Can you say, doh?!
It's also an election year all around in Riverside. Inside City Hall, and inside the RPOA. And elections have ways of making involved parties engage in rather interesting behavior, to win them.

Reading the Commission's report (on it's internet site), I am surprised that Officer Wilson didn't shoot Lane earlier. She was clearly involved in the struggle between Wilson and her accomplice, only she was using her car as a weapon. Wilson did not place himself in harm's way. Lane manuevered her vehicle on more than one instance to try to hit him. Wilson had to shoot her to avoid being run over. To call this excessive force on Wilson's behalf clearly destroy's this commission's credibilty.
Dear A:
You raise interesting questions in your post, especially in your statement: Wilson had to shoot her to avoid being run over
Yet at the time he shot Lane, the car was stopped, and Mr. Grotness was on the ground exhausted. Wilson walked behind the car up to the driver's side of a stationary vehicle and fired four times. At the point in the situation where the situation was most de-esculated, was when the highest level of force that an officer can use, lethal, force was used.
Did the commission have any credibility with you to begin with? I'm just curious...
have a nice day,
