This was done recently in Portland and the public outcry was huge. Cops pull over a car and remove two passengers. Female passenger in back seat climbs over and attempts to start car. Police taz her with no effect. One cop attempts to get in car and remove keys. Suspect starts to drive off with officer 80% inside the car. Fearing he will be sucked under the car, he shoots her. Seems about right to me.

Turns out later suspect has warrants for her arrest and is high on cocaine (done within 4 hours of the shooting).

I can't see why there was any outcry. If they wanted to bitch about the availablity of drugs...okay. But bitching about the police is ridiculous.

I have a golden rule: I don't want to get shot by the cops so I DON'T run from them and I DO whatever they tell me to do.
