Oklahoma cop indicted for murder after allegedly firing 60 rounds, killing road-rage suspect https://www.foxnews.com/us/oklahoma-police-officer-indicted-murder-shootingSounds to me like the Officer prevented another incident like the one that recently happened in Odessa, TX

From the article:
Mitchell's defense attorney, Gary James, argued the 40-year-old police officer acted lawfully to stop a threat. James said it was a "sad day for law enforcement and society," and described Godsey as a "violent, fleeing felon."
“She shot at the police twice. She has shot at her mother twice. She has shot at a private citizen. We know she fired other rounds around town," James said. "Mitchell gets in behind her. He took his AR-15 and he started shooting through the front windshield at her."
James said Mitchell was cleared by an independent internal affairs review of the shooting. Mitchell faces at least 10 years in prison, if convicted.

Not that many.
2 mags worth under a situation where the person has fired shots at cops as well as other folks.
More needs to be found out.

Keep shooting till the bad guy is no longer a threat!
Sounds like he did his job to me.

It was a woman - if the officer had shot a white male he'd be a hero .

W She wasn’t an unarmed 15 year-old running from a residential burglary. She was shooting back according to the article. More of a Graham v. Conner issue. Was he objectively reasonable in his use of force based on the totality of circumstances.

If he used only one round he would be convicted of being an assassin.

Was he objectively reasonable in his use of force based on the totality of circumstances. She was a fleeing felon. Tennessee v Garner. Deadly force cant be used to seize a suspect unless...."the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." I would say shooting at others (her mother), and at police meets Tennessee v Garner. Graham v. Conner is use of deadly force, which if the three pronged test were applied its still a good shoot based off the facts provided.

Anybody wanna guess what color she was?
Indict the cop to appease the "community", or give him a medal and watch the city burn?
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

In a day when mass shootings are way to common it's hard to argue against doing whatever it takes to put someone like that down. She'd shot at multiple people. The only thing they could rational sentience that officer to would maybe be more time at the shooting range.

Killing people is never a good investment in law enforcement. It's gotta be done sometime, but it's seldom going to advance your career.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
