Furthermore,
You're not a protestor even if you DON'T actually come into physical contact with the officer with your car.
Actual contact = battery. That's a crime.
Trying to hit someone with your car, but missing because they jump or fall out of the way, is assault. That's a crime too. In fact, if you don't actually hit the other person with your car, but the other person is injured attempting to evade your assault, that might also constitute a battery as well. Depends on what the law covering that actually says.
Recklessly driving your car so as to cause a danger of hitting an LEO because you were trying to evade the LEO's lawful exercise of his authority to order you to stop and exit the vehicle is also at least potentially a crime. At the least reckless endangerment.
What is crystal clear from Ross's video--because we have the audio from the partner--is that both the partner and the driver were deliberately defying the officer's lawful orders.
Why was the partner even outside of the vehicle? Obviously, because the officers had stopped the vehicle and told its occupants to exit it. The occupants thought they would "resist."
Because the Left has told them that's what they should do.
They resisted and someone died. Unfortunately for the driver and her partner, it was the driver who died. Not the officer. Regardless of whether the officer is charged and/or convicted with a crime as being responsible for the death (i.e. due to excessive use of force), in reality, this confrontation and the death that resulted from it is a direct consequence of the deliberate actions of the driver and her partner, egged on by the Left.
Let's say instead of seeking confrontation with law enforcement, the driver went into a bar and picked a fight with another patron at the bar, and fist fight ensued. The instigator ends up dead. Sorting out who is actually legally responsible is part of the aftermath. The fact that the instigator got more than she bargained for is a result of poor life choices.
