    So, they shot because they were fearing for their safety?

    And they shot from behind the car, through the back window, while the car was driving away from both of them.
    Okay.

    What was the threat they were trying to stay from?

      What was the threat they were trying to stay from?

      • Hurt feelings from not having their authority respected.
      • Being reprimanded for not meeting their monthly arrest quota.
      • The idea that they might eventually be the minorities.

      Take your pick.
