"We'll Kick Your Ass" "...as

Click on the above link, which doubles as the title to this post, and which I commented on earlier this week here.  Now, click on this link, which will take you to a short AP article about an 18 year old woman who was shot and killed by a Michigan State Police trooper.  The article is conveniently lacking in details in regards to the young ladies "traffic violation," though a justification statement, of sorts, does state that the young lady was shot "after a pursuit that reached 60 miles per hour."

It will be interesting to see what additional details emerge in regards to this incident, but my gut reaction to this is what could this young woman, who, as the article states, "apparently tried to injure a trooper," have done, injury wise to a state trooper, that has resulted in her lying, lifeless, in a morgue?

One last comment.  You’ll notice that I appended the title of this post with “as per policy.” I appended that to the title because the printed article, which I clipped from my local paper ends with this sentence, "The trooper who shot the woman has been placed on administrative leave, as per policy." Those three little words, which are omitted from the article online, speak volumes
