Most of the cops I have encountered can only see what is in front of them.
And apparently you lack the ability to see what is in front of you.

They have lost the ability to see or think of any other alternatives.
And some people spend so much time thinking of alternatives that it's too late once they get around to acting.

Evidently it runs in the family.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

I had an uncle who was the same way. It turned out he really DID have a stick up his ass.

What type of attack? I am not saying that you have a stick up your ass. I am saying that cops who have been in the force a long loose the ability to not think like a cop.
In other words cops dont know whats going through other peoples heads. They try to think of what would be the best outcome for them.
The way that cop looked on the video, I dont think he gave two s*its about the two people who were killed.

70 mile chase.... 13 miles into GA.
45 Minute chase... 10 minutes into GA.
Yup I guess you're right. Cops wouldnt have been able to get a helicopter to pick the car up with a magnet. Because you know, chase 'copters always do that. Spike Strips wouldnt have been able to be used in that 70 miles ethier. And I guess the presence of all those cop cars and 18 wheelers, they couldnt have boxed the car in ethier. There is ALWAYS another viable alternative. In this case there were many and the cop chose the wrong one. And if you're seriously going to tell me that the cop didnt know he was going to kill the people inside of the car, or at least criticaly injure them, then you are the most ignorant person I have ever known of.

"The way he looked", huh? Wow, so much for your whole "innocent until prove guilty" spiel. So.. looking guilty is enough to proclaim guilt, but running from the cops isn't. Man, and all this time I thought that running from the cops made someone look a little guilty of something.
You've got to be the biggest [censored] hypocrit I've ever seen.

You apparently have no [censored] clue how likely it would be for that cop to have killed himself attempting the maneuver he did. I sure as hell know that I wouldn't be trying to run into a car twice my size at 100mph.
The best outcome for that cop would have been not endangering his own life and not have to go through all the crap (and rightful crap) that one wades through after causing two fatalities while on the job.

Spike Strips at that speed are more lethal than the PIT manuever.

What MOVIE did you watch to get this bright idea? Semi-Trucks and Boxing people in a 110mph? Man, I gotta catch that movie, because it sure as hell couldn't happen in real life.
When you stop watching so many movies and join us in the real world, you can participate in the conversation.

Wrong, police do have much more authority to use deadly force than civilians. That is well established in every state (lol, well, maybe not Texas). And yes, the PIT maneuver is considered deadly force, but so is attemping to shoot out the tires, or using spike strips at that speed.
