If you're trying to flee you don't point your car at a man with a gun and go towards him. If she was backing up why didn't she just keep going that way? And if she was backing up why should he have felt threatened if he was in front of her car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dogcows 1,394 Posted yesterday at 04:45 AM 12 minutes ago, TimHauck said: Was it confirmed how long it took to render first aid? Multiple witnesses reported a bystander that identified themself as a doctor was not permitted to help and in the main bystander video law enforcement appears to take their time in checking on her. It also appears that they may have hurried the shooter away from the scene which isn’t a good look. Despite liar Noem claiming he got hurt, you can see him walking away from her car very fast in the video. Based on his level of demonstrated competence, I’m guessing his injury was stepping on his own d!k. NBC News said that a nearby doctor was refused access and that it was over 15 minutes before an ambulance arrived. And they blocked the ambulance from getting to the victim so her body had to be carried to the ambulance. Of those 3 claims, the 2 latter seem unquestioned. As for the first, there was a person recorded asking to help; I don’t know if she was a doctor or not; and haven’t seen that confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HTH The correct response to a driver who is just trying to nudge their vehicle to freedom in a terrifying situation is to not pump iron into the driver. There is no justification for this action, but MAGAs defending it is a good thing for The Blue Wave this year. Go on and make a traffic stop a murder.

He shot her because he was in reasonable fear of significant bodily injury. And quit characterizing this as an.ordinary traffic stop.
