Most times that I've called the cops, I ended up becoming the suspect because quite frankly, I don't have a likable attitude.

I've never been arrested because I have never let a cop catch me doing anything illegal (not like I really do illegal things anyways), but that hasn't stopped them from throwing me against their vehicles and violating my privacy just to show me who is the bigger man.

And for you example? Pick up a baseball bat and kneecap him, and then call the cops if it appears that he will first. You're within your moral and justified rights to do so.

There is an eye witness. That's great!
Let's remove the eye witness account. Then what are we left with? Assuming the officer's testimony is true, then we can ask
1. For starters, why didn't the officer remove his hand when the window was being rolled up? It takes more than 3 seconds for a window to be rolled up completely. Why did the officer purposely leave his hand to be trapped in?
2. If the officer hand then got trapped and the car started moving, why didnt he shoot the glass by pointing the gun at the steering wheel away from the driver? it makes sense that he would have had to be at an angle away from the driver to free himself anyway. Why did he purposely shoot her?
3. Is it safe to say that the officer couldn't control his emotions, got angry and wanted to kill the victim? I mean he did fire multiple shots after he was allegedly free. He must have been quick enough to regain his feet,balance to continue shooting at her. So his instincts were sharp and quick.
He killed her in cold blood.

2. When your arm is caught and a person is attempting to drive away with you stuck, you just shoot. The person is already fleeing and avoiding arrest, not to mention attempted murder by driving with the police officer stuck in the window.
3. After already attempting to murder the officer using the car, a vehicle is considered a deadly weapon. You can do massive damage with a vehicle, believe me. In this case, he was attempting to stop her from fleeing.

Well you are forgetting the time reaction to removing your arm from the window as it is being closed. Why was his arm inside anyway?

how did it get trapped when he had more than 3 seconds to remove it?

How many people have been dragged by cars and died especially when they had the means to free themselves?

I dont think a Jeep Wrangler has a "roll up button"? If they do have a power package, none of the folks I know have had one. Most Wranglers are pretty utilitarian models...
Now, if she had to actually roll her window up, imagine how it is even possible to get his arm stuck. This story reeks. If the backlash begins, it will be all our fault.

I will wait for the rest of the story to come out because if she did trap his arm in the door and began to drive off, that would be justified. If someone has a hold of your arm and began to drive off, how would you handle the situation? You guys have a great advantage that this officer didn't in your response... time.
