The cop should not have been standing in front of the car, she did not deserve to get executed over potential shoplifting or/and having a shitty day

If a cop is stupid enough to risk death over someone else's property, fuck 'em.

I've had a lot of shit stolen from me in my life. I don't feel any of it was worth a cop getting their fool self killed over.

If it’s against policy/training I would expect it to be manslaughter, since the cop was negligent in his actions.

(At least that’s how manslaughter law works for normal people)

I mean, you shouldn't leave a knife lying around, but if someone picks it up and goes to stab you, you're still able to defend yourself. Dumb to stand there, but he's still going to respond according to the situation. Generally, legally, if someone is trying to run you over, that's a deadly threat and shooting them is an appropriate force response.

I think the important question is whether he could have gotten out of the way once she started driving. That's what I would try and argue if I were the family's lawyer. It's very likely to come back as justified use of force, but they'll probably get a settlement.

So civilian protesters would be justified in killing any cop that uses their car to “push them” out of the way?

If you want a real answer: possibly. But police use of force is judged under Graham v. Connor (and associated state and case law) and civilian violence would be judged under whatever homicide exemptions are carved out under state law.

Egg-fucking-zacktly.

Well to be fair it’s a lot easier and less scary to kill an unarmed pregnant woman point blank than searching for someone who will definitely shoot at you

That was a pretty good one. So was the one where they got the trans person that shot up that school. But then there's also Uvalde, Parkland, Pulse, etc.
