No one is saying she is the reason for her assault. I hope that's not the take away from this back and forth. That officer came there with the intent to act as he did. He was on a collision course and when something is barreling towards you you have to get out of the way or get hit by it. Not enough of our kids are taught that while other kids are and I'll leave it at that.
