I mean, it on its face is a fair argument: That these days, we like to pretend bad people don't also do good things (no matter their political leaning). It is also fair to say, we should acknowledge these things.
It would also be fair to say something pointing out that, not everyone in Germany shared the beliefs of the party. So in that sense not all of them may have been evil (perhaps even most of them).
BUT! Saying "I completely support them" is insane. As is, "I love an immoral individual, especially" (which may be an unfair characterization, if he meant in the "god loves all life" sense of "love"). It also, does not mean one good thing necessarily outweighs a bad thing. But one needs to look at history and individuals as a whole, because there is ALWAYS good and bad. Even when the good is a tiny thing.
I don't know if it is mental illness, incompetence, uncaring/insensitive/thoughtless wording, drugs, temporary stress, who knows?🤷♀
*Apparently he said he was on some sort of medication?
If it is true and he is off it that would certainly lend credence to the assertion of mental illness.

Look, no matter where you land this was a tragedy, fluke no, but unfortunate at every angle.
From this part of the world, every time we see an American cop pull out a gun immediately, we aren't surprised "mr. cowboy" shoots someone (that is the common term). Now, by the laws of the state it seems lawful and may not have even been intentional.
But here, you don't pull out a gun for shoplifting, you don't do assault with a deadly weapon to get someone out of the car, you talk to people. You maybe smash a window and drag them out if they are excessively beligerant. The police would have first blocked her departure with a squad car, before the confrontation. Things are just handled very differently start to finish.
We have very few police shootings and even fewer police deaths. There's a time and a place, grab the plate, follow her home, wait for her to return and have handcuffs waiting outside the store whatever the protocol may be.
When you waggle a gun in someone's face they are likely to be shot, not just if they don't comply.
Now, again, assuming she had stolen something she shouldn't have tried to drive through the officer. But this anti-police rhetoric is creating these situations. People get told not to cooperate, and I can barely blame them for wanting to run when they think all cops are racist murderers. But If the cop fell wrong he could have died been crippled, who knows. So he has a right to self defense. Could he have gotten out of the way, yes. But the law of the land is the only authority in a civilized society.
