>Fired into the vehicle he was driving

Is this the video I saw where they had pulled him over, he refused to show ID, and then drove off pushing/pulling the officer for a second?

That doesn’t mean he should be shot - but if this is the same case I’m thinking, I wouldn’t count someone with a vehicle as unarmed. It is very much is armed, ask Nice where a single rental truck killed more people than any mass shooting in the USA ever.

you wouldn't have seen a video its not been released yet.

Seems like a different event. Wonder why they aren’t releasing it?

Point stands, if you are in a vehicle chase with police - you are armed. Period. You have a 4000lb bullet capable of intentional and unintentional death. If they got him out of the car and then shot him, that will indeed be a different thing.

In my research for this, the number of times I heard and read “he was expected to be a father in months” was over the top. The media has an angle to push, and like you said, no one has even seen the video yet.

You make a highway sound like a mass murderer convention.

I mean… people are killed in and around vehicles more than everything but maybe heart disease (guessing) so… kinda?
