Neither of them were abiding by the law. Nor were either of them executed. Such hyperbole.
Abiding the law?
What law did they break to constitute being shot dead on the spot?
Or do you now support vague charges like "obstruction of justice"?
One person showed up with a gun, the other tried to flee (or run over) an officer.
Wold you as a police officer always behave perfectly in any urgent situation?
This kind of made up bullshit makes you look like a total lunatic.
they way they are going about it very much is. update your understanding.
One person showed up with a gun, the other tried to flee (or run over) an officer.
Carrying a gun, or fleeing, is not punishable by death. In any decent country, of course.
These were accidents, not court proceedings where you have weeks or months to think things over.
My prediction is that if you investigate them, then in the case where the woman was trying to drive away, the officer likely has no fault at all, as the drive may have easily be interpreted as driving towards him. On the armed protestor occasion, there might be some fault as the gun seemed to have gone off unexpectedly. But it won't be punished too hard, if at all, as the victim was actively escalating the situation.
These weren't punishments ("death sentences" as someone else called them). These were accidents where the victims themselves were (mostly) at fault.
Nope, but executing law abiding citizens in the streets is
