Running from the cops = death? Interesting sort of system you have there Frizzle. What's next? Maybe people should be killed for fighting with cops even if unarmed or maybe people should be killed by the cops if the cops think they have a weapon even if the weapon turns out to be a chocolate bar or a cellphone...no wait that already happened. How about the fact that the cops were close enough to shoot the tyres of the car out and didn't bother. How about the fact that at the time he was killed the only person he was endangering was the dumb cop that jumped on his hood? How about the fact that the last time he was pulled over by a white cop at night he had ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- beaten out of him for nothing?

I'll tell you what Apollo.  You walk in the shoes of a cop for a week then your opinion would mean a little more to me.  Until then,  I write you off as uninformed...

Another person I'd listen to if he'd walk in the shoes of a policeman for a week.  Shoot the radiator...shoot the tire...HAHAHA...You people aren't that dense are you?  I mean,  this is a put-on,  right?

Apollo:
Thank god we have you to put us straight Frizzle, I don't know how you find the time for all that book learning in between the NASCAR watching, the fried chicken eating and the hub cap stealing :notworthy:

On a completely different subject I would totally do that girl in your avatar, she's smokin.

KenToad:
Some crazy arguments go on in here, but there is absolutely no reason why that cop should have jumped on that car in the first place and then be forced to use deadly force to regain control of the situation.

For example:

here is the page before if that one fails to load:

http://www.newsnet5.com/news/14012046/detail.html?subid=10101081

The video at that link shows an interview with the innocent passenger explaining that the cop jumped on top of the vehicle and, near the end of the video, you can clearly see the cop perched on his knees on the hood of the motionless vehicle.   The vehicle starts up again very quickly, placing the cop in potentially mortal danger, but why was the cop kneeling on the motionless vehicle in the first place?  I guess he saw one too many Stallone movies.   :dunno

The perpetrator obviously needed to be stopped, but this kind of on-the-spot death sentencing just can't be tolerated.  The police are there to enforce the law, not to be the judge, jury and executioner.
