And it is so terrible, Roy, that they're not even investigating the conduct of the officer in the Renee Goode setting.
There is a universal thought among law enforcement that shooting at moving vehicles are discouraged.
especially or unless there is some deadly threat separate from the vehicle itself.
Because shooting a gun is reckless, man.
It's not like you see on television.
You're shooting all over the place.
And innocent people can be injured by the stray bullets and often are.
So there are universal trainings over the course of your six months, not just 42 days.
that you never shoot at a moving vehicle.
You get your butt out of the way.
And clearly, with Renee Good, two of the shots went through the open driver's side window.
I'm sure she was shot in the head.
And it's terrible that after the shootings, they simply allow the bodies to lay there and bleed out.
They prevented doctors who were present in each instance, health care providers, to come to the scene to try to give aid to the fallen victims.
That shows how there's now a warrior mentality, us versus them.
They are the bad guys.
We are the good guys.
And that warrior mentality is at the basis of most uses of unreasonable force, that coupled with fear.
because cops are people too and cops are afraid.
And when they are emboldened, what they'll do first is draw on their weapons or use their force.
