(4,044 posts)15. Good analysis, but I will stickle
Because I'm a stickler. I think this would have happened Had Renee Good not have said "I'm not mad at you." The record is rife with deputized thugs behaving like this. I do think authority has everything to do with it though. It fits more of a pattern of an unfit officer angry at someone "who just won't comply [with the demand she get out of the vehicle]." Her driving off is the affront to their "authority" that triggered the killer.

Good question. No authority and no grounds whatsoever. A professional law enforcement officer's take, not mine.
