I want to ask just this question......If you were an 18 year old burglar......would you use your vehicle to try to hit a police officer if you had been involved in any criminal activity, or would be trying to become a rabbit? I am pleased as punch that a possible burglar was caught in the alleged act, I am concerned with the idea that a fleeing vehicle can become a weapon which in and of itself allows an officer to fire a weapon into that vehicle. Any LEO understand what I am saying, and it is far too early to cast dispersions on anybody.......I simply have seen the car as a weapon once too often, where after a trial.......well......we must wait for more information.
In one business I owned we were burglarized four times in a year, and would have 14 year olds coming into the business asking to use our restroom and casing out the business. They would fire off the damn fire extinguishers and then you could see the size of the footprints.....kids.....lost computers, but worse was the dumbasz broke a hundred year old leaded glass window in the business which was irreplaceable.....I have no love loss for burglars.......but when using a firearm, and shooting a human being......I want to make sure the officer's were threatened, or felt that a member of the public was threatened before they resorted to deadly force....thats all.....I will celebrate with jonimaroni when we know that these individuals clearly threatened the officers, and were in fact involved in an active burglary........in due time we will know the facts.
