Well you could link to an article that actually talks about the facts of the case rather than is just an anti-cop blog.

If she did say that she had a gun, and then starts making movements that indicate she is try to get to her gun, it would explain why it was ruled as a justifiable shooting.
And where is this gun he said she supposedly said she had? Lol. Just cause it is from an "anti-cop" blog doesn't mean it isn't true. That is like saying you can't trust anything from a pro-gun blog cause they are pro-gun.
From your article :
According to the documents, the deputy told investigators Fizer would not roll the car window all the way down which is why he tried to open the driver's side door.
You aren't required to roll the window all the way down -so why was he really trying to force the car door open?
Buuuuuuuuuut, hold up there officer :
a video recording of the incident shows Hannah Fizer’s driver’s side window was rolled down and/or was being rolled down as Schutte made his initial approach toward her vehicle.
And....
Documents showed the deputy told investigators Fizer refused to identify herself, said she had a gun and threatened to shoot him.
yet.......From the record and other articles :
nowhere in the record of the radio traffic did Schutte report to radio dispatch that he was going to arrest her for refusing to identify herself. Instead, he can be heard on the radio telling dispatch she was more worried about recording him than giving him her identification.
Furthermore, the radio traffic reveals Hannah Fizer did in fact identify herself, as she can be heard on the audio recording clearly saying her name, “Hannah Fizer,” at a volume the Pettis County deputy would have been able to hear.
Then....
According to initial reports, Schutte said Hannah Fizer pulled over and stopped her vehicle in a secluded location. The lawsuit states video evidence demonstrates that she pulled over on a well-traveled road onto a clearly visible area that ran between two operating restaurants in Sedalia.
So how many
lies is this cop going to tell?
Also, from the article you posted :
Documents stated the video showed the deputy take out an expandable baton, then three minutes later following a verbal exchange, at 10:02 p.m., the deputy drew his weapon and tried to open the driver's side of Fizer's car door again.
Also hilarious :
The video showed Hannah Fizer moving about inside her car.
Of course she is moving in the damn car - he is trying to pry the door open, threatening her with a baton - then draws a gun on her - who wouldn't move?
Schutte drew his firearm and fired repeated shots at Hannah Fizer at point blank range without first moving or attempting to move to a position of better safety or cover while giving her commands or calling for support and backup.
As XJ said - his actions do not indicated there was any threat in the video. Also, it is mentioned in both articles she was / going to / attempting to record the stop. If someone was going to shoot a cop - why would they record it? Makes zero sense. Give how easy it is to record a video these days - big surprise :
In the moments before shooting, documents said the deputy told investigators Fizer was recording him on her phone
Documents said troopers were able to unlock Fizer's cell phone, but said they did not locate any recordings of the incident.
Yeah, Right.
The "special prosecutor" statement :
A special prosecutor assigned to the case, however, declined to file charges against the deputy, saying “the shooting, albeit possibly avoidable, was justifiable under current Missouri criminal law.”
That sounds a whole lot like "Well the way I interpret the law, we can protect one of our own even though he wrongfully murdered an innocent person, in a complete
"avoidable"situation."
Officer Doofy f*cked up - and they are covering for him. She knew he was up to no good - either by what he said during this stop, or previous interaction - started recording, and that is why she wouldn't allow him to open the door. Whether it was the rejection of him, or his power trip - he felt the need to stand there under no pretense of threat against him and dump 5 rounds into her.
That officer, and those who covered for him all deserve to be thrown on trial and charged with the max the law allows. There are multiple crimes committed here in addition to murder.
And just for disclosure - the quotes I used that aren't in the article I quoted from Joe came from :
