Police pursuit ends deadly
ahofle:
Did any of you see this?

The suspect was definitely an idiot, but I wonder if this wasn't a bit excessive for an eluded traffic stop. Will be interesting to find out what happens to the officer that jumped up on the hood.
AtomSmasher:
Do you have details of what happened or just this video? Did the driver have a gun he was pointing at the cops that we couldn't see? Is the cop under investigation for his actions or do you just think he should be from the little we see in the video? And why was this posted in EE and not PnR?

Well it's not about religion or politics specifically (and I don't have access there).
I'm a bit confused on what actually happened (the driver was definitely not armed from anything I've read though). I've read reports that say the suspect tried to run over the officer and he 'ended up on the hood', but to me it looks like he jumped on.
Here's one article:

To me it looked like the car was rolling forward at the cop when he jumped on the hood, the cop then pointed the gun at the driver and said don't move, but the driver didn't stop the car, so the cop opened fire.

Moral of the story; don't --- smurfing --- run from the cops!
Wish more pursuits would end this way. :applaud:
edit: spelling and punct.
