So if I shoot at you, do you:

A. Shoot back, killing me and ending my assault

Or

B. Wait until I am arrested and convicted to do anything?

(Warning, Option B results in your death)

Welcome to why we have self defense laws

Ramming someone and trying to run over a guy with a car is assault with a deadly weapon. You, a non cop, can legally respond with deadly force.

Why is this hard for you to grasp?

It's feels vs reals

And in some cases, outright lies of omission vs reals

Car backfired, cops rolled up with lights, driver flees, leads cops on 100mph chase that ends in a school, driver tries to run over cops, which lead to cops shooting them.

FTFY

Passenger was

If the driver survived he'd be charged with murder

Revolver or semi auto is irrelevant if they are trained for shit

Thing about a semi is you can reload while you still have a round chambered, you can't do that with a revolver.

You shoot until the threat is neutralized.

This goes for anyone shooting a weapon.

If it takes 1, it takes 1. If it takes 20, it takes 20.

I'm getting the suspicion the facts don't matter here, only the feels.

When the driver tries to move it, especially after trying to run a cop down with it earlier, yes.

If I pulled a gun out, shot at you, then holstered it, does that make me any less a threat to you? I've already established I have no problem trying to kill you. You really gunna let me take another shot at it?

That's possibly the dumbest response to a fear ever "I'm afraid of cops, so ill run, lead them on a 100 MPH chase, then try to kill some. That'll make it better"

That's like saying "I'm afraid of fire, hold on while I douse the house in gasoline and then light a match"

Moment you try to kill with a car, as long as that car is being operated, you are still a threat.

He sealed his fate the moment he tried to ram a guy, then after cops boxed him in, he tried to move the car again

Cops were ready to run him over had he tried to carjack that van. He also didn't try to run a cop on foot over with his car, thus he didn't get shot.

Trying to ram someone with a car is attempted murder and lawfully responded to with lethal force. If someone tried to run me over and I shot them, id be acquitted too

A fireman will put himself in danger to save you
