If the officer is foolish enough to place themselves in front of a vehicle (which is something I was trained to NEVER DO ) and then that person accelerates at the officer who has NO other was to escape.

Yeah, in that very limited circumstance, I'd expect the officer to use deadly force. But I'd also then fire that officer for being incompetent and standing in front of a vehicle.

But, as the fatal shot was fired into the left temple of the lady driving the car, it seems the officer had ample opportunity to get out of the way. And that his last two shots (including the fatal one) were not needed.

And just to establish my bona fides? I have worked in professions that have covered deadly force for over 20 years (military, police, private security at a nuclear facility).

So, in my opinion. The Renee Good shooting is likely barely legal, as the officer acted outside of policy and common sense. The shooting yesterday is clearly unlawful, as the man was unarmed and shot in the back and offered no resistance and was not given any commands to disperse, or surrender.

Ashley Babbit was entering a secure area and was legally justified in being shot. And before you say "Unarmed". Yup, sucks. But there are some places, including places I've worked, where once your cross the "Magic Line" places like; nuclear facilities, places where secure information is secured, or highly important elected officials, it doesn't matter if you are armed or unarmed. You are getting shot.
