He is well aware of the protocols in place that regulate when it is acceptable for an officer to fire on a moving vehicle. Reserved for instances when the officer or civilians are in immediate danger. Neither seems to be the case in this situation. As a Pentagon officer, Dixon has no police jurisdiction in Maryland, where the shooting took place.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time that officer Dixon has drawn his weapon. Just a year earlier he was involved in two incidents. A video has surfaced showing Dixon pointing a shot gun at an unarmed homeless woman with her shopping cart in the lobby of Dixon\u2019s condominium. When the woman turned to leave, he sprayed her with pepper spray. He also pulled his service weapon on a man reportedly threatening him with a machete.<\/p>\n<p>None of these incidents, including the most recent shooting, appear to have happened while Dixon was on duty.<\/p>\n<p>No word yet on whether Dixon lives in the Tacoma Park area, or what he was doing armed with his service weapon on the street in the middle of the night. There is also no evidence that either Williams or Johnson had committed any crime. The only motive for firing on the two men according to Dixon, is that they \u2018failed to head his instructions.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><em><strong>Check out Ty&#8217;s book THE POWER OF PERSPECTIVE.
