    a woman died because of his mistakes

    It wasn’t a mistake.

    Not when you want to justify the escalation of force. There’s plenty of clips out there of officers deliberately placing themselves in front of vehicles.

      It’s weird how so many conservatives and a lot of cops are in favor of laws in which it is legal to drive over protesters if you feel endangered.

      Let me guess, though, they don’t think the same thing should apply to people driving over “officers” that they think are endangering them. Also, the protesters are probably only fodder for cars if they are deemed liberal protesters, most likely. If some Nazi douchebag that was out marching was driven over by a car, they’d catch feelings.
