I skipped to the end of the report where it said she was exonerated. I just thought she should have gone around to her partner where she might see what was happening. In hindsight, she wouldn't have seen anything since her partner wasn't shot. I assume since he partner claimed he was shot and shot up his own car, they decided she didn't deserve any blame. Fair point I guess.
I disagree, and it's my only real complaint with how TPTB responded.
I was on board as she drew her weapon, moved to cover, and started talking to her partner. I even understand taking the whole "I'm Hit!" at face value in the moment. But I can't get past her firing her weapon when she had no target. Even if we let her assume the suspect in the back of the car had a gun and was shooting at her partner, she had no idea where he was, and no shot at a threat. I can't excuse popping off rounds in American towns without a clear threat being targeted. That car isn't stopping those bullets, and there's a parking lot and buildings back there.
She made a mistake (Fired at not a threat) and broke a safety rule doing it (Know your target and what's beyond it). She should face some repercussions for that. Not necessarily being fired or anything, but she shouldn't have been told she was correct.
