Here We Go Again - Another Criminal Shot By Police In Dearborn.

[Lowell]

Once again there is a lot of speculation here. First off the woman is not a criminal [unless she had a prior felony conviction] and certainly not as related this alleged incident. Yet. One still is innocent until proven guilty and not a criminal until then. Semantics and the law matter.

The Detroit News article in confusing.

"...she “started to speed away, almost striking an officer,” Shaw said.

An officer on scene pulled out a weapon and shot her, he said. ...

An officer also received minor non-life-threatening injuries during the incident and was hospitalized, Shaw said. It wasn’t clear if that officer fired the shot."

A strong argument for body cams for Dearborn police is building.

Anyone who "avoids" being pulled over has committed a crime. A person who has committed a crime is labeled a criminal. Therefore anyone who avoids pulling over for the police is a criminal. This is basic logic.

I know you post this stuff just to get a rise out of people, but you really do seem to need a civics lesson. In our system a criminal is someone who has been convicted of a crime in a court of law.

Took the words out of my mouth. Rushes to judgment based on media reports are not basic logic and have collapsed in courts countless times. That's why we have rule by law and not by media. Cool deliberation, after all evidence is assembled, presented and, most importantly, cross-examined before a judge and jury decides who is a criminal and who is not.
