Cop Drives Right at Suspect, Runs Him Over in Disturbing Dash Cam Video

95. So what?

Shooting in the air, while stupid has almost no chance of hitting someone unless your in some crazy dense populated area. The odds of him hitting anyone like that was 1 in a million. You don’t murder people for 1 in a million odds.

As for the threat he MIGHT had presented to cops... they get paid to put their lives on the line, they signed up knowing exactly that's what they are expected to do. Not terminate any potential threat with extreme malice before determining there was an alternate line of action.

We will never know now if they had simply pulled up and demanded he drop his weapon if he would have or if they would have had to shoot him. Shoot (or crush) first, then ask questions later in cases like this where there was no obvious and immediate threat is a HORRIBLE policy. And no, walking down the street isn't a threat - its very legal in lots of states. Shooting randomly in the air isn't the same as shooting at someone. Have some proportionality.
