I didn't say that at all - I question the actions of the officer who shot at the mini van. The officer who fired shots a the mini van wasn't the officer who originally pulled the mini van over.
The driver could not have handled the situation any worse. She took a routine traffic stop and turned it into multiple felonies.

I wasn't assaulted; I was pulled over. This wasn't a routine traffic stop, but instead a full felony stop. In my case it wasn't "May I see your driver's licence, sir" but instead was guns drawn, traffic stopped, and I was told to exit the car and put my hands above my head, etc. Once down on the ground I took a good knee to the back and ate some gravel; I wasn't assaulted but instead detained. It wasn't really a pleasant experience; It was the police doing their job.
I did deserve it.
(I should mentioned that the ticket was dropped to a regular speeding ticket, I paid $150 fine, and got a single point on my license.)
