Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one. An officer then discharged their weapon and the vehicle fled the scene.
What an utter moron.
It is basically the standard of US police training that when faced with any sort of resistance that could possibly conceivably cause harm to an officer, the first, second, and third options are to draw pistols and fire as many rounds as quickly as possible center mass with intent to kill.
Just watched a different police shooting involving a kidnapper and his victim in the back seat of a car. When the car was finally stopped, the kidnapper fired his pistol at cops and the cops responded by shooting the car roughly 150 times. The kidnapper lived, the victim died. Official reports and autopsies insist that the kidnapper executed her and she was not struck by police gunfire, which is obviously very convenient for the department's PR and legal teams.
That's insane. I reckon if you can't be a good cop without a gun, you shouldn't be a cop with one.
It’s bold of you to blindly believe the cops at this point. Particularly those in Mississippi.
I don't believe a word of it, but even their lies make them out to be idiots.

Cellphone video footage obtained by Fox 13 Memphis shows a vehicle driving away from officers, but does not appear to capture the moment of the shooting. A photo of the car shows bullet holes in the windshield.
Of course Fox doesn't show the moment of the shooting. They want to make the cops seem like good guys and the car is the big bad criminal getting away. Same shit with Renee Good.
I hope the pig never gets a good night of rest again. The demon should be made to suffer!
A motherfucking CAB. And you know there won’t be any kind of justice in that shitty state.

Bullshit.
Officers were responding to a fucking shoplifting call.
