rightfully) got shot. Different target, but she was a MAGA, so CE's response was (fuck around/find out).
If a conservative ran over an aggressive-sounding protester in front of their car, nobody would (rightfully) believe their "I was so scared"
Just be aware of your inherent bias. Even if the cops did not act optimally, the fault lies in the person who a. committed the crime b. made a reckless and dangerous action, and really that's the end of it. There's nothing really much more to discuss.
If the cops are lying, which of course, is very possible, sure, we have a different discussion, but there seem to be several different arguments going on, and one seems to be the police shouldn't have the right to stop somebody if that person might hurt them to escape, because if so, then they might have to use deadly force. This is absolutely silly.
This, CE, is what common sense looks like.
Take notes. Maybe screen shot it.

Like 90% of CE topics are the same way lol. CE is edgy/contrarian as f*** and will do anything to troll the TC/OP. -Touch
