Yeah, noting all the red tarts, I am sure this comment is like many others that you make: BASED ON AN ABUNDANCE OF EXPERIENCE. As mentioned, it appears the officer tried to stop. There's nothing like an INEXPERIENCED armchair quarterback! Often I see incidents
taht I thnik I would have done differently. However, I am not there to see the totality of the circumstances (such as what led up to the point, what is going on outside of the camera's view, did the officer attempt to stop, etc.). Try removing your head
frmo the netherregions before making comments like that... or at least try
walknig a mile in his shoes first!
FWIW, I chased a guy once and he was smart enough to stop when he saw the car coming at him. I would venture to say that I am faster than most people (not just cops, not just those reading this board, but MOST PEOPLE) and sometimes you need to use the car.
...now, back on topic: That is going to leave a mark!
