You're a piece of [BLEEP].

It's apparent you have no real intent to debate in good faith. I'm confident you only want to be a contrarian. You can disagree with whether or not it should be legal, but it absolutely is by-the-book legal. The officer reacted and shot in just over a second. Google says it usually takes .25 - .3 seconds to react. That leaves just about .75 seconds for the officer to fall into the vehicle, remove his weapon, and shoot. What exactly do you think he was thinking?

I promise you, I will never sync up all the available video, slow it down, and break down the reaction times.  I won't even watch most of them. Call that bad faith if you want.

I just think when bullets hit a fleeing suspect in the back and also hit a car with bystanders in it, there's no room to debate that one of two things happened: either the cop acted outside of the law, or the law needs to be changed. Which one of those things is true depends on in-depth study of the video, and I leave that to others. You acknowledge the second possibility, that the law needs to change, and that is to your credit.
But each of us should also have our minds open about the possibility that these officers broke laws already on the books, because, now there's going to be a jury trial about it.

He loves it when you say that.
