This young man may simply have used bad judgment in the person he chose to give a ride to, but the fact (verified by videotape) is that a known drug-using woman got out of his car right before he was shot to death, and he did not respond to an officer showing him his badge, but rammed the officer instead. He could very likely have been guilty of nothing; however, it might be prudent to let the investigation play out before assuming that he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Either way, it is a terribly sad situation, and his wife, family, and friends are in my prayers.
