Her intent, her actions and their likely consequences, the actual results by grace and circumstance, and how her actions were reasonably perceived by the people she threatened- are all different things.
She could have intended to 'just' flee from officers, a crime, and in doing so have created the threat to bystanders.
By hitting the gas while still aimed at an officer, she would have likely run right over him
Her getting snagged on ice with no traction and spinning out, may well have saved the officer from death or serious injury
And whether she would have struck him full on or not, the fact she was accelerating while pointed at him was already the moment at which he had every reason to treat it as a deadly threat and justification to neutralize her.

We've got wacko arsonists like Frey who immediately dismiss any claim of self defense as 'pure bullshit' and pour flame on the fires. We've got reactionaries like Noem immediately claiming she weaponized her vehicle and tried to run down the officer. But the mostly likely scenario from the evidence once we've seen it, is that she was attempting to flee the scene and callously put lives at risk and nearly ran over people in the process, a reckless disregard for life from a fleeing felon. She woke up that day having decided to go out and commit crimes and attack officers, the officers woke up that day deciding to enforce the law and do their jobs.

More like he gets a medal for he's heroism for shooting and killing a young woman.

Someone certainly created a threat to bystandards and it wasn't the driver. A bullet into a drivers head does tend to make them lose control though. It's almost like a situation was made significantly more dangerous. Sounds like pretty poor training to me. Or maybe ignoring training and just wanted to shoot someone.

Situation didn't seem overly dangerous to be honest to what I'd think most cops see routinely until our hero decided to fire off some rounds leaving a totally out of control vehicle. Thank God she was turning already though so our hero didn't take a serious bump.

MMMMMYESSSSSS, ALL IS GOING TO PLAN MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH

That's not right either. I don't think he was in any real danger, so shooting her was wrong. That said, fleeing law enforcement in a vehicle inherently creates a threat to bystanders. If they had done what they should have done, which is to get in their cars and chase her down, that's now several cars driving unsafely.

She did a very stupid thing. So did he. I don't get why anyone would feel the need to defend either of these shitty people--except insofar as to say she should be in a jail cell rather than a grave.

I used to think the same...Then I saw how Democrats ignored the fact Biden is so brain dead, And realized it not just Republicans that are brainwashed occult like.. But everyone of us belong to a occult or brainwashed in some way... 1 party the billionaire party... cheers

Except it was the driver. She pointed her vehicle at someone and accelerated, on top of the myriad other driving offenses like blocking traffic sideways on a road and both reversing and driving forwards in a turn without checking her blind spots or waiting for pedestrians to clear. She directly threatened to run someone down on top of a half dozen other lesser infractions.

Cult*

Occult is a totally different thing, like magic and summoning monsters from the abyss.

These liberal lefties are getting more retarded by the day. Actually giving this word it’s usable definition back

I don't think she even had any idea what was going on.
