So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.

When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

Those indicators are the difference between “the vehicle moved” and “the vehicle was used as the weapon.” If they are not present, certainty about intent is not analysis, it is narrative management. 6/7

Also interesting to note that a handful of schools each enrolled >580 voucher students (that's >$4m each and a lot for an ostensibly statewide program). One school with a minimum tuition of $18k had 325 voucher students ($2.37m). Your tax dollars at work! (2/3)
