November 9, 201411 yr According to witnesses who testified, the same witnesses who were passengers in the vehicle all said she was very intoxicated and when rating on a scale from 1-10 10 being the drunkest a few of them said she was an 8. So so although a .12 May not seem too drunk by some, it is 6 times over the limit and according to her own friends she was pretty drunk. They alsp stated theu smoked pot an hour before. She also posted a text asking Got Bud? At the party Still no reason to be shot. What if he missed shooting her and shot the passengers?
November 9, 201411 yr Still no reason to be shot. What if he missed shooting her and shot the passengers? You can "What if" a million scenarios.
November 9, 201411 yr You can "What if" a million scenarios. I agree but I don't understand putting other lives at risk.
November 9, 201411 yr Still no reason to be shot. What if he missed shooting her and shot the passengers? What if he allowed her to drive off and she crashed her car into a vehicle of a family with kids, killing them?
November 9, 201411 yr What if he allowed her to drive off and she crashed her car into a vehicle of a family with kids, killing them? The people in the car chose to get into the car.
November 9, 201411 yr The people in the car chose to get into the car. What about the people in the other car?
November 9, 201411 yr What other car? Re-read my original post. I said what if the deputy hadn't stopped her and then she crashed her car into another vehicle and killed a family?
November 9, 201411 yr Re-read my original post. I said what if the deputy hadn't stopped her and then she crashed her car into another vehicle and killed a family? But no one knows if that would have happened and brings in "What if".
November 9, 201411 yr I agree but I don't understand putting other lives at risk. Didn't they put their own lives at risk when they chose to get in the vehicle with what they knew was a seriously impaired driver? They also knew they were attempting to evade arrest--that was the purpose in getting in the car with a drunk driver, right?
November 9, 201411 yr .12 is certainly over the legal limit to operate a vehicle, but it is not "fall down" drunk. What was the toxicity level for the marijuana? As you know, pot can stay in your system for almost 30 days. The detection of its presence alone does not necessarily mean that she was high. Were the actual levels released to the public? While .12 may not be "falling down drunk" for you, it may be for others. Each persons body metabolizes alcohol at a different rate.

They also knew they were attempting to evade arrest--that was the purpose in getting in the car with a drunk driver, right? I understand the arguments from those who defend the deputy. For me, though, it all comes down to three questions: (1) Did the deputy have options other than pumping four bullets into the young woman from close distance? (2) Was the deputy enraged when he fired his weapon (because of the injury he sustained to his foot/ankle)? (3) Did the officer's training justify his actions?

If he was on the hood of an accelerating vehicle that just ran over his foot, what other options can you think of?

November 9, 201411 yr If he was on the hood of an accelerating vehicle that just ran over his foot, what other options can you think of? If I'm reading this correctly, according to the deputy's statement of 4-26-14 (link below), the foot injury occurred after he fired the shots: "Once firing the 4 rounds, Deputy Brockman fell fom the vehicle landing on his right foot and felt a sharp pain and a physical pop."
