From what I see in the footage(the far-away angle), she dropped someone off(presumably her child) and just parked sideways in the street for a while, blocking most of it, which isn't wise if ICE just happens to be on that same street and needs to use it, even if you don't agree with them. When approached by officers, regardless of whether they were 100% following proper procedure, most people would just turn the car off and comply, choosing to fight it in court later and win one of the many successful lawsuits other civilians have won in the past. Instead, after watching him walk around her vehicle filming, she chose to listen to her wife, who yelled "drive, baby, drive" and hit the gas. Whether she was a victim or a criminal, that was foolish because she clearly did it before he pulled his gun(obviously the conservative crowd would argue that was what made him do it, but who really knows).

For the record, I'm not defending the guy who shot her either. Even if the first shot he fired was justified, the 2nd and 3rd shots were not.

I suppose, yet again, if I(and textbooks) don't agree with your definitions of empathy and sociopath, I'm in the wrong by default, but then, I guess you're arguing "empathy" over logic, so it really shouldn't be surprising. Thank you for helping me to understand your point of view, even if you don't want to have a discussion.

I agree there are a lot of sociopaths out there, but do you know what that word means? I'm asking some questions to get more people's viewpoints on this because clearly a bunch of people don't see it the way I do, which is confusing to me. Does that reaaaally make me a sociopath?

Interesting. Do you think he knew immediately he had killed her? He seemed to call her a bitch(if it was him speaking) as she was driving off, before she hit the parked cars. Also, did the wife outside the car yell "drive, baby, drive" because she was afraid? The guy who shot her was walking around the car, but he didn't draw his gun until he got in front and she started to hit the gas. They all had clear police markings on their uniforms, but what was the correct response from her in that situation(genuine question)?

Lol are you saying you wouldn't have called her any names? Also, how do we know that was him talking? There were other officers around. IMO both parties made big mistakes. It all seems a bit contrived, but isn't that the point?
