I hope the deputy wasn't injured. One less criminal in the world.
Hopefully the deceased criminal's accomplices are charged with felony murder. They committed multiple crimes that resulted in her death. First, the theft. Second, failure to stop when directed to do so by a LE officer. Third, feloneous escape (I believe is the charge). 4th, either attempted murder or assault with a deadly weapon for trying to run over the cop. They created the situation in which their fellow criminal was killed...hopefully they do the time for it.
Sorry, I won't shed a tear for her.. She made her bed.. If she hadn't put herself and her children in harms way, nobody would be going to her funeral... She created the entire situation..
I think the issue is law enforcement who are supposed to protect everyone - even if they're in a car with shoplifters - from grave harm. The officer had a duty to protect the two innocent children first.
There has to be some expectation that they use better sense than the criminal they're trying to apprehend.
Otherwise, we're just in for a free for all where anything goes on both sides.
I agree with the bolded. I do think a big part of it was the reaction of being caught between a moving vehicle and the door, and since she had already hit him with her purse in the store when he tried to apprehend her at first, he knew she wasn't going to give up. I'm just saying she did take on that risk that she could run into a cop with a trigger finger when she chose to commit a crime.
I am not happy with the fact that someone is firing a gun with kids in the car (if he noticed them). I do feel bad for the kids...partly. Their future with such a mother wasn't all that bright, though.
I'm constantly amazed at how all the supposed freedom loving conservatives on this board go into paroxysms of delight over someone being summarily executed at the hands of a government employee without benefit of due process.
Amazed.
