A woman bystander was struck during the gunfire exchange and was taken to the hospital with serious conditions. Gonzalez said the man was believed to have two open felony warrants.
Our deputies are not required to allow anyone to violate the laws.
Wut?
It also doesn’t mention anywhere who’s shot hit the woman in the summary blurb. Was it the cops or the dude who began shooting at the cops that was shot dead?
They aren’t. And often don’t. If they stopped everyone who violated a traffic law they’d have to invest too much time and effort for little effect. That’s why there’s usually a threshold most of us know we can get away with speeding a certain amount. Cops have to use their discretion on which offenses to persue and which to ignore

Passive language, “was struck”= the cop shot her
It’s a response to the “sovereign citizen” thing. Sovcits believe that the law does not apply to them.
It reads like they are not required to stop someone violating the law. They can if they want, but they could also just let the crime happen.
