"2. The legal and policy boundary: imminent threat is the usual threshold for deadly forceMost departments and federal guidance permit deadly force against a vehicle only when the driver “poses an imminent threat of deadly force beyond the car itself,” and policies commonly say deadly force cannot be used solely to prevent escape or to disable a fleeing vehicle [sup][2][/sup] [sup][7][/sup]. Justice Department guidance and many agencies explicitly require that deadly force is justified only when no reasonable alternative exists, including stepping out of the vehicle’s path — in other words, officers are expected to avoid standing directly in front of a moving car whenever possible [sup][3][/sup]."
He didn’t have time to move out of the way. He also didn’t jump in front of her suv. He was walking up to the car when she turned the wheel with him in front of her and hit the gas, the car moved forward few feet before he pulled his gun out and shot her. I can’t believe his reaction time was as fast as it was but not fast enough to move out of her way. It’s all on video ya know.
And you conveniently left out these parts
Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.“
“Deadly force should not be used against persons whose actions are a threat solely to themselves or property unless an individual poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others in close proximity.”
