Police pursuit ends deadly

Jouster:
Am I the only one that thinks that the car was a deadly weapon?  Does he really need a gun to kill a cop?

Something similar happened around here a few years ago where the cop had to jump on the hood to avoid being run over...then he emptied his mag into the driver's seat.  Caused some issues...but the cop was in the right.

The way this idiot was driving...it's a good thing the roads were empty or could have killed someone.  Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Quite right.
Reminds me of the war stories some of my friends come home with, where they say they sometimes regretted shooting down people in the field when they thought there could have been another way to handle things - only to find out upon searching them that they were primed with explosives on themselves.

I know it isn't the same thing here, all I'm saying is it's different when you are in the action yourself. I think, considering the conditions, things could have been much worse. I'm not even going to touch on the issue of right and wrong, you guys seem to have that covered.  ;D

Isn't this more something for the Politics n Religion forum?

no, im the only one who DOESNT think the car was a deadly weapon at that point. the cops previously MADE it deadly by getting into a high speed pursuit. ill say it again, how deadly could the car have been when the cop can just hop on the bonnet and perch on one knee? and ill say it again, how is it that these trained cops ended up in a potentially dangerous situation like that when all they had to do was stay behind their cars?

The cops did not make it a deadly weapon by pursuing. The driver of the car made it a deadly weapon, and he alone was responsible for anything that happens due to the chase.
