Yeah, because that’s what we do when someone is criminally resisting, we…let them go! Are you listening to yourself objectively right now?

Oh there’s a guy who just robbed a bank and shot 2 tellers? Don’t shoot him, just let him go. We’ll just put out a warrant for his arrest and pick him up later!

Wut…

There was risk in letting her drive home. That part is clear. She was already willing to attempt running over an officer. Your argument is that the officer shouldn’t have stepped in front of the car? Seriously? She was told to get out of the car. Not to leave. The idea behind stepping in front of the car is that most people would have the sense enough NOT to try and run someone over with that car. She didn’t. She suffered those consequences.

If a police officer told you to step out of the car and they had someone in front, would you attempt to run him over? I sure as fuck wouldn’t. But because he’s a police officer and you’ve already made up your mind about him, you don’t mind excusing HIS life, and you’ll make all sorts of arguments for hers.

It’s pretty clear that this argument isn’t in good faith from you. You’re not willing to use logic and a baseline of morality on a level playing field across all actors in this event. You’ve discounted her actions, and aren’t willing to even budge on the argument that she shouldn’t do what she did.

Life lesson kids: If you don’t want to get killed by a police officer…don’t attempt to run over them with your car.
