I see nothing wrong with trying to get a license plate number. We shouldn't have to expect to be shot, that's unreasonable. She did nothing wrong. In fact, she did what everyone should do...by the book.

It kind of goes without saying then, don't it? By power of assumption.

It is really sad that some would use this tragedy as a way to further their political agenda.

I understand whom she works for and I understand she was not on duty. As I said, I am not trying to blame the victim (or her mother). My actions would not have been the same with a child in the car, that is all. Have brought the article to LEO since my original post and they have agreed that they would have left family out and not pursued.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the girl who was senselessly killed.

It has bearing if the defense is made aware that this thread exists.

The last time I checked, a hit and run was not the act of a law abiding citizen.

Neither is the proper reaction following the person and shooting them in the head.
