   If I were a leftist I might have pointed out how the officer, against   
   training, intentionally placed himself in a position where he would   
   have plausible justification for shooting. He had already walked around   
   the car recording and it looks like he drew his gun before she even put   
   the car in drive with the wheels aimed away from him - she had been   
   reversing away from him.   
      
   If I were a rightist, I would likely point out that the officer was   
   indeed limping a little after the 'strike' and her wife was overly   
   antagonistic which doesn't help with de-escalation.   
      
   However, my comment was about how the other countries of the world have   
   lost trust in the USA because we might at any time stupidly elect some   
   populist demagogue who ignores our congress and constitution. Democracy   
   is a fragile thing.
