This decorated Marine veteran claimed he wanted no trouble, but in a split second, he turned his car into a deadly weapon, leaving this sergeant fighting for his life on the hood of a moving vehicle. The scene started at a Florida hotel. Charles Mikl, a former Marine and Purple Heart recipient, was calm. He talked about his past, his time in prison, and his service to the country. To the officers, it seemed like a routine call that could be settled with a simple conversation. But as backup arrived, Mikuel's tone shifted. Cooperation ended and intent took its place. He ignored every command to stay put and reached for his car door. The officers didn't realize they were seconds away from a nightmare. He floored the gas. The sergeant had nowhere to go and was slammed onto the hood. While being carried by the car, the officer had to make a life or death choice, firing his weapon through the windshield to stop the threat. Mikuel survived the shots, but couldn't escape justice. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The officer survived with minor injuries, but the mental scars of that day will [music] last forever. What do you think? Was the officer's reaction justified?
