There was no immediate and unavoidable risk to that cop nor to anyone else

Wow, thanks for your analysis, Lemmy expert on conflict resolution! I’ll be sure to ping you next time I need some clear and unbiased analysis of an obviously dangerous situation. Man, I wish I could be half as confident as you sound when dishing out an opinion.

Even if the kid was on drugs and speeding for fun shooting at him is not an acceptable response.

Are you saying drugged up drivers that are speeding in high pedestrian traffic areas pose no risk to anyone at all??? Am I reading your comment right???

Edit: this response was for u/riodoro1 but for some reason Sync won’t let me reply to them.
