I have no sympathy for the idiot black woman, but to fire multiple shots at a van full of children driving away on a public roadway with traffic is simply inexcusable.
This isn't a roadblock in Iraq, and US police need to stop acting like an occupying army.
Agreed. I don't know what excuse the cop is going to come up with, but here's my guess as to what really happened.
When the driver sped away, the cop felt disrespected and a bit humiliated. The only appropriate response was to shoot at the car, and perhaps hit the driver, or a child, in the back of the head. That will teach the survivors a little respect!
Was it really worth the escalation for going, what, 16 mph over the limit? Scaring the kids to the point that they got out of car to protect their mother? Busting out windows and shooting at the vehicle? I agree the driver was an idiot. She should have just taken the ticket and she had a part in the escalation.
