I actually played this video in one of our roll calls for officers. This is an eye opener to say the least.

Geez, people just don't know when to give up do they? Or maybe, he wanted to earn fame this way, stupid decision.

So, in watching the squad car ram the suspect car, I imagine that falls under some sort of department policy in authorizing the officer to use whatever force necessary to disarm the suspect?
Just curious if the office would have been in trouble after taking that action.

I would say it fell under "weapon of opportunity" in a deadly force situation.

The first thing I thought of was "ram that car!!"...it was a perfect opportunity to hopefully get the jackass, and it did.
Great job guys!

Wow. This brings home all our Explorer advisor told us about felony stops. Safety is #1, you can't rush a stop, or somebody will get hurt.
I'm confused though, at the last part, did they mean to hit the car, or were they just going too fast? I ask, because they didn't swerve at all, or take any evasive action to avoid crashing.Alexander-

I don't know, but if I was in their position, seeing the guy about to get out, I'd just do whatever it takes to kill him so that he couldn't kill me. Originally Posted by Alexander Smith

Great training video!
But typical Murphys Law...perp treats his car like craps and slams on brakes, a police vehicle with bumper bars hits it, perps car flies up in air lands, and the cop cars dies, and teh perp drives away in his car.

That is one pathetic excuse for a human being. Great call by the officer to ram the car as the driver was about to get out and start shooting again. 11 life sentences? Awesome. Good thing no good guys were killed.
