Dang, this is a long thread... It's nice to see other people who like to argue for the sake of arguing - I do it all the time!  What's the record for longest thread? 
Yeah, I'm a troll...

Eh, you missed it sigma. Arch doesn't even know who he is replying to (himself in at least one case, lol).
Just because I click on the closest 'reply' means I dont know who im replying to? Geez... how immature can you get?

quote=Sandman333]Lol, I think that, on these forums, you have just done the equivilant of commiting suicide. I have a long established reputation around here, and by your post count, I'm guessing you don't. I am a police officer, and know what is practical and what is not. Some of your suggestions just make no sense from a practical standpoint. If you have come to this type of attack, it is clear that you have lost the debate. Good day.
Let me explain this for you:
It means that I have been here for quite some time, and others know who I am and what I stand for. You, being relatively new, ought to consider that before you make such childish attacks.
Well the cop part was implyed. You might want to choose your words a little better so we dont have to argue about it later.

Look... Im saying that the choice the cop made, was not the best choice, there were other methods of slowing/stopping the car that should've been employed.
Like what?
That's all I'm saying -- I will concede that the cop should have done something else if you can tell me what that something else is.
What should the cop have done that had a less likely chance of fatalities and still resulted in their arrest?
You are right, a better decision should've been employed -- but one doesn't exist to my knowledge. I've been waiting for, what, 2 days now to hear one from someone. I know a lot about offensive driving and stopping cars but I won't say I know everything, I'll concede that you just might think of something that would work that myself and the instructors at Fort Bragg can't think of. But it's nothing you've said so far, that's for sure.

what? deciphering your cuniform?
hardly.
so, if we were having this conversation IRL, you would not bother to turn your head to the person you were addressing, and instead look at only one person the whole time, and expect everyone else to know who you were talking to? No wonder you are failing in your point here.

Just because something is hard to do, or maybe injure a cop, doesnt mean that they cant do it. Cops sign up to risk their lives every day, they know they have to, to preserve life. Boxing the car in is definately a pluasable soultion. Spike strips would also work, there are spikes that rip apart the tire at low speeds to stop a car, and there are spike strips that are just large needles which deflate the tires for high speeds. Letting the cops back off and following the car with a chopper is another pluasable soultion. How many more soultions do you want me to give you? Granted there is no easy way to do it. But if everything was easy for cops, then they wouldnt be chasing a car down the highway in the first place.

EXACTLY! By eliminating the nutcase in the Pathfinder they were preserving the life of the law abiding motorists; motorists like you, me, and our friends and family.
Furthermore, LEOs do risk their life everyday and know that when they sign on, but they also have a desire to go home to their family too; and given the choice between a LEO acting lawfully in the line of duty and a criminal in the act of a crime I'd pick the life of the LEO every single time.
