And that resistance is justification for what they just did.
Look, I'm the son of a police officer.
I'm a brother of two police officers.
I'm a former prosecutor.
And I have always had the backs of law enforcement.
But what that officer did there was murder.
You know, that there was no de-escalation.
There was no effort to, you know, use any other level of force.
It does not appear in any angle that I've seen, you know, that his life was in danger.
This wasn't somebody who was you're pinned against a wall and they're driving at you, you know, 20 miles an hour and you can't go anywhere.
He clearly got out of the way.
He was on his own two feet.
And look, there have to be consequences now.

We don't want you anywhere if you're not going after violent criminals and you're going to do stuff like this.
