If I am boxed in by a car with no police lights with masked men jumping out and immediately pointing guns at me..... Floor it. This is self defense because I have no way of knowing who is threatening my life. With guns drawn you can't see POLICE on the vests either.

I would prefer that and deal with the aftermath after.

I mean, they jumped out with guns drawn. There was really no chance to move the car at that point and survive. They did it to Renee Good. They'll do it again.

The aftermath might be you're dead... but eventually this is going to happen and they will survive and it's going to go to court. I would love to see the precedent get set that it was indeed self defense.

This masked non identifying shit is insane.

Sounds like a case of in for a penny in for a pound. Don't let kidnappers take you to point b.
