Ummm... looks like we all forgot two things here...
"putting his car in reverse and striking one of the officers in plain clothing."
Yeah, I'd have shot him too if he tried to run me over... if the officers identified themselves as police and he took the actions said there, another contestant for the Darwin award.
"The passenger was the person being investigated by the task force."
As the saying goes... Chi va dormir con i cani, si leua con i pulici
The fact that he's a pastor has nothing to do with this, it's just to tug on our little bleeding liberal hearts... of which I have not.
Fact in this story: Try to run over cops, get shot... seems like common sense to me!
Edited to add: And without seeing the video, none of us can say the police were unidentified or not, as most of the times they're pumping adrenaline and yelling POLICE POLICE... it also says he resisted questioning... so, did they talk to him, and THEN he put his car in reverse? If so, the cops had every right to end his life... try running over me and I'll do it too, thank God for open carry!
