A car driven into police is considered a weapon and the car supposedly hit one of the officers.

On top of that car was reported as stolen.

Who would charge or convict any officer in those circumstances?

A stolen car should not be a death sentence without trial.

Legally, a car can be considered a weapon if driven at and hitting people.

If the officers story is true, then there will be no charges.

Whether or not the officer was struck or the car rolled into him, whether he is truly injured or not, will not matter.

If there is evidence that the claim that she drove a car at them is false, or arguably if they shot her a significant time after she had done so, there will be a case to answer.

Otherwise, it doesn't sound like there is.

There is no way this ever goes to court.

... but something sure as hell is going on....

if you replaced the title with

Civilians shot by other civilians

then you'd have pretty much the same graph except the number of dead people would be about fifty times as large.

Was the teenage female white or black? Because that is critical in how much it matters

If it's a stolen car and the driver tried to ram the cops, well, double-dumbass on him. She was a passenger but what kind of people was she hanging around with? While I'm not one to absolve the cops automatically, trash will find trouble. Anecdotally, with people I am familiar with, I can think of a number of instances where people have gotten themselves in serious trouble, not because they started shit but because they were hanging out with people who start shit. Contagious bad ideas.

When I read the subject line I thought this was going to be a classic dick cop story. Car not parked properly, owner in house and inebriated from drinking at home. Cop says to move the car. She says I'm sorry, ossifer, I'm intoxicated and should not operate a motor vehicle. He says just move the damn thing a few feet and that'll be fine. She does it and he immediately arrests her for DUI. That's a fucking dick cop.

We had a story in my area a few years back with people upset a cop shot a kid at a school party in the back of the head. Wow, what a dick, right? Full context: kid was driving his car on school property, driving down the covered walkways with students around. He refused all commands to stop. The cop felt lives were at risk. Was it the right call? I don't know, I wasn't there. I didn't see how fast the car was driving, how close other pedestrians were. Maybe there was a perfectly fine way to arrest him without violence. But I do he never would have been shot by that cop if he wasn't driving his car down the fucking covered walkway at the school party. It's not worth getting killed over but shit, driving while tired isn't worth getting killed over and you'll see hundreds of single vehicle accidents late at night. If you weren't driving tired, you wouldn't have fallen asleep behind the wheel. It's a goddamn tragic waste but regrets won't undue the damage.

Mandatory. Investigations or charges should follow if necessary, but the politics of right or wrong should be kept a distance from the department and the force.

"Police said the injured officer is in fair condition at a local hospital with a possible broken leg."

I generally don't like it when cops shoot at moving vehicles but this is a vehicle that hit someone with enough force to break their leg. It was a justified shooting.

How did you come into this information?
