Pull over and STOP
I said SEVERAL times that he may be wrong once the facts come out. The ONLY judgement I made was to say it's crazy how fast some on here judged the officer and they KNOW he is wrong and should be fired. Seems like a few on here would fit right in with another alphabet group!
Just my humble opinion on the above. Seems we get plenty of threads "locked" around here without the forum members asking for it to happen. Not everyone hovers over these forums 24-7 so it could be that someone hasn't "said their piece". There could be someone who hasn't chimed in yet, but would like to when they have the opportunity. They might even have a link to something more informational and more current than the "30 second video" (it was much longer ,than that). There's been a little feistiness, but no name calling and no real personal attacks against other forum members. These are "discussion forums", not "agreement forums", so let the topic be discussed. You'll never convince me the Win 88 is superior to the Sav 99, so should we just not talk about it?
Not every discussion has to "change someone's mind" either. Open debate is just that, debate.
Look at you guys acting all civilized and stuff... What is this world coming to?
LOL +1 ^^^
It's pretty telling which folks are defending this POS cop.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
While I am not defending the state cop, I still have questions about the incident that haven't been answered. There are 2 professions that I always treat with a healthy dose of skepticism, lawyers and the media. Since the bulk of the information has been provided by those 2 sources, I'll reserve my outrage until all information is available. Bob
^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^
And i am GLAD that I didnt change your mind. That was not the intent. I only WISH people would get all the facts BEFORE they start the witch hunt. VERY possible that this officer was wrong, but we do NOT have enough information to say 100% that he is an awful human being and should be fired! Who gave him the permission to implement the PIT? Not sure about that state, but here you have to get permission or clearance to perform such a maneuver.
If there is a back story, it's probably about the copper having a history of prior bad behavior.

This discussion reeks of the idiot POS in St Louis that was, Pants Up, Don't Loot.
Some of the same names...
I will wait till the water clears, because everyone of them was wrong in that instance. But fry the cop anyway.
All you can find in the news now is that he is being sued. You can sue anyone nowadays for anything. His boss stood up and said exactly what was said in here by a few.....when you see blue lights pull over and stop. Since this happened a while ago, I assume they did an investigation and found the officer did nothing illegal. He is still in the force and I can find no mention of punishment or any wrongdoing.
I think I read he was fired and if his boss backed his actions he should be fired too. He had no reason to use deadly force against that woman. End of story.
I'm just following along with the "guilt or not" part. So, let be better understand this. He didn't do anything illegal, but he should be fired and his boss should be fired and someone mentioned right off the bat that he should go to the hot place. Now I'm confused. Should we punish people for NOT breaking the law now?!
I agree, but several people did say he should be fired or even 1 had a worse idea for him. I just hate when people are SO fast to jump on an LEO and say he shoulda, coulda, woulda. Very few actually put their $ where their mouth is and take on that profession. I see that you did, thank you! I chose a different profession but it just rubs me raw because I have friends and family in LE and they deserve SO MUCH better. It seems that a few bad actors have put a target on ALL officers. Like I said several times, this trooper may have been in the wrong BUT I didn't see all the evidence. I assume his boss did, and they chose not to administer punishment. Once this lady sues then maybe we will get "the rest of the story." Unless the city folds and settles.
I tend to be in the camp of get the whole story and allthe facts . Then i can form an objective opinion . You know what happens when you " assume "
LMAO. I'm not angry and have not disparaged anyone. Take a DEEP breath, it will be ok.
