the shooter's name tells me everything I need to know about why he used lethal force against these young poeple. If he voted for trump I also know why he used lethal force

Then I would be hesitant to put you on a jury.
Driving at someone poses lethality and serious injury. It looked like the car was accelerating. What I saw was not prejudicial towards the police. Nevertheless, more evidence and video would be helpful.

of information, I will stand by what I wrote. Given that this happened in Florida I remember Trayvon Martin and the excuses here and other places the pig zimmerman got for shooting that unarmed young man who was in the right area, he was 17 years of age. His father lived there. Also the voting record of Cuban-Americans in this election let me know exactly where they stand when it comes to race relations. I stand by what I wrote. Believe what you will, I don't care.

You don't even know that he's Cuban, but you assume that he is, and then he must be guilty because he belongs to an ethnic group that generally favors Republicans.
I'm sorry, but this is the definition of prejudiced. I would encourage you to use some self reflection.
