    I’m going to keep repeating this refrain, but calling her a “soccer mom” isn’t a good look. She was more than that.

      I disagree. “Soccer Mom” stresses how harmless she (likely) was. It may normally be diminutive, but in this case it’s the diminutive nature of it works in her favor.

      Worst thing you need to worry about with a soccer Mom is they bump a bit of their kids Adderall.

      Iirc:

      The same officer who killed Renee Good stuck his hand in the window of a car driven by a convicted sex offender earlier this year, and refused to let go when the sex offender started driving away, attempting all sorts of nonlethal force like a taser, until the sex offender crashed.

      There is some dispute over whether the officer was truly “stuck” or just held on in order to have greater charges against the convicted sex offender. What is indisputable, is that the officer never attempted to use his gun in that moment, while he did use it on Renee Good.
