  46. 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.
