Oct. 28 traffic stop that showed Montoya shooting at the minivan as Oriana Farrell of Memphis, Tenn., drove away from a traffic stop after an officer knocked out her van's window with a baton.
The 39-year-old motorist had been stopped by another State Police officer for speeding. Authorities said she fled twice after that officer tried to give her a ticket and then arrest her.
After a chase that reached speeds of nearly 100 mph, Farrell and her teenage son were arrested in front of a Taos hotel. Farrell was released on bond and faces charges of child abuse, fleeing and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia for a pair of marijuana pipes that authorities say were in the van.

You don't fire into a car full of children for a traffic stop. If she is being retarded, you tail her. you don't smash windows and fire a gun at the car.
I have no idea what that officer is appealing. If they are not threatening you with deadly force then you legally you can't use deadly force.
First of all,
She was pulled over for doing 75 in a 55 mph zone. who follows the 55mph speed limit (I keep it at 65 mph to keep from being pulled over but technically I should get pulled over every time). Another Driving while Black Violation
She was not trying to escape since she stopped for the officer twice. The officer was hostile the second time and I think she she felt threatened by them. They were in a desolate area and she fled to a public area where she then surrendered to police.
The mother is wrong for what she did initially (she could have gotten her kids killed with her actions, especially that son who put his hands on the officer), and for the 100 mph chase after but what the cops did was even worse. That could have ended in tragedy and it would have turned into another race issue. I swear these copers don't think. They shoot first and ask questions later.
Once you see a car full of children, the game plan changes.
What do y'all think?
