Again, your courts will decide his fate based on the evidence against the officer.
But i think it will work for him just as well as it did for the likes of Derek Chauvin in the end.
Authority isn't unlimited.
And deadly force requires an imminent, unavoidable threat.
The law says Police officers must avoid creating threats towards themselves.
And standing in front of a car with a drawn weapon, and then claiming the car is a weapon, is not going to cut the proverbial mustard in court.
A vehicle fleeing isn't automatically lethal force.
Just circles now....
