From the article, given the lack of archive link:
That's not an excuse to murder someone.
It's more a question of why someone that maybe has PTSD is serving on the job.
fuck these murdering fascist assholes
rolling down the window only partially when the gestapo wants it down all the way is not a good reason to escalate the situation by breaking one of the car's windows
that escalation triggers the driver's fight-or-flight response, so he tries to drive off. the only reason the agent gets dragged by the car is because he escalated the situation by breaking the rear window and reaching in.
was he "dragged" by the car...or was he holding on to something inside the car because he wanted to go along for the ride?
it sounds like he escalated the situation in the first place, and then played out some action-movie fantasies he had of trying to tase the driver of the car while it was moving
"an experienced officer"... Lol, yeah, experienced at putting himself in harms way.
Snowflake.
And that's the official account.
It sounds to me like the officer unneccessarily punched in the person's window, started tasing them, then refused to let go as the person instinctively fled from an attacker as almost all organisms inevitably will.
I suspect this is yet another violent thug who never had the temperment to do the job honestly. The first time he freaked the fuck out and got himself hurt, the second time he murdered an innocent woman in cold blood.
