It’s how Trump got his Purple Heart.
The President of the United States is so desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize that he’ll take a used one. There is no one tackier and more unhinged.
I thought Trump would never get the Nobel Peace Prize. He's about to prove me wrong!

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Trump’s self-serving takeover of D.C. public golf is bad news for all
It’ll fit perfectly in a worldview where the price you pay is the only arbiter of how much you are allowed to enjoy yourself.

The middle frame here is critical. It shows the position of the officer's feet when the *first* shot was fired. He appears already out of danger. And then the subsequent shots from the side into the driver's window look like straight up kill shots after the car had turned and was passing him.
I think it's highly likely Trump aides tried to avoid showing him the video that displays the shooting into the window from the side of the car, taken from the back, because it shows the officer was in no sense in life-threatening danger when he fired the shots:
