Maybe you could kick up the dust of deceit a bit more.

The only deceit I see on this thread are your wildly oversimplified presumptive condemnations.

Repeatedly stated by the officer shooter and his partners, “He was being dragged by the vehicle and had to fire his weapon."

Yet again, please see my posts #235 and #248 for a detailed explanation of why your application of this word to this situation is potentially false.

How does that work when the officer was standing when the suspect was shot to death?

Again, Officer Tensing would have had to make the decision to shoot before he was pulled off of his feet and his body was pulled along the ground since any aimed fire would have been impossible at that point. Officer Tensing could then have been run over by the rear tire or abraded to death by the road. Having his hand hypothetically grabbed by the driver of a car in gear with its engine on with the driver showing a clear intent to illegally drive away meets my definition of "drag" regardless of the speed of forward movement.

You have your own perception of what is known and the available evidence. And I must say your perception of this is very creative.☺

That's an amazing story btw.

So before the officer was pulled off his feet and pulled or drug to death under the vehicle and killed, he wisely shot first before that could happen?

I want to make sure I have this right.☺
