6. The 17 yr old is an unfortunate victim, as is the driver. It's likely the 17 yr old was paralyzed with fear during the entire incident.



5.Again, nothing against any officer.

6.Yes


Thanks Sandman for not being a prick about it like some people are.

And because of your post, I understand better now. Yeah the pit manaveur may have been the only thing they could have done in this case (MAYBE not though).
If that is the only method though, I think more methods need to be developed or something. That could have just as easily been a hostage that the officers didn't realize was a hostage.
