You don't have the legal, moral or spiritual right to kill someone for not having a front tag and defying you.

No, here is where people are confused. When you are stopped at a traffic stop for a legal infraction...for all intents and purposes YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. You have been legally detained.
Driving off is resisting arrest. You are given a ticket or warning IN LIEU OF A FORMAL ARREST.
It can be escalated to a FORMAL arrest, but you are technically arrested while stopped and this is why there are no 4th amendment violations for being removed from your vehicle.

Edit: And not just driving off. Not getting out of your car, not turning down your radio, not providing your license, refusing to be cuffed without Miranda rights being read...
They all end up as "resisting arrest" because you have been legally detained, which is a form of arrest.
dubose car never revved up until after he was shot. Debose could of simply hit the gas if he already had the car in drive . He couldnt because as soon as the car was in drive Terreance shot him so he couldnt flee.

I have studied the video, and the video shows that Tensing was indeed dragged by the car. It was not a lie, the video evidence shows he was dragged several feet, and I even pointed it out in some of my last posts.
The source you are quoting is wrong, and most likely confused by the video evidence.

Only a complete idiot would think, or even insist, the guy was killed for not having a front tag.

I accept your description of me. I will for the moment, be your complete idiot.
First get something straight. What I said was

So tell me, what did he do that justified him being killed?
I am just asking.

Please stop embarrassing yourself...seriously.
The guy was shot because he created a situation in which the officer feared for his life when he tried to speed off. People have been killed by cars speeding off while someone is standing at the door. Once you speed off in a car and the officer is tangled up, the car is no longer a mode of transportation but a deadly weapon at that point.
You cannot possibly be this dense...

The use of deadly force is also authorized when a person poses a significant threat to a law enforcement officer, usually when the officer is at risk of serious bodily injury or death.

Pro-tip: traffic stops don't count for that.
I feel like you're being tongue in cheek but....
Just in case
