If they get out of the way; then they can’t open fire.

See post 11.

Here comes big Al.

If cops roll up, you better not try and flee the scene.

Yeah, if there's gunfire, don't try to save your life by running away. You might scare a police officer who will shoot you while he runs for cover and wets his pants.

Stay there and die like a man. The cops want to go home safely.

[Responsibility2nd]

Do what I do.

When running from the cops, I bring a dog or two to throw at them.

Improves my getaway chances.

Another “Travon”?

The original article states he was shot with a rifle.

The person who wrote this article should be in jail for journalistic malpractice. The headline is deliberately misleading. The first sentence is deliberately misleading. But this is the NY Daily News, a leftist rag written for people incapable of understanding sentences of more than 2 words. Designed to cause riots in the streets.

The NY Daily News has degenerated from a decent news outlet in years past to a blatant Commie leftist RAG. Not even fit to line a cat litter box. It even has a large section devoted to stories about "immigrant (read: ILLEGAL criminals) rights".

You can put the address where it happened in Google street view.

12300 Baron Drive Balch Springs.

Older neighborhood. Couches in driveways.

And 2 exits. Why was the driver backing towards the cops instead of heading the other way?

If he was so smart why was he out hanging with thugs on a school nite?

[Scrambler Bob]

Straight A Freshman.

How many grading periods has he had so far? One semester, maybe two quarters? And as a Freshman, is he taking ‘intro’ classes?

My Grade: F- , due to use of ‘man’, twice, and numerous masculine pronouns agreeing in gender and number.

So if the theory is that the police officer was trying to stop the car by shooting at the driver (which by the way is banned by policy in many jurisdictions in the absence of a danger from a weapon other than the vehicle itself), it sounds as if he missed.

[Theoria]

Another article noted that none of the passengers were charged with underage drinking and that the shot teen was in the front passenger seat.

Terrible...

Sorry for the family...

Right. Next time someone tries to run you down, see how that works out for you.

[Calvin Locke]

As in “The Bonfire of the Vanities”, perhaps?

Is it a pit bull?

[Stingray51]

Right. Next time someone tries to run you down, see how that works out for you.

Actually, that makes more sense under most circumstances than shooting at the driver.
