Well damn! In the 90s, cops used to do a skin check before shooting.
Now tdgaf
The officer must've felt his life was threatened as she was driving away. That's why he had to shoot.
He felt so angry he might explode, every order she ignored increased his blood pressure dangerously
She was coming straight at him!
Someone who did nothing wrong is dead. A bunch of other people who did nothing wrong are gonna pay out a massive lawsuit. The only person in this entire scenario who did anything wrong is going to get a long paid vacation for it.
Later that same day, another officer from the Las Cruces Police Department would turn himself in on a voluntary manslaughter charge in the August 2022 fatal shooting of a Black man who had left a gas station without paying for a beer
That's right, on the very day one officer turned himself in for murder another officer from that same PD murdered this woman.
There is no law in America. Death squads wander the streets doing violence randomly and with impunity. No one is ever safe from being shot by the police.
