> I find it hard to believe that any law enforcement agents anywhere would tolerate these actions without similar response. It’s interesting that that’s your perception. In a lot to countries it’s very rare for the police to kill anyone in the sorts of circumstances you’re describing.

  They’re arrested and charged with appropriate offenses, e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyg3j2kvzdo.amp https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyg3j2kvzdo.amp Renee Nicole wasn’t driving a car at anyone, but regardless, it is stupid to shoot someone who’s driving a car at you as it won’t stop the car. What you need to do in that situation is get out of the way.

      That was an aside because I think inaccurate summaries of what happened in the videos should always be corrected, however bad MAGA want to post truth this. But the question we were discussing was whether or not it was normal in other countries for police to shoot the drivers of cars as a means of stopping them. So no agreement on the facts of the Renee Nicole case is required.

    The truth of that can be seen in the recordings where the car is driving away from the ICE person, till it crashes violently into a mast or something after the driver (Renee Nicole) was shot by the ICE person.

      Additional examples of people assaulting British police officers using cars and not being shot.

        Yes. It is harmful to the cops ( some die ) and beneficial to the perps ( who do not fear being shot ).

        You are conceding the point that it is not in fact normal in other parts of the world for the police to shoot the driver as a means of avoiding being hit by the car. Doing so does not even make sense from a practical point of view. The car will most likely keep coming towards you anyway. The incident you linked where the police officer sustained life threatening injuries (they didn’t die, as far as I can tell) seems to have been a collision between two cars caused by dangerous driving, so it’s not really a relevant example.

        The point is not to stop the car. The point is to stop the driver, because that person is obviously willing to kill someone using the car as a weapon. That person should be stopped ASAP. The cited articles include charges of murder, highlighting that point.
