"As deputies spun the suspect out of control, deputy West starting shooting. Michael Dial died after being shot in the head."
I am not saying they should have treated the perp with kid gloves but they did both, shoot and spin-out, at the same time. Wtf, do you want to shoot the idiot or spin him out. Both? They sound like gangsters.

We're only seeing about a minute of video out of a 50 mile chase. From what I saw, the perp was risking the lives of anybody in his path... because of an expired license?! What normal person acts that way? Also, I went back and watched the video and we can't see what perp was doing because the body cam only shows the cop's arms as he's shooting. Did he have his arms out like he had a weapon? No idea.
I'm not for shooting innocent people. Nobody is. But innocent people don't do what he did and we don't have the full picture based on this video alone.
