I'm suggesting consistently that the decision to fire 1 shot or 4 was the same. He decided to use deadly force. He cannot know at the time of firing, if his first bullet will kill or the last, or a combination. The case against Ross would hinge on whether he was justified to use deadly force. The rounds were fired so close together that you cannot argue any separate assessment was made of the risk. The car was moving he kept firing, shot 1-4 complete in under 1 second.You've earlier posted that later shots were to "protect the public".
Ergo, the first shot wasn't enough.
I'm not defending the US laws/Supreme Court's willingness to allow deadly force against people who are obstructing justice, fleeing a traffic stop or might not have paid a toll fee.Therefore, your post - quoted above - makes no sense as, even killing someone isn't in your mind enough to see off the risk of being hit by the vehicle.
